I'm not done writing songs about you yet.
Originally I was not writing songs for myself
A lot of people pretty much only listen to the chorus.
A lot of people don't listen to the lyrics, really.
I love writing songs.
My songwriting and my style became more complex as I listened, learned, borrowed and stole and put my music together.
I started being a songwriter pretending I could do it, and it turned out I could.
I love writing songs. I'm a songwriter.
I consider myself a poet first and a musician second. I live like a poet and I'll die like a poet.
That's what my life is, writing songs.
For me, songwriting is something like breathing: I just do it. But that doesn't mean you're fantastic.
Songwriting is a very mysterious process. It feels like creating something from nothing. It's something I don't feel like I really control.
Music breeds its own inspiration. You can only do it by doing it. You may not feel like it, but you push yourself. It's a work process. Or just improvise. Something will come.
I'm enjoying writing songs that are more stripped back.
Songwriting is about getting the demon out of me. It's like being possessed.
I'll be writing songs till I die. There's just no question.
I don't write songs, songs write me.
