My Parents Told Me I Must Get

I Don't Leave My Neighborhood. I Don't Go Anywhere. There Are Four Blocks I Live In And There Are Two Coffee Shops, One At Each End Of The Block... So I Don't Do Much Driving... Some People Would Say They Never See Me Because I Don't Go Anywhere. I Stay In The Blue State Of Nashville, In My Bubble.

I Drink A Lot, Probably Too Much. My Scene While Writing Lyrics Is Always A Bottle Of Scotch And Stacks Of Note Cards, Pencil And Pencil Sharpener. I Throw Around Note Cards And Drink.

Everything I Write Is Personal, Really. Even When I'm Sarcastic, It's Quite Personal. And On This Record, From The Production To The Singing To The Performances, I Got It Really Honest. To The Modern Ear, It Seems Soft. When You Hear It Against Other Things, It Seems Vulnerable. Lyrically And Musically, Though, This Is More Subtle. And, Yes, It's Asking A Lot Of Someone Who's Used To Being Hit Over The Head With Bright Neon To Listen To This.

I'm Aware That I'm Very Fringe, And It's Nice That Way.

Everyone, When You're A Teenager And You're Growing Up, You Do Feel Like Your Life Is Dramatic Enough To Be On A Tv Screen, But We Know That It's Not.
