And I don't think that success is going to destroy me at this point in my life, like I used to think.
Work ... is redemption.
I was sensitive to music and poetry, and it was around me growing up.
I don't do comparisons because I always lose.
As I started writing about loss and grief, I was taking what felt unmanageable and using my songwriting, my sense of poetry and discipline, to try and make it manageable.
Isn't that the goal, as you grow older? That you start reclaiming those parts of yourself you didn't recognize or didn't think were there all along? That's what happened when I made The River and the Thread record.
