So she starts singing. She's 13. So she's just now at the age where she can maybe even tolerate me saying, do another take of that verse a little more angry or whatever. Right, right.

And our drummer, my friend David, who now is also a successful, great music producer, which is awesome, is in the same boat I am. He's like, I'm going to not go to college. Like I'm going to make music. And the other two guys are like, okay, we're going to go to college. College seems pretty cool. Our band sucks.

We were not like Green Day. We were not making Dookie at 18. We were making like terrible music. And I write the song Ocean Eyes that I think is like, I appreciate myself sitting there, but it doesn't feel like something for my band. There's a kind of a femininity to it, to me.

No, the band was like a stupid pop band. I write this kind of sad ballad song. Yeah, yeah. There's not even a place for guitar on this. How am I going to break the news to our guitarist?

Like we put it on SoundCloud and the next day it was on a blog. And then the next day it was on more blog and it just started to percolate. We were not on Ellen the next day. It was not viral, but it was happening.
