I can only write if I can't sleep, tunes come naturally.
Creativity
I have the most inspiration when i'm relaxed and not scared about the future
this brings up a good point. what sort of states of being are the best for creativity? sadness, stress, happiness, anxiety, etc?
The ones that draw other people to your music
see, if I am too relaxed I never get anything done. I need deadlines.
seems a bit vague...
as I said for me it's relaxation with my life and future, that feeling of knowing everything is gonna be alright. It brings a lot of happines aswell and just makes music flows in the right direction. I guess this state also brings me a lot of confidence and that helps.
stress and anxiety makes me the opposite of creative and sadness can sometimes work for me but i don't feel true sadness very often.
I'm sure it's different for each person though
What I mean is that the state of being doesn't really matter. If you write a great song, you write a great song. And maybe, it just so happens you felt on top of the world that day, or felt like drowning in a bathtub.
If that's true I'm sorry to hear that

Most of the time it comes from talking to other people, a lot of the time they can give you a different perspective you couldn't have come up with on your own.
Or by thinking about your own shit and how you could translate it into a song or a drawing or whatever.
Weed works too, but not always.
