I'm thinking of that little Poe who's sitting there and listening to music and thinking about the possibilities of the world and the windows that these songs give you into what could be out there.

And all of a sudden you're out there.

But it also sounds like you couldn't stop going in that direction because all the things that you dreamed about had just opened up to you.

The world was much bigger.

Yeah, yeah, no, absolutely.

Yeah, the world was much bigger and I...

I felt philosophically really confined and it started to, it started to definitely worry me and I felt like I was living a lie as well because I was still going to church and I started to, it started to trouble me that I knew I wasn't a bad person but I felt like I was just, you know, the most, you know,

Like I was committing the most, you know, horrific sins, you know, just, you know, being a normal person of that age, you know, I was exploring love and, you know, sex and all the normal things.

But I really resented that.

feeling bad about myself so much because I already had all these other little, you know, things.

And religion was just like another thing piling on top of it all.

But as I said, this is kind of a, it's quite a haunting song.

But if you're listening to this album and it's around the time that you're looking for husbands, I've got to know, is this before or after you've given up finding a husband?

It was before.

Yeah, this was when I was full of hope.

So the music of Sade is inspiring you to find a Mormon husband.

That's pretty hot.

I don't mind that.

I feel like, again, the music was way ahead of you.

It's like, you know what, Poe, this life is not for you.
