You told me you were happier with her but you want me to stay.
Live like your always trying to impress someone
Just the fact that a thousand people in front of me were ready to hear me sing was one of the best feelings I can think of.
I promise you, if you look at YouTube and see some of my first covers, you will hear that I don't sound good. But I was so obsessed with it and wanted so much to be good at it that I forced myself to figure out what sounds right and what sounds wrong.
I like dancers. I have a thing for girls who dance.
I'm permanent you can't erase me
I work so hard to make that sure I'm successful. If you're positive and really excited and enthusiastic about what you're doing, it's going to happen, and it's going to happen big time.
True friends are never forgotten, they live within our hearts and souls.... forever , and always , dancing on our stage of memories.
I think when you have raw emotion in a song, it makes it great.
I was super-obsessed with cover videos. When I was, like, 10, I would come home from school and watch them from 4 o'clock until 8 o'clock every night. I was so intrigued that people took these super-popular songs and did them their own way.
Sometimes it all gets a little too much, but you gotta realize that soon the fog will clear up.
I feel like every time I write a song, it feels like the first time I wrote a song. It's just as hard; it doesn't get easier, but that's why I love it: because it's a challenge every time. I also feel like I'm learning new ways.
I'm all over the place with muffins. Carrots are great. Banana, chocolate chip, they rock, too.
I really love listening to Hozier. He's great.
