- I am an author and songwriter. My ears are always tuned in to what people are saying. One day, I heard a fascinating subject. It was about what a man is supposed to be. An example would be, a man is supposed to be brave, a man should not show pain, a man should not cry, and so on and so on. A few days had gone by, and I could not stop thinking about it. When that usually happens, I write a song about it.more
