Life Is A Velvet Crowbar Hitting You

I Entered A Songwriting Competition, I Didn't Win, And One Of The Judges On The Panel Was An A&r Man At A Record Label That Had No Other Acts And I Signed To Them. We Sent My Demo Out To Five People And David Kahne Got Back To Me That Day, And Said I Think You're Amazing I Want To Start With You Tomorrow. He Was Like My Harvard Reach School, I Couldn't Believe It. I Was Really Excited. It Was The First Time Anyone Of Any Importance Said I Was Good And I Ran With That Validation For A Long Time.

When I Was Young I Felt Really Overwhelmed And Confused By The Desire Not To End Up In An Office, Doing Something I Didn't Believe In.

When I Was Younger I Felt Lonely... In Terms Of My Thought Processes. I Had The Constant Feeling That I Thought Differently To Everyone Around Me. So, I Suppose I Felt Lonely For A Home. I Didn't Know Where I Wanted To Be, But I Knew I Wasn't There Yet.

I Want To Stay Hopeful, Even Though I Get Scared About Why We're Even Alive At All.

I Don't Even Do Anything In Real Life. I Just Sit In My Studio And Write, I Call My Friends, I Watch Television. I Don't Do Anything.
