One thing a lyricist must learn is not to fall in love with his own lines. Once you learn that, you can walk away from the lyric and look at it with a reasonable degree of objectivity.

It's not just a revue where one song is done, then another. There are concepts and ideas at work.

The talent is always there and art is cyclical. I’m optimistic.

I'm never gonna stop the rain by complainin'.

Loneliness remembers what happiness forgets

The love of a girl can make a man stay on when he should go,Just tryin' to build a peaceful life where love is free to grow.

In writing I search for believability, simplicity, and emotional impact.
