That's why I named my album 'Finding Forever,' because that's what I was thinking about: What did I want to contribute to this world that would live beyond my physical existence?
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I wanted to make the album I always needed to make. I had to say the things I never could.
I wanted to make an album that was hopeful and encouraging and inspiring. That was the goal.
At some point in my life, before I was gone, I wanted to make an album, even if it was for no reason other than posterity.
I kinda like the idea of having an album that's all me.
Songs lay a foundation of who I am going to be forever.
I think I've grown a lot in the last few years, and I needed to express myself as an artist on this. It wasn't necessarily about going in and making an album chocked full of hit singles... there were a lot of things I did out of the joy and the want to do it.
If my life were a song, what would it be? 'A Never Ending Road of Musical Good Times'.
What we have as artists is the immortalization opportunity that others don't have, because our work is lasting; it's there forever to view.
I've got something to live for, because I always wanted to be an artist; I always wanted to be famous.
I wanted to make an album that takes a journey through all my favorite periods in music and then culminates in something that will most likely end my career.
