As time goes by, I realize that I do trust the wind. And I often write my songs for myself.

The speaker frames artistic life as a gradual surrender to uncertainty. “Trust the wind” suggests accepting forces you can’t control—audience response, career turns, inspiration itself—and learning to move with them rather than resist. The second sentence grounds that philosophy in craft: writing “for myself” implies an inward compass, where authenticity and personal necessity precede market calculation. Together, the lines argue that maturity as a songwriter comes from both faith (letting the unpredictable carry you) and integrity (making work that first satisfies the maker). The quote also hints that self-addressed songs can paradoxically become most universal, because they originate in honest private experience.
