I'm very uncomfortable in my own skin.
Social situations, for me - it's very natural for me to be an observer. That's where I'm most comfortable. I observe things.
My backstory is so tedious.
In order to get a note out, I have to dig deep, and I mean that on an emotional level. To physically sing, I have to get somewhere deep before I can do it.
Well... you know, I love motorcycles. They're just beautiful, and there's a certain craftsmanship in older bikes, older Triumphs or BSAs or Norton. I'm just very attracted to it.
