But I was never interested in teaching or in falling. I just wanted to play. Maybe it can even have the same effect that too much musical training can have on your playing in that the more you know, the more you realize there is to know. And that can be overwhelming. I really learned more about songwriting just by listening to records and the radio, or going out and seeing shows.
Most rock seems to have some sort of pop format to it, and pop is all about verse and chorus.
My dad helped me write it when I about six years old. I was really excited about it, and I took it to be a sign of encouragement. Now, I don't really question it. And it's not a matter of whether or not I am any good. It just took me a long time to figure out that I simply write songs, therefore I am a songwriter.
