about

The temperament of an artist has many stereotypes and stigmas surrounding it.
Many of us struggle with crippling self doubt and self loathing.
This song is not only dedicated to all my friends who are artists who struggle with the artist temperament, but to our friends and family who support us, love us and give us the strength to keep doing what we do.
More specifically, this song is dedicated to Ryan Frost in memory of a conversation we had after my first 30 min set on the stream that didn't go exactly how I had planned.
Also, also this song is dedicated to:
Scheree Reeves
Rye Crothers
Stephanie McAulay
Josh Cashmere & James North
For tuning into the stream and being so supportive via text, Twitter, stream chat and Facebook messages.
You're all THE BEST! <3

lyrics

VERSE 1:
You are not the first one to believe in me
Guess something you said though got through to me

CHORUS:
But I'm not my biggest fan even though some days I am
What a paradox I know, gotta learn to let things go

And I'm trying, yeah I'm trying
To believe in me

VERSE 2:
I was not the first one to believe in me
But I'll get on the wagon and in time start to see

BRIDGE:
And to my wife and my little sister, I know you're both my biggest fans
And both my parents are amazing, I know you do the best you can
I've got great friends who all support me, I'm making new ones every day
Don't let these feelings half destroy you, don't let the doubts eat you away

CHORUS 2:
But I'm not my biggest fan even though some days I am
What a paradox I know, gotta take things as I go
