My, oh my, how 'Sometimes When We Touch' has travelled since I solemnly wrote my first version at the age of 19.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
When you look at the lyrics of 'Sometimes When We Touch,' it's really very much an adolescent song.
I've heard, 'May the Force be with you' about as many times as, 'Hey, how you doing?'
When I started to write a tune, I just wrote the nearest at hand, which was what was happening in my own life.
I was born to travel and write verse.
I've been writing since I was 19.
I started writing one afternoon when I was twenty, and ever since then I have written every day. At first I had to force myself. Then it became part of my identity, and I did it without thinking.
The first time I tried to write was when I was 14, after I got an electric guitar. I put a song together, and it wasn't that bad! The writing came natural to me.
People will come up to me at shows and tell me that a song touched them in a completely different way than I wrote it. That's fun. Fans translating it in their own way.
I was 15 when I first became deeply touched by the rhythm and structure of words.
Writing never came naturally and I still have to force my hand to do it.
