It's hard to write a song about reality because reality doesn't rhyme.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Poetry is the deification of reality.
I do try to write in ways that reflect reality, and I think that reality is rarely simple.
Reality only reveals itself when it is illuminated by a ray of poetry.
A rhyme doesn't make a song.
There's something so wonderful about writing in rhyme where it isn't just the meaning of the words, it's the music to the words and the shape and the sound.
Poetry is not easy. Or should I say, real poetry is not easy.
To write a good song, an artist has to drawn from reality. There has to be some spark from realism that communicates a real feeling to someone else. You have to be real. Or you have to be a really good storyteller.
Reality is what you can count on.
Every song I've ever written has been based in reality, based in fact, things that happen to me.
The actual writing of a song usually comes in the form of a realisation. I can't contrive a song.
