 It's like the morning time, don't know why See music has kind of been in my life since I came into the world Like my father was a musician, he had a cover band and they used to rehearse in our living room And so I was just always around it, and it's just been my life Just laying in this bed Who that never gets old I might have been five years old, or even three years old I remember being on my dad's lap, you know, when he was playing keys And he taught me how to play guitar when I was about seven years old Everything my dad was listening to, I was listening to He was playing a lot of Prince, a lot of funk Like James Brown, a lot of blues, be the king Even Aretha Franklin and Eric Clapton and people like that You're the best I am, I'll be finish like your son I am, you're the best I am Love doesn't live here I could be singing a random melody, you know, at the weirdest time A melody just comes to my head and I have to record it real quick And I might bring that to the studio Or I'm in my house sitting at a piano and I come up with some chords And I can't find the melody yet, you know, maybe it's just about living in that world Of listening to the chords I'm also a poet, you know, as much as I am a songwriter It's one of my passions and sometimes I just write down what I feel And then the song kind of writes itself In 2019, a lot of real music is coming back And by real music I mean like real instruments are being used And a lot of real stories, people are saying a lot of things with substance And, you know, I think a lot of female artists too are making a lot of power moves And it's great to see that I'm not like the coolest person in the world, honestly When I saw that Obama listen to my music, you made it It's like official, like, who cares about anybody else? You know, it's Obama So many people in the now nominated for five Grammys It's like, should give somebody hope, you can do it You don't have to have, you know, big, huge label push or anything Just say what's on your heart and release it out to the world
