hello friends,
so i was just thinking today about why i play music, why music is important to me, and what i'm trying to accomplish by playing music. sometimes, you get into a routine and you're driven towards a goal and you lose sight of why you're doing what you're doing. these last 2-3 years have been amazing. i've been able to tour the country, record albums, meet cool ppl, and just do what i love. but, when i started doing this i had a true mission. i wanted to connect with people. high school was a very confusing time. i think it is for everyone. when your parents loosen the reigns and you need to start thinking for yourself, you can think yourself in circles. but, for me music always had a good way of making me feel okay with not feeling okay. guys like elliot smith, dave matthews, john mayer...i always felt like no matter how lost i was, their songs told stories about how lost they are/were. maybe it's just comfort in numbers. maybe it's just feeling normal in your dizzying journey you're on. but, if i can write songs where people go "oh wow, i feel the same way" then i think i've done my job as a musician and writer. the new album i just wrote really feels like me. it's the first album i've written that feels like me. when you guys hear it, i hope we can have some sort of zen friendship sort of thing. but, anyway..see you guys soon.
