Writing songs is super intimate. It's a bit like getting naked.
I think when you're writing songs, it's impossible to not draw on personal experiences, whether it be traveling or girls, or anything.
I'm enjoying writing songs that are more stripped back.
My other advice is to start writing songs and singing right away.
I don't separate writing songs from poetry and short fiction. In the area where I work in my house, there's a word processor and a guitar.
Writing songs has always been hard and easy. It's not always easy when you want it to be, and then sometimes it's just like turning on the faucet. That's just the nature of it.
