Hi Roy:
This ground has been "plowed" previously... and I'm not certain anybody knows the real answer. From my point of view... it's just that most of us experience more disappointments than "events of joy"... LOL! In mentally trying to think about my little catalog... I believe the ratio is about 5 to 1 in favor of sad songs. I know that the "market" demands those upbeat, uptempo three minute wonders but I simply have to write about what I know or how I feel about a given subject.
If I could, I'd write nothing but happy songs but in reality, it's not about to happen for me. What's really strange... is that I believe I am a very well-adjusted and happy person. My financial situation is fairly secure, I have a great marriage and I get to write alot of songs... and play a little golf every now and then. What else is there in life...LOL????
Happy New Year, gang!

"Sometimes reaching a goal earlier than planned is a great achievement. It shows you have worked hard, pushed ahead and made it happen. However, sometimes reaching a goal far past your original deadline, long after you wanted to complete it, and after the accolades you might once have gotten for the achievement are over, it is an even greater achievement. This shows you never gave up, due to adversity, deficit, criticism and those little life detours that end many dreams and goals. In many ways, this is a reason for even more pride!" -Brian Austin Whitney
