I think my favorite thing is songwriting. — © Carlos Ponce
I think my favorite thing is songwriting.
Making vocal hooks is my favorite thing to do. That's what I love about songwriting - making catchy stuff.
First thing, I throw on some jeans, a T-shirt and my Keds sneakers and make coffee. That is actually my favorite time of day. That is when I do my songwriting, when I am in writing mode.
I started out with piano when I was little. That, for songwriting, is my favorite instrument.
Well my favorite thing about being a mom is getting to relive your childhood all over again, that's one of my favorite things. And my favorite thing about being a wife? I have more freedom to just be crazy, because he's already stuck with me.
My parents' example of a loving, caring relationship, I think, has affected my songwriting a ton and allowed me to start writing love songs that people could connect to without sounding like you're being cheesy, because they're coming from a real place, something that I saw coming up. I think they're a huge influence on my songwriting.
I think just letting go is a really good thing to do in many areas of your life, songwriting included.
My favorite thing is to go out in the arenas, like, an hour before doors, and run the concourse. And you get that anticipation. You smell the popcorn. You see the people tapping the kegs. And nobody is in there yet but you, but you feel it. It's my favorite thing on tour.
The thing about me is that I'm very fortunate to have had the opportunities with Avenged Sevenfold in songwriting. I really think it's helped to bolster my guitar playing as well.
That's the great thing about songwriting: You have that time to have perspective and look back and think about all the things you'd want to say.
That's my favorite part about songwriting, the way you write a song, and someone else might hear it a different way.
The idea of songwriting is a transformative thing, and what I do with songwriting is take situations that are quite ordinary and transform them in some way. Apart from things like the murder ballads, the songs I write, at their core, are quite ordinary human concerns, but the process of writing about them transforms them into something else.
Songwriting for me is about zooming into the canvas, not songwriting in a typical sense.
Songwriting was always my 'plan B'. I didn't even know that songwriting was a job until my late teens!
My songwriting process is painful. Songwriting is brilliant. It's a load of fun - when it works. It's really difficult as well.
Songwriting was my own journey. I never fit in with structure in songwriting.
I really wanted to focus on my songwriting, or songwriting with other people. I wanted to go learn from other people who were really good at the classic, more traditional idea of songwriting.
