The reason I wanted to change my songwriting direction to a more positive/family friendly direction ’cause I didn’t want to be too obsessed with writing dark and controversial songs. I really wanted to cut back on this stuff and kind of wanted to try something different, ya know? I grew tired of writing dark songs. I wanted to see what kind of reaction I get with the positive songs. I don’t want to get too obsessed with writing dark songs or else people are gonna start accusing me of being satanic, hating god, and life. You get the deal, right? Sometimes my dark material were pretty questionable and people have asked me about them. Do you think it was easy for Black Sabbath to get accepted? No way. Back in the day, Black Sabbath w/Ozzy struggled to get recognition and fame ’cause they scared the shit out of everyone with their music. It took them YEARS for them to be finally accepted in the music industry.

I could continue to write dark songs if I wanted to but I was afraid that people would see me in a wrong way, you know what I mean? Maybe writing dark songs won’t be a problem. Sometimes controversy helps get you more recognition. If the dark songs is what helped me get heard more musically, then maybe I will continue to write dark songs. I will continue to write positive songs too, I’ll mix it up.

Most of my dark songs are purely fictional anyway. They were just horror stories told by song. “Evil Fred” wasn’t the only horror story in a song. There were several others: “The Boneyard”, “The Nightmare Has Begun Today”, and maybe some others I can’t think of them right now.

For now, I just wanna focus on more positive songs.
