SOFT SOUNDS

at the edge of the blackness, when you're stretched to the core, catch hold of the madness. sometimes we all lose strength. please don't lose your faith in me. *previously lightweights*

I think if I can go back and tell myself one thing, as a thirteen-year-old, I think I would go back and tell myself that everything’s that’s going to happen to me —even the bad things — are happening for a reason, and that I would actually learn more from the bad things that happen to me than I will the good things.

I think you live the life that you want to live and I think in most cases, certainly with things like fame, I think you decide what happens to you. In some you don’t get to decide but I think with a lot of celebrities, going to certain places and making sure you’re seen in certain places is a choice, so if you don’t ever want to be recognised, then disappear off the face of the earth, it’s pretty easy for that to happen.

Writing confessional songs hasn’t become more difficult, but the repercussion have become more intense. I should probably take it as a compliment that people care what I’m writing about

Reds not my mom. I wouldn’t wish that on her. I wouldn’t wish that on anyone.

Badlands is just a greater body of work. It’s a place; a metaphor for my mental state. The Badlands are isolated. Chaotic. Commercial. Gluttonous. And midway through the record the protagonist makes a decision to escape, though unsure of what lies beyond the only place they’ve ever known. This symbolizes my choice to leave a depressive state of mind and seek solace in a more optimistic place. Leaving behind the devastation but carrying the baggage still. It’s darker, more industrial. And we’ve attempted to create a physical space with sound. It’s an adventure; it’s a movie with no picture.

Some days I feel like I can totally handle it and then some days I feel like I’m walking on a tightrope and I’m losing my balance. Because you’re human and you have good days and bad days and up days and down days and that’s just kinda how it works. That’s why writing songs helps me get through all that.
