“It's funny when you write a song - it's easy for me now - but there's almost a second stage where you take control of the song. You start writing it, and if you're not careful, it just finishes itself and it might not be what you wanted. It's very strange, it takes over itself. It has its own life.” IfsWritingMightWantedSongEasyStageStrangeCarefulOver ItTake Control Author:Kate Bush
“You don’t need help to write a song. You just need to get over this experience that bummed you out so bad.

“I'm really passionate about the song Sky Spills Over. It was fun creating it in the studio and I've been overwhelmed at the response it gets when we perform it live every night. My son Ryan is a really talented filmmaker so I always enjoy working with him on a project. But what made this project even more special was that 3 of my own grandkids were in the video. This video was a lot of fun to make. I hope people enjoy it!” PeopleMadeNightSongFunEnjoyMy OwnSkySpecialSonProjectsCreatingResponsePassionateStudiosVideoFilmmakerOver ItMy SonEvery NightOverwhelmedSpillsGrandkids Author:Michael W.
