I'm a bit of a magpie: whatever I see or hear or read feeds into the songs.
I would never sit and write a song in front of anyone, because you're so vulnerable. I don't know at what point in the process that it becomes acceptable to pass them on. When a song wants to be written, it will be written. When it does come, I will very rarely go back and edit lyrics. I'm quite a rational human being, and the only part of my life that I can't rationalise, or can't make sense of, is how a song gets written or why.
All my songs come from me because I only seem able to write about myself and my experiences.
I feel sometimes that I'm in a constant state of being lost in translation, and I guess that why I write songs.
My songs are not pretty. They're what I call optimistic realism.
When a song wants to be written, it will be written.
