There’s an element to songwriting that I can’t explain, that comes from somewhere else. I can’t explain that dividing line between nothing and something that happens within a song, where you have absolutely nothing, and then suddenly you have something. It’s like the origin of the universe Picture Quote #1

The idea of songwriting is a transformative thing, and what I do with songwriting is take situations that are quite ordinary and transform them in some way. Apart from things like the murder ballads, the songs I write, at their core, are quite ordinary human concerns, but the process of writing about them transforms them into something else Picture Quote #1

I respect country music because I feel like it’s more about the talent and the songwriting and I put on a big show and we have a lot of stuff, but I feel confident in myself enough as an artist and a singer that I can have all of those fun toys and know that we don’t need all the bells and whistles either Picture Quote #1

I wanted to be a singer, of course, but there was something about the songwriting, then and now, that is the most important thing. It’s how I express myself, how I express how I see things. When I see people struggling with emotions and feelings and don’t know how to put it down, I’m able to do that. It’s really like a therapy, and it’s like a buddy and a friend. It’s a way out of a lot of things Picture Quote #1

What happens a lot with songwriting is that a melody or rhythm or something stays with you like catching a cold. And during that time what happens is that I can then fit things on to it, it all fits and glues together. Sometimes it’s crazy cos it can almost be anything. But if you catch the cold then the nonsense makes sense. It’s like you’re getting beamed it, like with a ouija board and something’s pushing your hand. It’s not a pleasant experience necessarily Picture Quote #1

I actually write film music because I’m classically trained on the piano so as well as songwriting I also write actual film music that could be used for movies like war movies and love movies Picture Quote #1

I think probably the only thing that is around in these songs is that I was really lonely when I wrote a lot of them. But it was really by my own choosing because I was devoting myself to songwriting and dancing and I wasn’t really going out and seeing people Picture Quote #1

Songwriting is the other weight on the opposite side of the scale from touring. They balance me out creatively Picture Quote #1

Songwriting is the most terrifying thing to me, because you are really laying your heart out there Picture Quote #1

And I look forward to the time when I can become more indulgent with my songwriting. But this band is a family, and it’s a process that we have to grow with together Picture Quote #1

I love the art form of songwriting. I get to carry a lot of vibes to a lot of people. My songs are all about the human condition, and people will be able to find themselves in my songs Picture Quote #1

For me, songwriting is something I have to do ritually. I don’t just wait for inspiration; I try to write a little bit every day Picture Quote #1
