Everything that kills me , makes me feel alive

I find the songs that have the most human components in production are the ones that will stand the test of time.

Crowds respond to anthemic choruses.

I knew I could make money from songwriting, so how much and when was not really the question.

Melody is the single most important thing to any song, period. I don't care what anybody says, it trumps everything. Not because that's my opinion but because I think it's actually indisputable fact. The human brain retains melody easier than it retains words. It's that simple.

Just because a suit fits, doesn't mean it looks good. You need a tailor. You want to get bespoke.

Writing songs is about trying to connect with people on a deeper spiritual level - but I'm not a fan of contemporary Christian music.
