\u201cmy song is about pigging out in the middle of the night with peanut butter. it\u2019s the worst thing you can do, eat fats and then go back to sleep. i\u2019m horrible.\u201d
\u201care those the lyrics?\u201d
\u201cno. i wouldn\u2019t sing it that way, the lyrics aren\u2019t that direct.\u201d
\u201cwhy is that?\u201d
\u201cif I sing i\u2019m pigging out on peanut butter in the middle of the night, i\u2019m getting fatter every day and i hate myself\u2026it wouldn\u2019t reach as many people.\u201d
\u201ci don\u2019t know about that, you might like star wars even though you never had a spaceship.\u201d
\u201care you making fun of me?\u201d
\u201ci think people recognize someone\u2019s real connection to what they say.\u201d
\u201cit isn\u2019t funny.\u201d
\u201ci wasn\u2019t laughing.\u201d
\u201cshould i sing it?\u201d
\u201cgo ahead.\u201d
\u201cI\u2019m losing the fight, up at night, again I hate, taking the bait. let myself down, again a clown, it\u2019s out of range, i\u2019ll never change\u201d
\u201cwhat happens in the chorus?\u201d
\u201ci get more depressed\u201d
\u201cwhat happens in the bridge?\u201d
\u201cdidn\u2019t write one.\u201d
\u201cmaybe you make a bridge in which you stop being down on your behaviour?\u201d
\u201ci wish.\u201d
\u201cthat\u2019s what a good bridge is, a new angle.\u201d
\u201cbut that\u2019s not my world, i don\u2019t stop being down. i been stuck this way for years that\u2019s why it\u2019s easy to write about it\u201d
\u201cdid you want my opinion?\u201d
\u201cyeah that’s why i’m here.\u201d
\u201ceffective bridges have new ideas, go in unexpected directions.\u201d
\u201cbut the rules are tell the truth.\u201d
\u201cwhat rules? says who?\u201d
\u201cyou shouldn\u2019t tell a lie.\u201d
\u201cyou can say anything in a song. you can totally lie.\u201d
\u201cthen it isn\u2019t sincere.\u201d
\u201cseriously?\u201d
\u201cwhy are you asking me like that?\u201d
\u201cit\u2019s about ideas. maybe your idea is to write about your actual experiences but you could also get across your actual experiences by making things up in the song. like fiction. you know like Of Mice And Men? there probably never was a real george and lenny but the idea of them resonates.\u201d
\u201dnever heard of it.\u201d
\u201cOf Mice And Men?!\u201d
\u201cany others?\u201d
\u201cthe only boy that could ever reach me, was the son of a preacher man. that doesn\u2019t necessarily mean he really was the son of a preacher, but it makes you think about the feelings the singer has. makes you think about issues around intimacy, manipulation, hypocrisy. \u201c
\u201cyou think she was lying?\u201d
\u201cnot about how she felt.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
