Good question, give me a moment to formulate a reply. Oops, can't use words like formulate in song writing - it doesn't flow. Songs are such a wonderful thing: poetry set to music, words that tell a story, make you laugh, make you cry, or want to dance. I learned that depression can help you write beautiful sad songs. Sometimes when the words are coming to me and it's turning out to be something better than ever I get on a writers high. I write songs that I know somebody out there somewhere can relate to. I also write because I want to be a player in the world of music. As was said earlier, it's a lottery chance at immortality even if I become a one-hit wonder.
