It's our God forsaken right to be loved, loved, loved.

I meet people every single day who have heard the music and incorporated it into their lives. I feel like I have a tribe all around the world.

When you play a smaller, more intimate venue, you can have real conversations with your audience, take risks, and stay current. You can also change the set list, on how the day feels or how the audience reacts. When you do arena shows, every arena looks and feels the same. You can't see who is in the room.

But you are beautiful And you better go show it So go look again You gotta be true to your own If you really wanna go to the top Do you really wanna win Don’t believe in leaving normal Just to satisfy demand ((Beauty in Ugly))

I feel like I write the same album every time but each time I try to convey the message more simply.

I try not to write songs. I would rather emote them, and I found myself going back to my room every night while on my trip, just pouring out new songs and new stories about what I was seeing, what I was feeling.

I love the sound of the wind in the trees and the song of the birds and the shuffle in the leaves of my many woodland friends.
