It's not that i have resisted songwriting, it's just not something i felt i have had to do. i've just not woken up and thought, i must do this. but i have often heard music that i have instantly felt 'i have to sing that song'

Somebody/ anybody sing a black girl's song bring her out to know herself to know you but sing her rhythms carin/ struggle/ hard times sing her song of life she's been dead so long closed in silence so long she doesn't know the sound of her own voice her infinite beauty she's half-notes scattered without rhythm/ no tune sing her sighs sing the song of her possibilities sing a righteous gospel let her be born let her be born & handled warmly.
Girl Song Struggle
The song that i will sing is an old song, so old that none knows who made it. it has been handed down through generations and was taught to me when i was but a little lad. it is now my own song. it belongs to me. this is a holy song (medicine-song), and great is its power. the song tells how, as i sing, i go through the air to a holy place where yusun (the supreme being) will give me power to do wonderful things. i am surrounded by little clouds, and as i go through the air i change, becoming spirit only.

I always try to write a song, i never just want to write a record. originally i was not writing songs for myself. ....and i can say this, most of the people who have recorded my songs are songwriters themselves. ... even if i don't release it myself, somebody else might hear it and want to record it. when you write a song, it gives it that potential. when you write a song, a song has longevity. ... so i wanted to sing inspirational music, and that's exactly how i approached it-only the words have been changed to declare my relationship with god. songwriting is my gift from god.
Song Writing People
Someone once asked me why people sing. i answered that they sing for many of the same reasons the birds sing. they sing for a mate, to claim their territory, or simply to give voice to the delight of being alive in the midst of a beautiful day. perhaps more than the birds do, humans hold a grudge. they sing to complain of how grievously they have been wronged, and how to avoid it in the future. they sing to help themselves execute a job of work. they sing so the subsequent generations won’t forget what the current generation endured, or dreamed, or delighted in.

Before this century shall run out, journalism will be the whole press. mankind will write their book day by day, hour by hour, page by page. thought will spread abroad with the rapidity of light--instantly conceived, instantly written, instantly understood at the extremities of the earth.
Running Book Writing
'something more' is a song that i wrote not necessarily about country radio, more so about a lot of songs that were being pitched to me. i wrote that after song after song after song was just the same song, just a different melody, so i was just looking for something more to put on the record.
