I’ve been having kind of a weird couple of weeks so I’m going to basically keep this post short sweet and to the point. I learn something new about writing songs almost everyday just from dealing with the shit life throws at me. What I’ve learned lately is that even though everyone always says to write from your own personal experiences, sometimes you just can’t. When I was doing my masters degree and writing anywhere from 1-3 new tunes a week, I just ran out of life to talk about. I still managed to write somewhat autobiographically and to be honest, now I kind of wish I hadn’t. This week I’ve learned that if you freeze moments of your own life in your work, they are going to stay with you a long, long, long time. What if you don’t want them to?
