POETRY IN<br />
HER WORDS<br />
For Julie Anne, the pen is<br />
what a brush is to a painter—a<br />
tool for her to pour out her<br />
emotions. But like emotions go,<br />
they can’t be explained point<br />
blank.<br />
“When I write, it takes a lot of<br />
time and effort. Minsan, I can’t<br />
even write at all. And it’s normal.<br />
Whenever I feel the words<br />
coming in, I just write it down<br />
or type it in. They’re not even<br />
songs yet. Just strings of words,<br />
and that’s where it starts,” she<br />
explains about her writing<br />
process.<br />

More than the songs she<br />
composes and the way she<br />
performs, Julie Anne is both<br />
art and artist—her songs are<br />
written from experience, her<br />
compositions are drawn from<br />
emotion.<br />
“When I think of a melody, I<br />
record it and get back to it<br />
when I can. I’m that kind of<br />
writer — I think of the melody<br />
and lyrics almost at the same<br />
time. Sometimes, words come<br />
first. Sometimes, the tune. Pero<br />
if nakaharap ako sa piano or<br />
if I have my guitar with me,<br />
everything becomes a blur. That’s<br />
when I’m in my zone,” she adds.<br />
