It's when someone has an agenda of their own for the record that it doesn't work for me.
I was motivated by just thinking that if you had all this external success that everyone would love you and everything would be peaceful and wonderful.
I'll keep evolving and put that into my songs.
I'm doing it because I choose it. And if it's not working, I can make a change.
In my opinion, I think sarcasm and humor in a song, without turning it into a novelty song, is really charming.
