hard home tend
When I'm not working is when I tend to freak out a bit. It's hard for me to just stay home.
sticker traded
I had a huge Lisa Frank sticker collection. I traded them.
solo
Rilo Kiley was a rock band, so I wanted my solo records to feel different.
kinda looks shining
It's kinda creepy, right? I think it looks like The Shining .
dudes hey love
Hey dudes ... this is a love song.
crowd girls hopefully impact maybe music prove trying women work
For me personally, I just try to prove myself in my work. I'm just trying to get better at what I do, and hopefully that will impact women in music, and hopefully the girls in the crowd will see my up there as a bandleader and think, 'Wow, maybe I can do that one day.'
specific trying
I'm not trying to repeat myself or cater myself to one specific group of people.
takes
I think it's always an adjustment for me, but I do feel like, ultimately, I can kind of write anywhere. It just takes a second to get back in to the groove.
actual massive means ticket
I think the idea of opening up for a massive band is always better than actually doing it, and having your name on the ticket means more than the actual set.
aside bit cynical elements expression god hope putting realize references sort surprised thinking
I was kind of surprised after making the record, like, 'Wow, there are a lot of god references here!' I didn't realize I was thinking about that so much. There are a lot of cynical elements to these songs, and there's sort of the expression of dissatisfaction ? but not without hope at the end. It's about putting all that aside and having a little bit of faith.
forces gone grieving includes lose might wonder
Certainly, we all wonder what is beyond, and when you lose a loved one, I think part of the grieving process includes where that person might have gone or if you'll ever see them again. I think it forces you to look up to the sky, to the cosmos.
faux people travel
I wouldn't call it a faux pas, but I have about 12 tracksuits. I always travel in a tracksuit. I feel it makes people happy when they see me.
creepy rather slightly
It would be nice to create something that's healing rather than slightly creepy and darkly judgmental!
anyone capture piece sit trying
When I sit down to write a song, there is no filter. I'm not trying to write for anyone or anything specifically. It's just trying to capture a little piece of your soul - even if it's a really ugly part.
