The Stories, Experiences & Memories Behind My Music
My Life in Twelve Themes
I didn’t choose these twelve themes because they describe everyone’s life. I chose them because they describe mine. They are the experiences I keep returning to when I try to understand where I’ve been, who I’ve become, and why I craft the songs I do. Behind each theme are stories from my life—and the music those stories became.
