I'm mostly inspired by relationships and things that are going on in my everyday life. It's hard for me to write songs about things I don't experience firsthand, but most of the time it's about relationships - things that are going on in my head.

The relationships we have with our doctors are often the most trusted relationships of our lives. Our doctors tell us hard truths that others will not.

Our relationships, relationships between adults, how all those pieces fit together - that's the most complicated thing we all face.
