Jann Arden

This is awesome.

Like, I love what you're doing.

And I would be remiss if I didn't ask you about, I mean, this is your latest single.

It feels like you put a single out and the next day they're going, so William, what's next?

And you're like, Jesus fucking Christ.

I just, anyway, the song Lighthearted.

Tell me about that.

I've been listening to it the last few days.

I was just walking down Queen Street just prior to this interview, and I'm like, I'm going to put on a little William Prince as I walk down the street.

Tell me about Lighthearted.

You're on the dark side now, William.

That's big.

It's big on how we bring all these seemingly insignificant things into our lives, into our hearts that just make us mad.

I want to ask you this because...

I also had a dad that was a tempest in a teapot, and he was an alcoholic, and he was like a wrecking ball through our house.

It really affected my older brother.

My older brother didn't escape it.

He spent most of his formative years in prison.

But I was wondering, why, William, do we—why do we remember—

those horrible sort of things.
