Songwriting Quotes

I’m treating country music like it’s a sport. I’m looking at where my competition is and realized I needed to work on my songwriting Picture Quote #1

Country music busts the wall between performer and audience. There’s a connection because there’s a vulnerability, a confessional quality, to so much of the songwriting. Those lyrics take you in Picture Quote #1

We have this really retro vibe and style of songwriting and, personally, I wasn’t embracing the current state of music until I fell in love with hip-hop. It felt good to suddenly embrace where music was headed, and I think hip-hop is the best at that, because it feels so progressive and everybody wants to be the best Picture Quote #1

That’s what I love about songwriting - that you can write something about your own experiences and think it’s completely specific to you, and then people can take away a completely different meaning for themselves. I really love that. I think you’ve been successful at writing a song when it has a larger life than yourself Picture Quote #1

My main thing is just to keep writing. I’ve been doing some songwriting that’s for my own record, I suppose Picture Quote #1

Think back to the early rock n’ roll records, and the average record length in the 50s - and well into the 60s - was two and a half minutes. It’s very hard to put that much songwriting into two and a half minutes Picture Quote #1

Usually the things that happen in my life are an easy trigger for songwriting Picture Quote #1

I feel like when the songwriting slows, I’d love to help others with their records. If it’s something I really believe in, it’s worth the effort Picture Quote #1

Gatekeeper’ was sort of my first attempt to put a little bit of a frame and boundaries around songwriting, and try to figure out a way to approach it that had a sort of end result in mind. I haven’t written many like that Picture Quote #1

I think my entire songwriting catalog reflects where I was in my life at the time. I capture whatever moment I am experiencing in life Picture Quote #1

I love songwriting. It’s second to my love for singing in how I express myself 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

Where I’ve arrived now is the product of mixing the very straight with the very exploratory; there’s a fine line between the two, although it tends to be getting straighter and straighter because my songwriting is getting better Picture Quote #1

I’m from a little island off of Massachusetts, Nantucket. It’s hard getting into the music business from there, but my parents took me to songwriting festivals because I would write and produce my own music Picture Quote #1

All I know is when I start getting serious about songwriting... it’s like a playground. All responsibilities slip away and you’re with your essence. There can be delight there and self-discovery. You can dance there... I think of it as my serious playground Picture Quote #1

When I was around 13 or 14, I started getting really into songwriting. And one day, I was rooting through my mum’s old tapes and records, and I found ‘Grace’ by Jeff Buckley.
