You've got a song you're singing from your gut, you want that audience to feel it in their gut. And you've got to make them think that you're one of them sitting out there with them too. They've got to be able to relate to what you're doing.
When I record somebody else's song, I have to make it my own or it doesn't feel right. I'll say to myself, I wrote this and he doesn't know it!
For you I know I'd even try to turn the tide.
I love to go to the studio and stay there 10 or 12 hours a day. I love it. What is it? I don't know. It's life.
I start a lot more songs than I finish, because I realize when I get into them, they're no good. I don't throw them away, I just put them away, store them, get them out of sight.
I'm very shy really. I spend a lot of time in my room alone reading or writing or watching television.
