i got into music pretty young because i started taking piano lessons when i was still in single digits, and i'd started writing poetry around the same time. the two just kind of fell together. but i remember going to a springsteen concert with my parents when i was around ten or eleven and there was this kind of palpable feeling of togetherness in the audience, you know, people are so passionate about springsteen, and i remember very clearly wanting to be part of that kind of feeling forever. so i made that kind of feeling for myself. i guess.
