Music was a good friend to me throughout this, and I do know it’s going to proceed to be. The songs had been typically written in occasions after I felt effectively sufficient to put in writing. Sometimes I used to be exhausted from these experiences and I wrote about what was on my thoughts. I used to be coping with the heavy lifting of working by trauma on the identical time. These songs had been a results of these experiences. When I hear them, I feel that possibly I put extra of myself into these songs than I’ve into some other album. I’m glad to listen to that now. It feels very very like it captured my emotional panorama within the final two years.
