trying prove capable
I'm not trying to prove that I'm capable of doing many things.
firsts share
Share yourself with others after you have first spent some time with yourself.
writing character way
I guess that in a lot of ways, my writing is more of a character to me than something that I feel personally attached to.
live-your-life want albums
In the music industry, it's pretty easy to make an album just because you want to keep going, like, 'This is the formula.' But the formula is your life. You have to live your life and you have to live it well-that's the formula.
brain might way
Go and experience life the way that someone else might experience it. Maybe you'll find meaning in a different corner of your brain. The fact that it changed doesn't negate the fact that it ever mattered.
song fun singing
I learned how to be more theatrical and have more fun, and to take a song and sing it over and over again in different ways, and make it different each time. I'm not just singing the song - it's this thing that's affecting me.
song writing mind
I've been writing a lot of songs in twos, songs that are like twins in my mind.
mother brother crazy
The family that raised me are awesome people and they are my mother and my father and my brother and my sister. I've never viewed them as these "strangers" that took over. It's never been this crazy, dramatic, Lifetime-movie situation. It's been chill.
mother girlfriend father
You get to a certain age and it really occurs to you: "My mother and my father will not always be here. My spouse or my girlfriend or boyfriend are here right now, but someday they won't be." You realize that you need to like yourself.
song thinking adoption
My family life, my adoption - it could be related to the songs, but I think the songs are deeper than that. They're not just about this experience.
song thinking guitar
I'd rather people interpret the songs and get whatever they can out of them instead of thinking about me crying in a room with a guitar.
