All time low

New York on its own is a Mecca, which is great, but I don’t think it would have meant as much to me if I wasn’t coming home from New York to this dull, vanilla, white bread town. I think that really made me realize I had ideas and opinions that just weren’t right for where I was. And it also made me not really give a shit what anybody thought of me. I had tattoos in high school, had the sides of my head shaved and I dressed weird… age-old artist story. But for me, it was watching kids lead a really destructive life in such a cinematic way that really affected me. Of course I got into my fair share of trouble but a lot of my songs, while they’re autobiographical, they’re also narratives of what the people around me were up to.
