"A lot of people think that songwriting is about self expression. For me it is about affecting people. So if a line like "She broke my heart" affects people, one way or another, then it is a good line, whether or not my heart was broken. In other words, I will choose words that I think will affect people regardless of whether they are "true" or not - keeping in mind that people generally believe lyrics to be true (especially those sung by acoustic musicians).The fact that I'm not always writing "from the heart" perhaps allows me to be more prolific. That being said, however, I can point to certain songs I've written and tell you who or what inspired them." -Marcellus Hall
