All the broken hearts in the world still beat

Music to me is something that I didn't choose; it was a necessity. I grew up with music, my father is a musician. It makes me happy; it makes people happy.

Everybody, everybody wants to be loved

Kids can be cruel enough as it is, but cyber bullying or you're on Instagram and see your friends are all somewhere and you're not there. Then it's like, "Why am I not there?" Girls are using apps to change the way their faces look so the look quote-unquote perfect and beautiful. I feel like kids these days, it's gotta be just a big ball of anxiety.

For as long as we can trace back human life, there's always been some sort of music - ceremonies, rituals. It's part of the human makeup.

I think just letting go is a really good thing to do in many areas of your life, songwriting included.
