Being In The Studio Is Like Painting,

I Was Angry At My Parents When I Had To Have Brain Surgery, That They Weren't Still Around, Because No Matter How Old You Are You Want You Parents When You're Going Through Something Like That.

And I Kind Of Said To Myself If I Get My Voice Back I'm Not Going To Take Back The Old Anxiety About It And Just Focus On The Limitations. I'm Really Going To Enjoy It.

As I Started Writing About Loss And Grief, I Was Taking What Felt Unmanageable And Using My Songwriting, My Sense Of Poetry And Discipline, To Try And Make It Manageable.

There's Always That Moment When You Realize What It's Going To Be. You Might Have An Overarching Theme And You Need To Fill In The Blanks - And Then There's This "aha" Moment When You See Where It's Going. That's The Most Satisfying Part Of Writing.

When My Dad Died A Lot Of Songs Came, And They're Still Coming.
