But, yeah, for a while I definitely rebelled from them.
Yeah, I think a similar thing, like I think I now, at this point in my career, I can really feel that gratitude and really feel, yeah, like it's an amazing privilege to be able to touch people in that way.
I feel lucky in a way because I don't know how it happens.
I just seem to be able to write songs that people can relate to.
I think it's taken me a while to get there because, as I said, there was a good period in my 20s when I was rebelling from –
um, those, you know, that first album and how kind of crazy that had gone, and I felt this pressure then to stay as that person.
So I think there was this real friction for a while there where I, I felt like I had to prove that I was more than that first album.
And um, so I was kind of, you know, that showed up as a bit of defensiveness, I think.
But over the years I think I did just kind of keep writing albums and I kept expressing myself and where I was at at that time.
And, you know, some of the songs hit well, some of them didn't, but I think that ultimately I just proved to myself that I was more than just my first or second album.
Like I was...
I did have longevity, I think that that was, that's every musician and songwriter's biggest fear, is that you will just run out of inspiration, and you'll run out of songs.
Like, I just, I went through a few years in my twenties where I was so, I had such bad writer's block, that I was like, I'm never gonna be able to write a song again, and then who the hell am I?
And then, how am I gonna get any respect, how am I gonna respect myself, like...
I just didn't think I had any self-worth if it wasn't for my, you know, my success and people liking my music.
Um, but yeah, it's, it's, it's come to mean a lot more to me than that now.
And I'm just, you know, I'm super, super grateful for the people that keep turning up to my shows and keep wanting to hear my music and...
Um, it wouldn't really matter to me the size of my fan base at this point, it would just, the fact that I connect with anybody is a really beautiful feeling to me now.
Like, it just makes me feel like the stories that I'm telling, um, they're not living in their own little bubble.
Like, they mean something to people, and they connect with people, which ultimately makes me feel not so alone in my journey, you know.
