I Think Often Sadness Is A Great

I Was Raised With A Mother Who Told Me That I Wouldn't Succeed, That I Wasn't Good Enough. Even At The Pinnacle Of My Success, She'd Come To A Show, And There'd Be, Like, 10,000 People Screaming. And She'd Say, "i Just Don't Get It." I Think She Had So Little Faith In Herself And Her Abilities As A Parent That She Couldn't Imagine Any Offspring Of Hers Could Do So Well. And All That Did Was Drive Me To Push Back. If Someone Says, "you Can't Do This," I'm Like, "f-ck You! Oh, Yes I Can, And I Will."

I Think One Of The Most Important Things, That This Album Is For Me, And This Period In My Life, Is About Gratitude. About Recognizing All Of The Things, Daily, That I'm Grateful For, And There Are Many In My Life. I'm Just So Blessed, And I Try To Carry That With Me Every Day.

It's Easier To Believe In This Sweet Madness, Oh This Glorious Sadness, That Brings Me To My Knees.

I Don't Tend To Question Things That Much. If It Feels Right, I Go For It.

In The Arms Of The Angel, Fly Away From Here....you Are Pulled From The Wreckage, Of Your Silent Reverie, You're In The Arms Of The Angel, May You Find Some Comfort Here.
