When I'm in London, it feels like I am that character who is 'Tom Odell.'
pleased situations useless
I think I subconsciously put myself in these situations where the girlfriend isn't pleased with me. I'm useless as a boyfriend. That's how I managed to write all these songs.
bob dylan everybody people
I think everyone mentions Bob Dylan, but he's someone I just admire so much as a songwriter. I think people write songs, and then there's Bob Dylan songs. He's one step ahead of just everybody else.
feelings gone good life love strongest
The strongest feelings I've had in my life are when love has gone right and when love has gone bad. And I think strong feelings make good songs.
four lines progress song wrote
The first song I ever wrote was when I was 12, and it had, like, four lines in it. You progress and get better.
behind hear hiding people pure
I want people to hear the honesty in my singing, and that I'm not hiding behind anything. It's raw. It's not for any arrogance or ego. It's just pure feelings.
home listen music records travel
When I'm at home, I like to put records on, but because I travel a lot, I listen to a lot of music on my iPhone.
bad cold good great life rains saying songs totally weather york
I'm not saying you have to be totally despondent or anything, but... in New York, it's cold sometimes; it rains sometimes; even if everything in your life is great, bad weather can set the mood. You can write songs in New York because it's not always perfect. To write a good song, things can't be perfect.
I don't think I'll ever be able to grow a beard.
came music playing
I've only ever had one doubt about music. It came when I was 11. I hated playing scales.
album blew found jeff listened remember rooting tapes time
When I was around 13 or 14, I started getting really into songwriting. And one day, I was rooting through my mum's old tapes and records, and I found 'Grace' by Jeff Buckley. I remember so vividly the first time I put it on. It blew my mind: his voice, the way he could play the guitar. I must have listened to the album over and over for weeks.
common musician taylor
Every musician writes about past relationships. And other than that, I can promise you, I have very little in common with Taylor Swift.
consider good looking lose
I would consider myself a perfectionist, yeah. I don't think that is always that helpful, either. Sometimes it's good to be a little more open-minded; you can overthink things when things are actually fine, and it's that moment that you lose it. Looking back, sometimes I've made mistakes from being a perfectionist.
england represents standard wearing whenever
Everyone in England knows about Burberry, and it kind of represents a standard of being well-dressed... But the nice thing is, they have a lot of clothes, so I still feel like myself whenever I'm wearing their clothes.
