I could quite happily just make music because it conjures up a whole visual world for me in my mind.

You can get addicted to a certain kind of sadness, Like resignation to the end, Always the end.

Through the music I hope to give it an arc that gives it a greater sense of a journey through the set rather than a bunch of songs.

Emotionally, I feel mostly out-of-depth, like I will never quite learn how to be what I should be. And that makes me feel pretty vulnerable a lot of the time.

What makes me vulnerable? Well, my ego, probably. I kind of like to try to let go of it. Or feeling out of my depth. In various aspects of my life, whether it's musical or personal.
