I get all my inspiration from events that are happening in my life. Generally my music is either self-reflective, about my thinking about major events in my life (such as the World Trade Center disaster, which many of you know affected me personally in many ways); externally-reflective, where I sort of just muse about thoughts going on in my head and try to make a song about them; and sometimes they're about girls I know (although that would probably come as a shock to most people who hear my music, as it certainly doesn't SEEM like it would). Sometimes they're just ways I express what I can't put in words. My music has always been my outlet to the world, so I find inspiration in nearly anything. A lot of times, though, I sit down and make up a song and I just sort of instinctively hit THAT note, and move down to THAT note, and touch THAT note because in the back of my mind I somehow "know" what I want to do without even consciously thinking about it.
