“When I have just sat down and tried to write the lyrics of a song, usually about half of it sounds like bullshit. I just have to go away from something and come back to it again later. I do a lot of editing and switching around and putting little pieces together to get the right mood and personality, and it takes me forever to get a song finished.” WritingLittlesTogetherSongSoundHalfForeverPiecesPersonalityDown AndFinishedMoodSatGoing AwayTake MeBullshitEditingSwitching Author:Matt Berninger
“The reason I've gotten into script-writing, which was accidental to begin with, was that I found it was a far more effective medium for violence. Which is something that I'd always written in songs, but the violence always sat strangely within a song. And I was always interested in the way in which you listen to murder ballads and things like that - these weird lines would kind of come out, like, I drug her by the hair or something - that sat weirdly in the song. Film seems to be a medium designed for betrayal and violence.” WayWritingKindReasonSeemsFilmSongFoundLinesViolenceWrittenHairDrugMurderScriptsBetrayalMediumsSatBallads Author:Nick Cave
