The song 'Try Too Hard' I wrote when I was 10 or 11.
I don't specifically sit down to write a Motley Crue song, so for me, that's how it works. The things that sound like they might be Crue, I put aside on my hard drive and keep them in that pile.
The first song I ever wrote that I liked was called 'When You're Alone.'
I just love storytelling. I write music to tell stories. So when I'm done writing a song, I take it and go, 'Okay. How can I interpret these lyrics differently?' I love taking lyrics that were so close to me at a certain point in my life and then revamping them. I always want to take things to the next level.
When I'm writing my blog, I think of myself at 13 years old, back in St. Louis, daydreaming about Hollywood.
When I was a kid, I wrote music - from the age of 11 until the age of 18.
I'd listen to all the stuff that was going on around me and drift off into my fantasies about it. My fantasies have fuelled all the songs I've ever written.
Finding fresh song topics can sometimes be quite difficult.
I wrote my first song when I was six or seven, a silly little song. But I used to write poems in high school - not songs.
I'm writing constantly about all my crazy experiences across the world, so I have a lot of music I've already written.
I've been writing songs since I was a little boy. You know, I think I wrote my first song when I was 11.
I write some country music. There's a song called 'I Hope You Dance.' Incredible. I was going to write that poem; somebody beat me to it.
My, oh my, how 'Sometimes When We Touch' has travelled since I solemnly wrote my first version at the age of 19.
I started writing songs when I was eight.
I was inspired to make music since I was 7 because my aunt is a songwriter.
Growing up in Memphis and listening to all kinds of music and dreaming... So that was one of the first times I wrote a complete song and set it to music and the whole bit. From then on, I was busy with it.
I've been working on my own music. I've been writing an album, stuff that's kind of personal to my own life.
The first song I wrote was called 'Here I Go Falling In Love' I wrote it in the sixth grade.
I'm not like a professional writer with professional skills. Songs kind of come into my head the same way they did when I was a kid. I say I'm an overgrown kindergarten kid. I work on songs.
I started playing guitar when I was 13. I'd written a few songs on the guitar over some time. I'd written a book of poetry, and I got a book of lyrics that I had when I was a kid.
The other day, I said I should write a song, 'When Does the New Wear Off?' I think it would be a helluva title.
People don't always realize that as a performer, you've got to relive those moments. Memories crash through your brains, and you've got to think about your past and the reason why you wrote the song. All that emotion comes back.
I used to write random little stupid things when I was five, but then the first song I really wrote was one called 'Fingers Crossed,' which is on SoundCloud.
I've been writing songs since my teens.
I started to write my songs when I was 15 and living in the Congo.
