dream song writing
Sometimes I dream song ideas. I write a song in my dream, the melody and everything. But then sometimes I can't remember them. I think later on, I probably do.
glasses term
I have had to come to terms with wearing glasses.
commitment snakes strikes
I'm fascinated by the whole concept of snake handling. When you read about the Pentecostal snake handlers, what strikes you the most is their commitment.
my-boyfriend broke-up spending
I just broke up with my boyfriend, and I've been spending more time alone than I'd like.
writing stuff mood
I usually don't write about my life right when it happens. I process it, and I store it away. Then, when I get in the mood I pull the stuff back out.
success congratulations ends
If you come into success too soon, you'll burn out and be finished before you know it. If you let the maturation process happen naturally, you'll be happier with yourself in the end.
people spotlight
So few people are truly themselves when they're in the spotlight.
mean complaining trade
I don't mean to complain. I wouldn't trade my life for anything.
song teenager writing
I don't keep a journal anymore. I did when I was a teenager, but now because I write about it all in my songs, that's what I'm really doing.
power trying sound
I'm trying to learn how to tap into the power of my own being. I know it sounds corny.
writing ideas ems
I'm always writing ideas down and then I stick em in my pocket and put em in that folder so I don't lose them. Like, somebody might say something, and I'll go, oh that's a good line, and that goes in the folder, too. It's kind of an ongoing process for me.
real hype people
Sade's stuff is real deceptive. She's got stuff about prostitutes, poverty and people on the streets.
song strong nice
When I started out playing guitar and singing, I was about twelve, going on thirteen. The role models for me back then were the folk singers. They all had these high, really nice voices and ranges, like Judy Collins and Joan Baez, and then later, of course, Joni Mitchell and Linda Ronstadt. I decided early on that I was going to learn how to write songs really, really well, because I didn't want to have to compete as a singer. I didn't feel that it was my strong point.
writing crafts able
You can't be afraid to deal with your demons. You've got to go there to be able to write.
