anyone came male mind people
I wouldn't mind being the male Adele. She came along, and people were like, 'Damn, we haven't heard anyone this real for years.'
kept work worried
Singing didn't really come naturally to me, I don't think. I had to really work at it. I just kept singing. I never was really worried about it, though, because I was writing songs, and that was the most important thing to me.
becomes defines music shared song
Music is shared. It's a shared feeling; that's what music is all about. When you listen to a song with someone else, it becomes more than just a song. It defines relationships.
complain girls music pleased women
There are a lot of women at my gigs. The first show I headlined was a sea of women, which I can't complain about. I'm pleased these 18-year-old girls like my music.
bob bruce continue inspired jeff love music rest whether
It's like there's the rest of the world, and then there's America. Part of the reason I would really love continue to making music over here because so much of American music has inspired me, whether it's Jeff Buckley, Joni Mitchell, Bob Dylan, Bruce Springsteen.
When I'm in London, it feels like I am that character who is 'Tom Odell.'
pleased situations useless
I think I subconsciously put myself in these situations where the girlfriend isn't pleased with me. I'm useless as a boyfriend. That's how I managed to write all these songs.
bob dylan everybody people
I think everyone mentions Bob Dylan, but he's someone I just admire so much as a songwriter. I think people write songs, and then there's Bob Dylan songs. He's one step ahead of just everybody else.
feelings gone good life love strongest
The strongest feelings I've had in my life are when love has gone right and when love has gone bad. And I think strong feelings make good songs.
four lines progress song wrote
The first song I ever wrote was when I was 12, and it had, like, four lines in it. You progress and get better.
good millions
My aspirations aren't to sell millions of records, but to write really good songs.
behind hear hiding people pure
I want people to hear the honesty in my singing, and that I'm not hiding behind anything. It's raw. It's not for any arrogance or ego. It's just pure feelings.
arcade bob bruce david dylan early elton john next obsessed
One month I'll be completely obsessed with Bob Dylan and the next Arcade Fire. I like early Elton John and David Bowie, Bob Dylan and Bruce Springsteen. I listen to a lot of American bands. But I like listening to new bands, too.
record tend
I tend to write and record things quite quickly. You can tamper with things for years, and it's artistic laziness sometimes.
