So, HP has a new interview with NY Mag and they are already starting to ask The Question: “Why So Angsty Sonnnn?”
http://nymag.com/daily/entertainment/2009/11/kris_allen_on_his_new_album.html
Most of the songs on the album are about breakups or troubled relationships. Why?
Yeah, it’s funny. When you write an album and you’re writing about relationships, the stuff that I’ve been through in my relationships, 99 percent of it is really good, but it’s that one percent that always inspires you to write a song. It’s easy to write a song about the hard times you’re going through. It’s harder to write a song about the good times. So that’s why some of those songs are about the hard times in a relationship.

…then again, my
pointed out the plurality in “relationships” so I’m good.

ETA: Heather sums it up:


















There was alott angst in BNS too, probably stems from his “on again off again” relationship he’d had with
for over 7 years until they tied the knot.
I HAVE WRITTEN A LENGTHY EXPLANATION ON THE WHOLE THING SO THE ONLY THING THAT I CAN SAY ABOUT THE WHOLE INTERIEW CAN BE SUMMED UP IN THREE WORDS:
DUN DUN DUNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN!!!!!!!
I have my
on too!
But considering his relationship with HH has only been 1 year (less if you count the months it really was a “relationship”), then his relationship with HH compared to GF’s 7 years, is about the 1% that he’s talking about!
But he’s gotta have a “good” answer for the press, so good job, HP! Let HH give you a big ol’ hug!
Farah, I haven’t seen your take on this, I wonder if it matches mine? Because, actually, JC, what I hear is that once again HP passed up an opportunity to specifically mention his wife or their marriage, or their very long-term relationship.
Not that I really expect a songwriter to be specific about where a song comes from, I’m just saying that it’s odd that he NEVER mentions their relationship or marriage specifically.
He keeps it vague, because as your tag informs us, Twinks can’t lie.
Eye contact. Moments. Relationships.
Oh, very good, wife. I had forgotten that interview. Eye contact, moments, relationships, indeed.
HP ,just like HH said. It’s about love, and positivity.and there’s tub loads of it here in
MARY, GO TO PINK ELEPHANT HONEY… A BUNCH OF US CONCLUDED THE CASE THERE.
I BELIEVE IN TINHAT JUSTICE :D
Farah – sweet! I’ll be there later – I only had a few minutes this morning to jump in there and a few minutes to paddle around here on the Home Planet. Damn RL!
TINHAT JUSTICE 4EVER!!!
wait…mary…did you just top and bottom me up there?
It’s easier to write songs about his angst & longing for HH then write “happy” songs about
Song writers write from the heart and HH is deep within HP’s heart…what’s a good christian/100% straight married man sposed to do? HP needed a safe outlet to express his feelings.
Why, yes I did, Ravageme dear. And, look, I enjoyed it so much, I’m doing it again! *giggles madly*
Oooh, looks like Imarie wanted in on the action. JUST missed my second double of the day – oh, well.
I love Heather’s macros always!
Wow, very Candid HP!! I love your honesty.
I must qualify with meaning the label stuff/no boundaries/Kayne stuff.
Guises, but srsly!! Do majority of u honestly and I mean ‘HONESTLY’ believe that
is really
?
I’m srsly curious.
*Guise (JFC!LOL!!) Now plz try and take the question srsly!
