people want common
People should know each other because they want to, because they have things in common.
people feels
I feel really good about the future and working with people.
crazy people ask-me
A lot of people ask me if I'm OK. I'm capable of crazy - a lot of people are - but I'm OK.
song believe people
I don't believe people when they say their songs have nothing to do with their personal life.
interesting people different
People are buying more vinyl now than they did in the late '90s or 2000s. I like having different mediums of the record. It's always interesting to see how the tapes end up looking because they are so tiny.
people grace lucky
My first ever tour of my music was in the Netherlands. I didn't really have a grace period to grow or anything; people just started booking for me. I feel pretty lucky.
people
It's a bit of a weird thing to know that (my music) has translated to that many people.
song writing people
I enjoy singing the songs a certain way, but I don't even know how the writing even began. To me, it's work that is kind of invisible; it's a weird kind of work to have because you're not working, but it's not not work. Formulating your thoughts and making a melody that's catchy enough for people to listen to what you're saying is really hard!
responsibility people want
When people disappoint you, it's just as much your responsibility to be aware of it and what you don't want.
dreams others share spent taking time
'Sweet Dreams' is such a dark-sounding song, but it's about not taking anything for granted; share yourself with others after you have first spent some time with yourself.
thinking parent age
I was adopted legally around age three, but it's not like this thing I think about when I wake up every day. I was adopted by my foster parents, so I was comfortable with them. I wasn't in this alien place.
song thinking adoption
My family life, my adoption - it could be related to the songs, but I think the songs are deeper than that. They're not just about this experience.
song writing mind
I've been writing a lot of songs in twos, songs that are like twins in my mind.
mother brother crazy
The family that raised me are awesome people and they are my mother and my father and my brother and my sister. I've never viewed them as these "strangers" that took over. It's never been this crazy, dramatic, Lifetime-movie situation. It's been chill.
