And If There Is A Way To

For Many Years, I Shut Down That Place Inside Myself That Needed To Rage, Cry, Ask Questions And Basically Just Express Herself. I Made A Conscious Choice When I Put (the Song) 'me And A Gun' On The Record Not To Stay A Victim Anymore.

I'm Not Very Social When I'm Off The Promo Trail, Because I Step Into Wife And Mother Mode. It's Very Reclusive.

Over The Last Few Hours I've Allowed Myself To Feel Defeated, And Just Like She Said If You Allow Yourself To Feel The Way You Really Feel, Maybe You Won't Be Afraid Of That Feeling Anymore.

I Think Everyone Understands Grief, The Journey It Takes Us On, Whether It's The Death Of A Loved One, The End Of A Relationship, A Disappointment. Some People Don't Deal With It, The Power Of It. Some Do. Some Feel The Weight Of It And It Informs Their Choices. I've Had To Open Up To Grief In Different Contexts.

I Think Doing Variations On A Classical Theme Is A Dangerous Thing To Do.
