Trying to put music out there in the world is a pretty exciting, yet terrifying, thing and I've just been through the ringer.

The world's pretty trippy. I just like to travel around and see what's out there.

I've always found it pretty difficult to write a happy song.

For whatever reason, the success still blows my mind - that I'm able to talk to people about the music I've written. I always felt like there was something there because you don't put out music unless you have a sense that people will maybe like what you're doing or you're standing for something artistically. I don't mess with that. It's more about just music and trying to keep the integrity, I guess.

Look, one of the things that I know for sure is that none of us truly knows. That's it. It'll hit you later.

Since I was a kid, when I pick up my guitar it's been hard for me to write some sort of bubblegum lyrics. It's not really ever been my route.

I ran away for a couple years just to prove I've hever been free.
