Normally you'll have a structure to a song. You'll have an intro to a verse to a pre-chorus to a chorus, kinda repeat that, maybe there's a bridge, then you'll go out on a chorus - that's the quintessential song structure - sometimes you might do a fake-out, re-do a pre-chorus but the chorus doesn't come until later, but for the most part you follow these tried and true structures.

I made songs really for myself - I didn't ever expect to put it out there and make this a record for mass consumption, this was really just a way for me to get out of my own situation and reclaim that part of myself - so when making the songs, I wanted a testament to what I'd gone through, I wanted a snapshot of those moments.
If you don't listen, you're never gonna learn.
These are dangerous days we live in and you, the artists, are our last defense.
About six years ago my family was affected by multiple sclerosis.
I would rather be trampled by thousands of children than touch a spider.
Everything I've ever dreamed of, everything in my wildest dreams, is coming true.
No one is born with hate in their heart...
People don't always realize that a record is forever. It'll always be there under your name. You've got to be certain that it's right.
