I write songs not because I want to. I write because I have to.

Because some thoughts and feelings are too much for the body to hold, and keeping them inside can destroy you from the inside out.

I used to say that my music was like my diary, but it’s so much more than that. If I wanted a diary, I’d write one and keep it on the bookshelf next to my bed—only for me.

But I don’t want a diary. I want something more. Something that reaches beyond myself to the ones it needs to reach.

My music is for the ones who think too much and say too little. For you reading this right now, thinking about your own life and all you must hold secret from the world.

Because I know what it’s like to be lonely. I know what it’s like to feel hopeless. I know what it’s like to dream and fantasize. To wish yourself into a life you fear you may never live.

And I know what it's like to love—which might be the most painful all. 

And it’s for all of you. If you get it, you get it. If you don’t, you will.

With love, EB.
