bit confirmed hard move people quite reminded somewhere unusually
It is quite hard to relax in London. I always say I'd move somewhere quieter, but I am a bit of a confirmed urbanite now - it crept up on me without me noticing. I always think that I function quite well on my own, unusually so, but then I'm reminded how important people are to me.

I'd like to make music for as long as I can; it feels like something I need to do.

I think your most intimate thoughts are only honest when they're in your head.

I know how ridiculous this sounds because of the job I do but I don't believe in romanticism and make-believe.
song writing sometimes
I feel sometimes that I'm in a constant state of being lost in translation, and I guess that why I write songs.
emotion triggers situation
I feel like I'm creeping closer to finding the situation that triggers songwriting, which is obviously an extreme of an emotion.
giving let-me-go take-me
Take me somewhere I can grow Give me something let me go Tell me something I don't know
