became formative hip listened outside records roll songs
My mother's records were formative for me, but when I became a teenager, I wanted to find songs that she wasn't hip to. She was so hip, though, that I had to go outside rock n' roll - so for about 10 years, I only listened to hip-hop, house and techno.
amazing assignment couple ended gives left songs written
It's pretty amazing to write under any circumstances when someone gives you an assignment to write a song, even if it doesn't get accepted. I've written songs a couple of times, some for Disney, that haven't actually ended up in their films, but then you're left with a song forever.
becomes feels four happen life relevant sing song songs
It's interesting how songs can evolve. Sometimes I'll write a song that feels relevant in the moment, but four years later, I don't want to sing it anymore. Then something will happen in my life, and the song becomes relevant again.
bass demo drum garage manage songs
I demo all of my songs on Garage Band, where I pretty much play everything - not very well, but I manage to hammer out a drum beat and a bass idea.
love songs time
I love kids, but there's always time for them later. You can always adopt; you can have a puppy. The songs are my children.
betting won
I've won hundreds at the track, but I'm not betting on the afterlife.
creepy rather slightly
It would be nice to create something that's healing rather than slightly creepy and darkly judgmental!
I used to be a huge collector, and my big thing was stickers.
age people wrote
The Rilo Kiley song 'A Better Son/Daughter' is my most requested song - especially for people who are at the age I was when I wrote it. It's sort of a mid-twenties lament.
guess hard love time tried
I've always tried to get around writing love songs, I guess because I've always had a hard time saying, 'I love you.'
life music sort transcends
I've always just had sort of a dark take on life, I suppose, and hopefully, the music transcends that in a way.
family felt great relationship surrounded
I've always felt lonely, even if I'm in a great relationship or surrounded by my friends and family.
Songs are really interesting in that way. Sometimes, they grow with you. Sometimes, you outgrow them.
side understand until
Sometimes you don't understand what you're going through until you're on the other side of it.
