I really want to kind of wear my heart on my sleeve and really say what I'm feeling because I feel like that message will go a bit further and have a better impact It's like we need that so, so badly.Īnd while I understand how despair, which there's no shortage of, can lead to nihilism and irony and how there can be some kind of enjoyment in that – it's weirdly comforting – it's not what I'm interested in. And I think we've felt that within the last year as it feels like a lot of people's grasp on the truth has waned. The only way that you can navigate the world in a way that makes any sense at all is if you have some bearing on the truth. I think that the truth has a real way of cutting to the core of like – the truth is just helpful, I think. And I would like for my creative output to be as heartfelt and as truthful as possible. And I always try to be as sincere as possible with the things that I'm saying because I really feel that I only have so much time to be around in this world and there's only so much that I can do.
So every time there's a new interpretation, or every time somebody is able to find their own meaning in the words, one, there's a bit of relief for me, but there's also a real sense of joy that this can be helpful to people. Because there are times where I find myself wondering, you know, so much of this music is about my own kind of creative blocks and creative development, I question how relatable that might be to people. Yeah! That’s one of the things that I'm happy about. Oh, I see, so it’s found new meaning in that sense, I guess? Well, actually, that might be one reason why it feels distinct from some of the platitudes that you hear during the pandemic – because it was mostly written in 2017! It wasn't really meant to be. What was it like writing a song like that at a time like this?
There’s a really distinct sincerity in your lyrics lately – you know, “look at the sky/I’m still here/I’ll be alive next year” – it breaks through the platitudes that we’re getting used to in quarantine, and as a result, I think it means something to a lot of people.
