inspiring listening stuff
I listen to both oldies and contemporary stations. I enjoy listening to current stuff because there's an energy to it that's inspiring.
jobs doe done
That's one of the things I love about being a songwriter first, last and always, because whether I do it or not, if someone does a great job on it, my work is done.
brain may pages
Sometimes I get a lyric, and the lyric, you know, comes off the page, and goes into my brain and comes out with a melody. Other times, I may create a melody first.
song home people
One of the things that I try to be conscious about in crafting a song is the concept of bringing it home. I like to bring it somewhere familiar, someplace that people feel it's resolved, it's settled.
inspiration perspiration
Once the inspiration comes, that directs where the perspiration goes.
life trying answers
If there's any answer, maybe love can end the madness Maybe not, oh, but we can only try.
inspirational beautiful you-re-beautiful
You're beautiful as you feel.
dream garden long-ago
Way over yonder is a place I have seen In a garden of wisdom from some long ago dream.
real love-is illusion
Only love is real...everything else is illusion
thinking fearless want
When I was younger, I was kind of fearless. I think it takes more courage to do things when you know more. I was completely naive, and I was like, why can't I do anything I want to do? You know, go for it.
inspiration writing incredibles
The writing of You've Got a Friend was one of the most incredible experiences because it was mostly inspiration. It just came to me almost as we hear it.
desire wanting-more want
Not only do you want to leave the audience wanting more, you want to leave yourself wanting more.
believe going-away matter
It's a very worthy cause. This should happen, and I do believe that tenacity counts. Not going away matters.
life morning heart
You've got to get up every morning with a smile on your face And show the world all the love in your heart.
