I like to write sad songs. They're much easier to write and you get a lot more emotion into them. But people don't want to hear them as much. And radio definitely doesn't they want that positive, uptempo thing.

I mean, my voice has gotten a little deeper sounding as I've gotten older, I think. I noticed that.
