When I was young-ish, I listened to the standard soundtrack for teen life:
Led Zeppelin, Boston, Aerosmith, and basically anything the radio played.
I truly thought, even though I played the trombone in school, these men playing guitars were actual Gods, and that one must GLOW like a heavenly being (or a devilish one in Jimmy Page's case) in order to do this incredible guitar thing.
And ya know what?
I was OK with that. It was good enough for me that I was able to even LISTEN to this stuff. I didn't need to BE one of them.
Then I had a misunderstanding with a baseball, and it busted my mouth up, which subsequently ended my musical exploits with the trombone. Parents bought me a guitar. I write songs. I get a myspace account.
My songwriting influences are very simple: Bob Dylan and Radiohead
However: I will play any Motown I can wrap my fingers around.
AND I enjoy quirking around with newer rock hits and making them acoustically jangle. PLUS if there's a great drinking song with a good hook, I really can't say no. IN ADDITION I try to incorporate at least one girl song per set. That is, a song written or best known as being performed by a woman. JUST AS WELL, I love a great embarrassing song, something that may make people squirm a bit.
Sounds Like
I have listened to so much music in my time on Earth, that I go to great pains to make my songs sound like NOONE else's.
I've been writing songs since I was 21, and if I can,
I'll write songs till my last breath.
I don't write them for money. I have a job, or two.
I don't write them for albums. People steal music on the 'net now.
I don't write them to get women.
Bought the T-Shirt. Shrunk it, bleached it, threw it out.
I don't write them to send a message to the people of Earth.
Let Bono do that.
I write them because it's the most fun and rewarding thing ever.
I think everyone has songs in them, and they should record them,
Listen to them, and pass them down.
Some songs are not safe for public, but most are.
