You can sometimes get your own feelings across more strongly if you pretend that you're singing it from someone else's angle. But it's always from me. It's just a new way of framing it.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
What I say is from my heart. You must be sincere. So when I sing a song, people are supposed to feel it.
Sometimes you sing songs about the way you want to feel more than the way you actually do feel.
I always want to bring emotion across in a straightforward way. I don't want to get histrionic when I'm singing. For me that's just not interesting; it goes too far down one road.
Maybe with your emotions and your feelings, someone else can say it in a different way than you would, which brings new life to the way you might sing it.
When you raise your voice in song to express what's going on deep inside of you, I think people just react to that because it's so truthful. It's so raw.
It may not necessarily reflect my current frame of mind. Sometimes I have to put myself at the point in time of the voice that I'm trying to sing with.
There's so many singers, you watch them and a lot of it is waving around. You don't get this feeling that they're really thinking about what they're saying.
There's not only emotion in the way you sing but also in what you sing. That way I can compensate it.
When I'm writing a song, it gives me more actual pleasure to hear someone else sing it than do it meself.
So it's the greatest compliment in the world when people want to hear you sing. That means it feels good to them, so I keep doing it.
