People have made comments about how my music is generally subdued, sad, a little wistful maybe... and someone asked if I ever write anything upbeat. Let me be clear: I love all genres of music. It's all inspiring, and I'd love to experiment with different things in the future when I have access to more musicians, more time, and more experience. But, every artist has their style. I guess this is mine. I don't sit down and say, "I'm going to write a sad song now." It just comes out. And I let it.
In my everyday life I don't tend to dwell on sad things. But I want to be true to whatever the feeling is that has inspired the song. It's a voice I want untainted and honest. And once it's out there, I feel like I can make peace and move on.
I think every kind of feeling that rises in our hearts, yearning to be heard,
deserves a song.
