I Don't Write Happy Songs. Who Does? I Don't Know Anybody Who Writes Happy Songs, Really.

I Have To Be Able To Pull You In. How Can I Diversify My Audiences? What Role Do I Have To Play To Be Part Of That Shift? I Have To Take That Seriously.

Music Is Storming, Driving, Relentless, Devotional, Slinky, Subtle, Heartbreakingly-beautiful Sounds That, Lyrically, Switch From The Cynical To The Sanguine, The Defeated To The Defiant, Dealing In Love, War, Beauty, Children, Romance, Rejection, Pethedine, Poetry, Panties, God, Auden, Johnny Cash, Cold Potatoes, Too-much-money, Not Enough Money, Writer’s Block, Flowers, Animals And More Flowers. But Maybe I’m Projecting Here.
