If you can't be psyched about your own thoughts, then how are you supposed to have a meaningful interaction with anyone?
Angel OlsenI just want to scream: "I'm being honest, I swear!" Maybe it's embarrassing, but I don't care anymore.
Angel OlsenI don't believe people when they say their songs have nothing to do with their personal life.
Angel OlsenMy 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.
Angel OlsenIn high school I was in a band called Goodfight, but it was more me running around on stage. It was very punk inspired. Then I started to get into indie-rock and older music and decided I wanted to write my own stuff. I quit the band. Around 16 or 17, I started recording myself at home on keyboard and piano.
Angel OlsenI 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!
