I read a lot of prose poetry and get inspired by more-so just a state of mind.

I write songs so that people can make them into what it means to them as well.

I'd say Ernest Hemingway would be a blast to get drunk with.

I tend to not try and listen to a lot of other artists while I'm writing, because if I hear something that's brilliant.

I'm not bashing people who write songs that are just 'get on the dance floor and party party', I understand why people need those songs too, but I don't really write lyrics like that.

I'm not avoiding specifics, but I've always written songs from more of a global standpoint.

I think that a great song needs the full package. I think that a great song needs everything from lyrics, to melody, to music, and it needs to be interesting and it needs take you in and swallow you and swish you around, and then regurgitate you back in better form.
