Interview: Band of the Week - The Bittersweets - Page 4

Part of: Band of the Week

Do you have aspirations to have a wife and family someday?

I’m a very in the moment person. I tend to live very in the moment. I think because of that I don’t really think about the future that much. I’m just kind of living in the now thing. This is great I love what I’m doing right now as I’m doing it.

So, that in the moment thing, does that effect your song-writing as well?

Yeah, you’re absolutely right, that’s exactly how I write songs. A lot of people will sit down and stew over their songs, edit them, and change things here and change things there. I’m very in the moment, but also a subconscious writer. Meaning I don’t sit back and think through lyrics a lot when I write, I just go with what’s coming to me. I might sit down and write the music, write the tune that’s in my head but not write words to it which is pretty common for me. And it will just stick with me for awhile and someday I’ll just start humming it again and I’ll sit down and pour through the whole thing.

Where do you see yourself and your music in five years?

You’re asking me a future question and I just told I’m an in the moment person. (laughs) I really don’t define success as having some huge band, playing arenas or anything like that. I would just love to have a solid group of people who want to hear the music, who want to listen to the music. The goal I guess is to get the music in front of as many ears as possible.
