I Have Writing Songs On My Own

I Didn't Sing For Years And Years, But I Started Playing Harp When I Was Maybe 9 Or 10. I Had Actually Wanted To Play For Years Leading Up To That, But No Teacher In Our Little Town Would Take Me On As A Student, Because I Was Too Young.

Around Eighth Grade I Decided I Wanted To Be A Composer And That's What I Went To College For. Just A Few Years Back, I Switched Out Of Composition And Into Creative Writing So I Could Work With Words.

People Are Often Afraid For Me. They Think That I Am Going To Break. I Can Make It Through A Set.

I Didn't Really Know A Lot Of The History When I Was Younger. I Didn't Realize That The Harp Is Coded In Such A Specific Way In Musical Circles. It's Kind Of This Society Instrument Because Of Its History As A Young Woman's Parlor Instrument.

Never Get So Attached To A Poem That You Forget Truth That Lacks Lyricism.
