What's the most inspiring season of the year to write music?
For me it’s the winter. It takes so much energy to overcome the cold and go anywhere, so more often than in other seasons, I'll stay at home and let my imagination run loose.
Here, it stays dark for so long too. Something about that darkness makes me think more existentially. With only 8 hours of daylight a day, life seems so much shorter, so reflections of love, God, death & grief seem heavier and come more frequently. And those meanderings are where a lot of my songs come from.
Thanks for the question!
