If certain songs become popular enough to the point where I'll be playing them the rest of my life, I don't want them all to dwell on the same down moment that I'll have to keep reliving.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
To get nostalgic about other people's music, or even about your own, makes a terrible statement about the condition of your life and your prospects for the future. I have no patience with that kind of attitude, whether it's on radio or among friends.
Music has to change. I don't want to stay the same forever.
It's interesting how songs can evolve. Sometimes I'll write a song that feels relevant in the moment, but four years later, I don't want to sing it anymore. Then something will happen in my life, and the song becomes relevant again.
I grew up listening to everything. I have such a love for music, but I don't want to make the same album over and over again.
I don't think there is anything hard at all about having a lot of songs. It makes it easier to be less precious about them, and know that everybody's going to want to work on some of them.
When you are pushing yourself to not go back to the same well, you're gonna come up with something different, or you'll find songs that are different.
I never know if a song's going to be popular so I don't select them with that in mind. All I can do is follow my heart and my gut and go for songs that make me feel great.
I'm not used to not having enough time to live with the songs. Usually, if I write something, I live with it for a little while.
If there's not drama and negativity in my life, all my songs will be really wack and boring or something.
I'm not one of those artists who doesn't want to play their most popular songs.
