21:45- “I’ve been struggling since I was a kid with depression and anxiety, and I feel like that definitely translates a lot into my music. And that’s why I kind of have that light and dark side to the sound. "Falling Fast" Most of the album is kind of like this very ethereal light hearted sound and I find that when I’m not feeling great or when I’m really down, it’s easier to create that style of music, kind of create something that sounds a little bit more cheerful […] and then when I’m really happy and I feel great its way easier to make darker stuff. And so it’s interesting to have, especially in my head, that contrasting light and dark with happy and sad.”
