Some wonder why I always write long songs. Original songs that are over 7 minutes or a little longer. Well the thing is, I can’t help it. I guess that’s what I get for listening to bands that write songs pretty long with such bands as Led Zeppelin, Hendrix, The Doors, Dream Theater, Allman Bros., etc. I try to write shorters songs sometimes but a lot of times I can’t help myself write long songs ’cause I get that by listening to a lot of music that inspired me.

When I start writing new songs again, I’ll probably continue to write long songs. Probably because I write a lot of lyrics to the songs and I like to jam a lot. Ya know, improvise. If you seen a live show of mine, you would see how I would play.

In my mind, a song will end whenever they feel like ending. If you’re the kind of songwriter who predicts ahead of time of how long a song should be then you’re doing it wrong, in my opinion. You should never predict how long a song should be. Just play whatever comes out. My songs are pretty long ’cause I listen to a lot of jam rock music. That’s where I get it from.

Writing long songs is how I write.
