- It's the melody that comes through, sitting on the piano, humming along and not really putting words to it yet. I kind of think about what I have wanted to write about at that time and the moods that I'm in. Lyrics are always last... my best song happens to be written about personal experience – whether to me, my friends, my family. In some instances, I get my writing from a broader sense. (en)
- All of the singer-songwriters, and the way they married their lyrics and their phrasing with their instrumentation. I listen to James Taylor and Bob Dylan... Stevie Wonder. I listen to Ryan Adams, Band of Horses... and then I start to think about my second album! (en)
- There wasn't anything really specific, other than just being a person in this country who does watch TV and movies, and reads newspapers and magazine. It's pretty much all around me, the content and talk of the war. I guess I was just sitting at the piano and it started to come out of me. It's been in my face for so many years. One of the things that I kept seeing on CNN and everything was all of the coverage of political battles going on instead of how hard it is to be a soldier. Instead of actually thinking of what the soldiers are going through. I tried to highlight their struggle in the song. (en)
- I never knew that I would write a song about the war. It just started to come out of me one day at the piano. It's not about Democrats or Republicans or who thinks what; it's really just about how hard it must be to be a soldier in this specific war. In a war that the entire world has criticized from day one. (en)
