I pay attention to my favorite songwriters, and they're way smarter and way better at writing songs than I could ever be. You know, like Paul McCartney, Neil Young, Randy Newman are all just phenomenally gifted singers and songwriters; however, none of them have really been able to create real greatness in their older years compared to what they were doing in their 20s and 30s . I guess it's a cycle, it's almost impossible to write music that crushes and touches people's hearts in that way once you've made it. Once you can afford a house, another house over there and another over there, it's like that weird fine line of comfort changing you . But it gives me hope when I hear a Paul McCartney song that he did in the last couple of years that reminds me of who he is deep down inside. Not that he's got anything to prove, he's already given the world more great songs than anybody else I can think of, but it makes me happy that he's still able to do it. (it) |
