#songs

Our songs touch people, and take them back to a time when there was no threat of terrorism, when you didn't have to lock your doors and when Mom and Dad took care of everything. ↗

Some people might go to the gym and swim laps, but I write songs. Every single day, I write something new and record it. ↗

My older sister encouraged me from early on and bought me one of the first guitars I had. She listened to all of the crappy songs that I wrote when I was 8 years old and encouraged me to keep doing it. ↗

I see some recurring themes: things that feel threaded together, some symbolic references, and songs about some of the big questions, like death. There are a lot of references to weather, too! ↗

I do write songs with a political dimension to them sometimes, but I'm always slightly appalled by it when I do. ↗

I've written songs about things that nobody else has ever written about. ↗

I want to be as honest as I can about the things I've been through - the sorrows and joys, victories and defeats - and to use those experiences as a well to draw from. Hopefully, the songs that result from that kind of writing will be songs that mean something to others. ↗

It's great when you play to an audience that knows the words to all your songs, and sings them back to you. ↗

A lot of the songs are written on piano or guitar, so I contribute, and I have done so since the beginning. So it's been good to be involved completely musically as well. ↗

The kids out there want something they can relate to, something that's real; most of that whiny stuff isn't real. The cheesy pop songs just bore me to death. ↗
