You probably became a musicians because you're into it so stay that way. Don't believe that someone else has the golden ticket for you because they don't.
My music is so often like a lullaby I write to myself to make sense of things I can't tie together, or things I've lost, or things I'll never have.

Sex is funny and love is serious.
That's what drew me to rock music in the first place - that sense of remaking the world on your own terms.
