Music is a total constant. That’s why we have such a strong visceral connection to it, you know? Because a song can take you back instantly to a moment, or a place, or even a person. No matter what else has changed in you or the world, that one song stays the same, just like that moment.

It requires wisdom to understand wisdom. The music is nothing if the audience is deaf.

Music says more than any tear, smile, or heartbreak. It sums it up into a masterpiece on a blackboard that you can only see when the lights are off. It’s the blind mans cane and the rich mans gold, but to an average person? It’s everything.

It’s like forgetting the words to your favorite song. You can’t believe it, you were always singing along. It was so easy and the words so sweet. You can’t remember. You try to feel the beat. You spend half of your life trying to fall behind. You’re using your headphones to drown out your mind.

I want my music to sound like throwing yourself out of a tree, or off a tall building, or as if you’re being sucked down into the ocean and you can’t breathe. It’s something overwhelming and all-encompassing that fills you up, and you’re either going to explode with it, or you’re just going to disappear.

There is something special about a room filled with people and music, something in a song that makes it feel like a friend, something that says: ‘its okay to cry, it’s okay to feel, it’s okay to scream.’ Music reminds us we’re alive.

I began to draw an invisible boundary between myself and other people. No matter who I was dealing with. I maintained a set distance, carefully monitoring the person’s attitude so that they wouldn’t get any closer. I didn’t easily swallow what other people told me. My only passions were books and music.

- Interviewer: In difficult times who have you supported? Who are your friends?
- Jared: Do you Want to make me cry? The truth is that I feel alone most of the time. I stopped believing in happiness, but I know that music makes me feel good. A little faith can also help. Many people do not believe in anything. We also need to sleep well and eat vegetables.
We cling to music, to poems, to quotes, to writing, to art because we desperately do not want to be alone. We want to know we aren’t going crazy and someone else out there knows exactly how you’re feeling. We want someone to explain the things we can’t.

You know, I’ve got this theory; there are two kinds of people in the world. There are lyric people and music people. You know, the lyrics people tend to be analytical. You know, all about the meaning of the song. They’re the ones you see with the CD insert out like five minutes after buying it, pouring over the lyrics, interpreting the hell out of everything. Then there’s the music people…who could care less for the lyrics as long as it’s got, like, a good beat and you could dance to it. I don’t know, sometimes it might be easier to be a music girl and not a lyric girl. But since I’m not, let me just say this: sometimes things find you when you need them to find you. I believe that. And for me, it’s usually song lyrics.

It sounds like this is nothing new and it hasn’t been for a while. You wake up on the other side and you strain to force a smile. The fairytale inside your head has become your new best friend.
