I got about 6037 songs I wrote myself and I'm trying to get them on the market and I just wish people could hear them and stuff but they'll do pretty good.
Normally I don't compromise at all but it felt important to give that song the chance to be heard.
Nat doing 'Fault' was the greatest thing for our band, and the only reason that our song got in it because Nat was screaming it in the movie. Now we can say that we have a song in 'Fault in Our Stars,' and we have a thousand fans who went to listen to our music because we performed at an event for 'Fault in Our Stars.'
I've always said that if you have songs on the radio and get played, you've got to have a tour to support that.
If you write a song, and you go into a restaurant, and there's a guy with a piano singing and he's playing piano, singing your song, or you hear it at a wedding or at an airport... it's fun!
If you really want a radio station to play your song, go to that radio station every day with that song in your hand and say, 'Please play it.'
When you're a songwriter, you don't have control over which songs get heard and which ones don't.
One of the benefits of success with new songs is that some of the other songs will get a chance to see the light of day whereas they wouldn't have before.
