I Just Want It To Be Timeless

I Wrote The Song "show Me" As A Prayer To God Asking Simple, Honest Questions About Life And Death And Why There Is So Much Suffering In The World. As I Grew With The Song I Realized I Shouldn't Limit These Questions Solely To God; I Should Ask Those Questions Of Others And Of Myself.

There's So Much Music Out There, And So Many Different Styles That I've Been Influenced By, So Each Album Reflects Some Of That Knowledge Or Influence That I've Had.

I Hear Melodies And Hooks All Day. I've Always Been That Way, Since I Was A Kid.

I Have A Structured Songwriting Process. I Start With The Music And Try To Come Up With Musical Ideas, Then The Melody, Then The Hook, And The Lyrics Come Last. Some People Start With The Lyrics First Because They Know What They Want To Talk About And They Just Write A Whole Bunch Of Lyrical Ideas, But For Me The Music Tells Me What To Talk About.

I Would Tell Myself, "love Yourself And Don't Be Afraid To Take Risks." I Was Often Afraid To Take Risks, Socially, Because I Was Young And A Little More Shy And Still Figuring Out Who I Wanted To Be. Sometimes I Look Back And Think, "i Should Have Just Been Bolder And More Confident."
