You can lose people without them dying, and I have, from moving, from traveling. The emotion is real, it just doesn’t actually have to do with death. I’m singing about what I know, and it’s a song about longing for somebody who’s disappeared in your life Picture Quote #1

That’s death and life, you see. We all shine on. You just have to release your hearts, alert your senses, and pay attention. A leaf, a star, a song, a laugh. Notice all the little things, because somebody is reaching out to you. Qualcuno ti ama. Somebody loves you Picture Quote #1

Lyrical poetry is not a big part of most people’s lives. Twitter now becomes an interesting way of getting cared for language into people’s space.

I’ve always worked to find really deep meaning of song and also at the same time having it covered in sugar, so it can be taken two or three different ways Picture Quote #1

True joy doth need no song to praise it, silence for love’s delight is best Picture Quote #1

One day. I was putting on a hill in Zurich, and a few hundred yards away, Diana Ross was doing a sound test at an arena for a performance that night of ‘Take My Breath Away,’ my song with her. That was a very nice game, an incredible feeling Picture Quote #1

When I am performing live, I walk into a room, and I just try to get a feel for the vibe, and I am coming from different angles musically. I might come with a new song, I might come with some hip-hop, with some R Picture Quote #1

When you have great songs that are going to live longer than the composers, everything you can do to bring those different elements and nuances out, serve the song Picture Quote #1

When a person listens to a good song, and they can look out at the world and their lives and see the dark and the light, the negative and the positive, all the different elements, all come together in one holistic poem, that is a very healing and very reductive thing, and that’s what my music is about Picture Quote #1

That’s what I love about songwriting - that you can write something about your own experiences and think it’s completely specific to you, and then people can take away a completely different meaning for themselves. I really love that. I think you’ve been successful at writing a song when it has a larger life than yourself Picture Quote #1

Try Again’ - every time I hear that song, it just brings a smile to your face. When you’re feeling like crap, and you hear, ‘Dust yourself off and try again,’ it kind of just puts you in a different mindset, 100 percent Picture Quote #1

When you listen to my music, you hear that there are all these voices going on in different parts of the song. That’s because I was always around so many voices in church Picture Quote #1
