I identify as being an independent artist. I think people often forget that Indie is actually short for independent. For me, the word has a meaning more than what it connotes from an industry standpoint.

I think some modesty actually serves me by just accepting that I am an instrument. I’m not trying to match up to an ideal as some kind of challenge. It’s more like I use the family tree of music and song that I feel has fit me as an encouragement; like it’s a bed to rest in rather than a challenge to try to better myself over, to try to.

I think that there is a purity aesthetic, like “I just make art because I’m an artist and I can’t help it. I don’t care what the critics say.” But different mediums have a different relationship with the public. If you’re in a performing medium it’s hard not to place some weight on whether or not people come to your shows, or whether or not they’re enjoying them.

So when you’re talking about lyrics in the context of music, it’s not just about what the words mean, and what you were thinking about when you wrote it. It’s not cognitive in that same way. It’s almost like music turns words into touch, which is hard to describe, like the feeling of your shirt on your back. It’s a pretty delicate thing to try to put into words. You just feel it.
