'Finally' actually started out as a poem. I always wrote poetry, and pretty soon I figured out that if I could write poems, I could write songs.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I'd always loved poetry and I'd always loved writing music and composing music, but I hadn't thought of putting the two together until around that time.
The act of song writing and recording became one and the same to me; because I essentially recorded everything I did from the day I began trying to write songs. I've always had a lot to say. I'd always written poems.
I always wrote poetry and stuff like that, so putting songs together wasn't that spectacular.
I've always written poetry and lyrics. My first husband, who was a musician, we wrote a bunch of songs together.
I wrote my first song when I was six or seven, a silly little song. But I used to write poems in high school - not songs.
Well, I still write poetry, but I wouldn't call myself a poet.
Poetry was one of the things that interested me most as I was growing up. I used to write it in my head all the time. I still think the very greatest pleasure in life is to write a poem.
I have never started a poem yet whose end I knew. Writing a poem is discovering.
I began the way nearly everybody I ever heard of - I began writing poetry. And I find that to be quite usual with writers, their trying their hand at poetry.
I've written poetry since I was a kid. As the years went on, I got into writing stories and screenplays, but I always, always kept up with poetry as well.
