I like to remind myself that everything is meaningless.
I know for sure that nothing matters.
The only reason I would write a break-up song is because my own problem of allowing myself to relate to people.
The word "theatrical" makes me cringe, because it suggests a performance is staged, put on, rehearsed. And while all this is true for an opera, I believe the act of singing and performing should always be honest, raw, guttural.
I don't find much influence in opera. It was such a different part of me.
