There's many, many ways to write a song. But generally, sitting down at a table and writing is not one of them.
When I sit down to write, I don't think about writing about an idea or a given message. I just try to write a story which is hard enough.
I could tell it was a popular move as a writer to walk down the bass lines while you were writing a song.
When something is bothering me, I write a song that tells my feelings.
I write in longhand. I am accustomed to that proximity, that feel of writing. Then I sit down and type.
If I lose, then I have to accept that my way of writing books is not the way society says it's okay to write.
Just writing and being in the studio was like therapy for me.
I've been doing my big theater projects, which take years, and writing a song here and there.
Working out makes me feel strong and energized every time. It's my therapy for my mind and my body.
