    Brett James Cornelius's Quotes

    • “The challenge of being a songwriter is finding new ways to say something, even when there are only so many words that rhyme with ‘love.’ Every day, it’s about trying to create something no one has ever heard before.”

    • “One of the unspoken rules in songwriting is to dare to suck. You can’t be afraid to throw out any idea—because even if it’s not great, it might spark something amazing in someone else.”

    • “All you can do is show up every day and give your best. I always bring my best ideas into the room, because that’s part of the responsibility—putting everything you have into each song.”

    • “Sometimes you write a song in an ordinary room on an ordinary day, and through the right artist and the right moment, it grows into something so much bigger. That’s when a song starts to truly mean something to people.”
