Dear Adam Young,

Hi, my name is louisa. I'm in between graduating high school and going to college.

I want you to know, that every blog you've posted since "You Had Me At Hello" even through the latest update about making new music, they all entirely fit what is going on in my life and how I've been feeling. Like, not only as a collective feeling, but also as you posted a new blog, that was where I was in my life! Which is exciting to think about, because it means I'm not alone. It gives me hope :)

With the latest scoop on new music. I know EXACTLY what you mean about hearing it in your head, and wanting to let people hear it that way, but instead, picking apart the sound and creating it first. I feel like I'm in the same spot, writing music more steadily now and hearing it in my head, but for me I don't have analog equipment, so I do everything with VSTs on my dell laptop. After all the time I put onto it, I start to get lonely. Does it ever bother you that the time it takes to create music is spent without much interaction with the rest of the world? I work for my parents, who own a shipping franchise, and I would rather spend that time doing something I could pour my heart and soul into like making music -- even though I know what I do for my job is important, and people need to get their shipments on time and undamaged.
Part of me feels like I can't meet my social needs if I'm working and doing music, but if I choose to fill those needs, music has to drop out of the picture (it's happened, and I hate the end result). And at the moment Im definitely not in the position to quit my job. Groceries are important, you know?

How did you create music when you had a job at UPS? Did you hang out with your friends often? Was it sometimes annoying to work on a song for so long, but you knew it wouldn't get done well if you didn't finish? When did you finally quit your job? How long were you playing local shows for? I want to know your story,
because I feel like I aready know a lot of you from your songs (you do a good job with putting your raw self out there ;) ). So what is your story?

Louisa
