Hound - Con't from page 5
doing nothing wrong. Talk to a teacher you can trust,
find a friend who is unconditionally supportive. If you
don't have those resources, we are here for you when
you are old enough to make your own decisions. Your
tribe is out there, and we will embrace you with open
arms.
JRK: Generally, what are your songs about?
H: I'm generally a pessimist, so
a lot of my music is fueled by
personal struggles, existential
crisis, or the unraveling of the
world as we know it. It's not
unusual for a musician to see
the glass half empty, it's one
of the biggest reasons why
most of us escape in music.
However, it's a goal of mine to
write songs that aren't always in
a minor key. We'll see how well
that goes… It's been an interest-
ing journey with this song and music v i d -
eo, because the response has been so positive and I've
been getting opportunities that I've always dreamed of.
So, I think I'm on the right track to finally writing that
happy song. I know my mom would really love that.
JRK: What parting thoughts would you like to
leave Diversity Rules readers?
H: Everyone has a story to tell, even the people who
you think are ordinary, the bullies, or the people who
seem to have it all. Storytelling is at the core of every-
ones lives. In our conversations, entertainment, shared
experiences - we are all captivated by a good story. I
think the world needs to listen to them more. A lot
of learning and healing can come out of listening to
someones experience. Sometimes those stories are told
with a great melody - which what I hope to do now
and for the rest of my life. As Kate Bush brilliantly
sang, "Let's exchange the experience."
