I didn't like to be restricted, because when you're in a choir, you have a part to sing and you sing it. I always liked singing on my own.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Sometimes I think the choir gets a little ticked with me because I haven't sung in a long time and I can sing.
I didn't start singing until I was 16. I was afraid to sing in front of people.
I sang in choir as a kid.
I just couldn't get anyone to sing my songs, so I had to sing my own tunes.
A lot of people would have loved me to keep singing... You come to a point where you have sung, more or less... your whole repertoire and you want to get down to the job of living.
I think I hid my singing talent from a lot of my friends at school because I didn't want to alienate anyone. If everyone was singing along in the car to a Madonna song, I didn't join in because when we're younger we're afraid of sticking out or showing off, when in fact we should own those things that make us really unique.
I sang in the choir for years, even though my family belonged to another church.
I didn't think it was special to be able to sing.
I found it was really impossible for me to write songs when I couldn't sing.
I was never restricted. I was never told what to do.
