Everyone Wants To Feel That

You Write A Scene, And It Works Or It Doesn't. It's Immediate.

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.

Your Limitations Make You The Wonderful Disaster You Most Probably Are.

I Write A Lot, And Very Often I Write A Couple Of Lines That Are Particularly Revealing In Some Kind Of Way. And Then As A Few More Lines Get Added And A Piece Gets Added, Eventually The Song Pretty Much Takes Over And You Can't Really Find A Way To Change Those Things.

In Getting Older, I Find Myself Becoming Progressively More Ineffectual In A Lot Of Different Ways, And Part Of That Is Down To No Longer Having The Youthful Feeling That What You're Doing Has Any True Impact.
