God Has Saved Me A Million Times,

Feeling Like You're Respected Among The People Who Do The Same Thing You Do Is Incredible And Necessary.

I Learned That There's No Reason Why People Decide They Like Music When They Do.

When I Was Very Young I Was Sort Of Floored By The Fact That My Mother And My Father And Everyone I Knew Was Going To Die One Day, And Myself Too. I Had A Sort Of A Philosophical Crisis. I Couldn't Believe That We Were Mortal.

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.
