So you had music to kind of shield you from what was going on.

Did you feel like you'd found your place or did you still kind of feel like you hadn't found a place that you fit in?

Well, what's weird about it is that music became like my escape but also the only thing that I could use to resolve the schisms of life.

And I could not do without it.

It's physically not possible.

I mean, I've read a lot about what music does to people now.

You know, the mathematics of music, the frequencies, what they do to human beings.

You know, these emotions that music can give you, they're real things and they're precious things to me.

And I might sound completely gaga these days because music is now seen as just another product.

I mean, I'm one of many, many content providers, but I've never seen it like that and I never will see it like that.

It's a sacred thing to me because I believe that human beings need it.

I never, ever say this stuff publicly.

So this is a good time to do it, right?

Let's get it out.

Yeah.

I think now's the time.

Where was I?

I have no idea.

We were talking about school.

How did I get to that point?
