Ansatz / Approach Emotion Etwas / Some Geschichten / Stories Ich schreibe / I Write Idee / Idea Nett / Kind Schreiben / Write Thema / Theme Universal Versuchen / Try Wann auch immer / Whenever
Sometime I write a song off a central idea, instead of emotion.
I don't think about the styles. I write whatever comes out and I use whatever kind of instrumentation works for those songs.
My brain kind of works in steps. I have to go through things and then process them and then write about them. I have to understand them first.
Still to this day, I don't know when I write something whether it's good or not.
I travel, I read, I write, I have other lives. But when I have a camera, I know that's my country, my island.
Usually when I write a song, I'll write the music and then kind of fit some words to it.
I tend to plan as I write. And I want to leave myself open and the character open to keep on going until it seems to be the time to stop.
No matter who the characters are, you can strip them down and find small universal truths.
A lot of times, I walk down the street and listen to people argue, and then I write a song about it.
