SINS, thanks! When the heck did I sing that in your presence? I don't think I've done it since last summer.

I try to share what I feel about things, but I also try to make it worth listening to. Not just making my diary rhyme but finding a way to communicate how things touch me. It's having a sense of who's listening instead of not caring.

The more I think about it, the more I believe what makes a good song about one's experiences or feelings is the same as what makes a good song. It doesn't matter if you have something you think is important to tell people if it's not something they want to hear. Bashing people over the head with any sort of idea doesn't work.

I'll tell you something. I haven't been writing very long, but I've yet to write a serious song that hasn't made me cry while writing it. It's not necessarily because I'm sad, but I have to peel everything away but the emotions. I have to find the heart of what makes an idea worth sharing. The hard part is trying to explain well enough so other people can catch a glimpse of that heart, because that's what I want to show.
