I just remember really loving words and writing about anything I could, and the way I’d remember things, like my library card number, was to make a melody.
I think artists are aware that talking gives a songwriter so much material. If they just tell us what’s happening, it’s so much easier for us to write a song that’s specific to them.
An artist could have a really big relationship, and then they break up, and any song after that, people are automatically going to assume that that song is about that person.
