I hid there because I couldn’t face myself. Couldn’t deal with all my pain and confusion. Music was cathartic, but even as a songwriter I could never dig deep enough to get to the heart of the problem. So I wrote songs that were mostly veiled metaphor, even from myself.
I believe my lack of true authenticity was detectable on some level by my audience and while I had devoted fans, I could never build anything substantial.
