You will not catch Jack White taking a web page out of Taylor Swift‘s playbook with regards to songwriting … as a result of the White Stripes frontman says penning songs about breakups is a complete snooze.
Jack sat down for an interview with The Guardian over the weekend and threw slightly shade Taylor’s manner … saying the pattern of pop stars writing songs about their public breakups — “in the Taylor Swift way” — simply doesn’t curiosity him.
He added he finds it “a little boring” to write down about himself — even when he had an attention-grabbing day — as a result of he’s already lived it and has no need to relive it once more.
However there is a catch … Jack says if he goes via one thing painful, he is not blasting it on-line for “some idiot to stomp all over.” As an alternative, he’ll channel part of that have into his music and “morph it into somebody else’s character.” Jack notes he solely actually understands himself as soon as he steps into “any individual else’s sneakers.”
After headlines unfold on-line, Jack hopped on Instagram to make clear his remarks — saying he by no means referred to as Taylor Swift’s music “boring.”
He defined what he meant was that he doesn’t “find it interesting at all for ME to write about MYSELF in my own lyric writing and poetry,” including he feels it might turn out to be repetitive and uninteresting for listeners. As an alternative, he says writing via imaginary characters is way extra interesting to him as a songwriter.
After all, Taylor’s constructed an empire doing the other … famously turning previous relationships with guys like Joe Jonas, John Mayer, Harry Kinds, and Jake Gyllenhaal into hit songs.
