Quote by Nate Ruess
As a songwriter I hate this whole, 'If it's a sad song, it has to sound like a sad song thing.' And that goes all the way back to my days with the Format. I'm an insane narcissist, so if I have to get something off my chest, I'll get something off my chest.
Summary
This quote expresses the songwriter's frustration with the notion that sad songs must necessarily have a specific musical style or sound. They reject this idea and reflect on their experience in the past, stating that their need for creative expression outweighs the convention of making sad songs sound sad. In fact, their songwriting process is driven by a sense of personal catharsis, embracing authenticity over the expectation of conforming to a specific genre or mood.
