My favorite song as a boy was definitely ‘Downtown’ recorded by Petula Clark. I still love it! And the original cast recording of ‘Gypsy’; I played my mother’s cast recordings until there was no vinyl left.

When you sing a song of love, you’re actually giving something to yourself, too. You’re singing and casting these affirmations of love out into the universe. It resonates in your body in a way that feels extraordinary.

I love ballads. I’m not into fast songs. I love to put my heart and all of my feelings into a song.

You wind up creating from silence, like painting a picture on a blank canvas that could bring tears to somebody’s eyes. As songwriters, our blank canvas is silence. Then we write a song from an idea that can change somebody’s life. Songwriting is the closest thing to magic that we could ever experience. That’s why I love songwriting.

I feel like every time I write a song, it feels like the first time I wrote a song. It’s just as hard; it doesn’t get easier, but that’s why I love it: because it’s a challenge every time. I also feel like I’m learning new ways.
