Last year's troubles, They shine up so prettily, They gleam with a lustre they don't have today.

I think that if you have a strong narrative, if the idea of the song can be boiled down to the basics, it won't change that much.

I think people are sexy when they have a sense of humor, when they are smart, when they have some sense of style, when they are kind, when they express their own opinions, when they are creative, when they have character.

You have to defend your honor. And your family.

Last year's troubles, They shine up so prettily, They gleam with a lustre they don't have today.

Kindness to me is only powerful if it has the cruel streak behind it. If someone is kind all the time under all circumstances, they're just simple-minded. Kindness is only worth something if you have the cruel streak to back it up.

Writing is always personal in some way but not always in a direct way.
