Hi Roy I think Marc really nailed the point perfectly,about the car. I feel that when we are happy in general we just use the time to "enjoy it" When we are down we "reflect" about it a lot more. Hey keep thinking and thinking and feeling badly about something, and even a non song-writer will write that stuff down  Bad,sad and angry gets a bigger rise out of human beings. From a creative and songwriting stand point: If I as a stranger walk up to you and say "Hi, Happy Holidays, take care" you may forget about me later that day or by tomorrow. If I walk up call you "Biotch" than slap you across the face you'll NEVER forget me lol... Seems a bit extreme I know, but aren't personal feelings of HURT seem very real and extreme when we are in them? A breakup, a loss of a loved one, seeing others in pain or un happy etc.... You bet they are! As we develop as songwriters we start to be able to broaden our songs. Usually at the start of our writing we write heartbreak songs only, and love songs in general. Then we later still write about heartbreak and love but put it in a different way, then we did when we started writing. We grow so that we disguise our love songs better Also we think and write about other things as we develop the gift of using words in a song. My wife a long long time ago heard one of my songs and said.. "Do you really mean that? Is that how you feel? did that happen to you?"
I smiled and said "No I made that all up" She said - I thought when you wrote songs they were always real. and really only about how the writer felt personally. I replied - "well they are always in a way, but no, I fabricated this whole song. If I only wrote about ME and personally, think of how boring or uneventful my songs would be to OTHERS!So right there you have broader songs and better songs, and DEFINITELY a much better chance at a hit song. Songwriters MUST use there imagination. And then they can interject some of there personality and feelings into that as well.

"First came if only? Then came what if? After that I'll bet. Next was just maybe. Followed by Aha, I thought so! And eventually, okay, what next!" -Brian Austin Whitney on the stages of creativity and Just Plain Folks.
