song dark might
I feel the reasons my songs might seem dark is because of how I viewed the situations I was in and it was just something I always felt like documenting.
couple heart play
You play a couple of shows, and these label guys come - and they leave halfway through a show. Then the phone calls just stop. And your heart is broken.
attention deficit distracted
I don't know if I'm attention deficit, but I certainly am easily distracted by other things.
aspect certain function
I don't function well in certain aspects of society, and you can read into that what you will.
sleep thinking honest
Music is really everything I know. To be honest every experience I've ever had has been brought up from music and everything I do is because of music. I don't know anything else, I think about music before I go to sleep and it just really is everything that I am.
water quiet grew
I grew up in a place called Malahide, which is by the water and is beautifully quiet, leafy, and part serene.
memories children tape
I have some vivid memories of walking around as a child with a cassette tape.
I like what I like, I don't like what I don't like, and I'm very bad at toning myself down.
growing-up thinking car
I think sitting in the car with your parents and listening to music is an essential to growing up.
ambitious want mediocre
I'm very ambitious, musically - I want to create great things, not mediocre work.
together natural feels
With music, it feels natural that, in my head, I can pull things apart and then put them back together very quickly.
hands needs sometimes
Sometimes my hands they don’t feel like my own; I need someone to love, I need someone to hold.
car country enjoyed forward itself listening looking music remember
I remember always looking forward to listening to country music in the car with my mother, and it wasn't even something I enjoyed in the sense of music, but just being around music itself was enough.
home learned listened normally singers stayed three
I just essentially stayed at home for three years and just learned to play as many instruments as I could and listened to as many singers as I could. Like, when I got to about 19/20, I started listening to singers. I normally just listened to bands. Now I listen to a lot of old singers, not a lot of new stuff.
