write a good song

Since I started the band, I’ve been more pushed to write. Lyrics have become the most difficult part – I’m a perfectionist. I actually have several songs at the moment that seem like they could become “good” songs!

Writing a song is not difficult. Anyone can do it; I’ve been doing it since I was 10. But there’s a difference between writing a song and writing a GOOD song. I want to create a work of art, an immediate classing, something that will last, something that others will feel, and ultimately something with which I’m completely satisfied.

I think the most difficult part is being pleased with my own music. When it comes to songcraft I’m a perfectionist, which results in much of my work never seeing completion. I write a lot of songs, but very few make the cut when I ask myself “Am I happy with this?”
