I can speak for most songwriters - those breakup love songs are so easy to write, as far as the inspiration and all that. ↗

I've only been to Ireland once, and I felt I would wake up with voices in my head, almost like music, and that if I were a songwriter, I would be very inspired. ↗

I think people appreciate a songwriter who shows different sides. The whole angst thing is cool, but if that's all you've got, it's just boring. Everything I write, whether it's happy or sad, has a sense of humor to it. ↗

I built a reputation as a songwriter in the industry before my own hits. People were used to coming to me for songs. There were songs like 'Clown' and 'Mountains' that were my songs that I wanted to keep. But the record labels saw me as a songwriter. It was hard to get people to believe in me as an artist. ↗

It's a songwriter's dream to have a song recorded and run up the charts. ↗

It may not be the most popular but there is a place for it. I think about the kind of music I love, acoustic, melodic, and I guess it kind of took a bit of courage on my part to think I could be one of those songwriters. ↗

I honestly don't class myself as a songwriter. I've got 'musician' written on my passport. That's even funnier. ↗

As would-be songwriters, our interest was in black music and black music only. We wanted to write songs for black voices. ↗
