I have to really feel a song before I’ll deal with it; and just about every song I do is based either on an experience I’ve had or an experience someone I know had gone through.
“The germ of beauty will develop very little where a meagre nature denies man all invigoration, and where a wasteful nature relieves him of any effort — where dull sensuousness feels no need, and where powerful appetite finds no satsisfaction”
Friedrich Schiller | On the Aesthetic Education of Man
