country song ocean
Like a wave on the ocean I will always come right back to you.
song writing want
Any time I write a new song, I am jazzed about it for like 24 hours and then I am over it and want to write another one.
song feelings my-favorite
My favorite song depends on the day, what I’m going through, what I’m feeling.
song circles people
Singing live is my favorite. When people sing along to your songs, the circle is complete.
song writing years
Yes, I did lock myself in my room for about two years and write some songs and things like that. But I don't feel like I missed out on a whole lot.
song couple weekend
When I was 13 or 14, I took seven months off from touring. I did a lot of weekend gigs in Louisiana. We have fairs and festivals every weekend. But I took seven months off. That's when I really started digging deep. I wrote a couple songs that year that I still play every now and then for people.
anyone confident drawn feeling relationship struggled time
I struggled with feeling confident for a long time, but I think it's important to be strong and not compromise for anyone or a relationship - I'm drawn to that.
born deciding love music waking
I was born with this love for music, and I say 'born with' because I don't really remember a day waking up and deciding that I'm going do to music. It's been all I've ever done and all I've ever wanted to do.
cared edge great time
'Wanted' is about a girl I was friends with, but at the time it was teetering on the edge of something more. I wanted to show her that I really cared about her. 'Wanted' was my way of saying, 'we're friends and have a great foundation, and this could be something really special.'
bluegrass classic country demo drew element finding grew guitar home love mandolin somewhere
Every demo I do has a mandolin or resonator on it - some element of the bluegrass or classic country world that I grew up listening to and that first drew me in. And then I always try to find somewhere for a bluesy guitar sound, because that's also what I love. Musically, I'm always finding my way home.
constantly critical rewriting room spend spread time
Writing by myself, I spread that out more. I'll spend more time on a song then. I'm more critical about it, because there's no one else in the room to tell me, 'That's really not translating. I'm not getting what you're saying.' So, I'm constantly rewriting it, thinking, 'No, that's fine,' and going back.
creative fun love road studio time weeks
There's something fun about the road because there's no 9 to 5. But I do find myself making the effort to take some time off. As much as I don't want to, I have to. I need to reset. I love weeks off, because I can go in the studio and just be creative again.
I wrote my first song when I was 6 years old. It was actually called 'Six Years Old.'
spent wrote
I wrote my first song at 6. I spent every day with the guitar, and I just made up songs.
