I have a 6-year-old, and his thing is to turn on Radio Disney in the car, and I get such an allergic reaction to listening to that music and the context into which it falls. I`m really working on him about that.
I didn`t want to play these people any more songs and have them say that they weren`t good enough. So my response was to just not be able to write anymore. I know that`s not the healthiest of responses.
I certainly understand that we`re all trying to make a living, but I`m not thinking about that when I`m making it. And if that`s your sole motivation, it`s going to reflect that narcissistic greed, and you`re going to hear it in the music.
For me, there`s a fine line between telling a story that`s fictional with lots of details and then removing yourself too much from it, so it`s bloodless, a little too fictional.
I wanted to try to write songs on the piano to get a different flavor.
