Steve Grand: ‘Every time I write a song, I feel like I’ve patched up another tear in my soul’

Steve Grand posted this on Facebook over the weekend and I want to share it because it’s really raw and gives us some insight into this All-American Boy:

Music continues to save me. Every time I write a song, I feel like I’ve patched up another tear in my soul. It seems to be the only way to release myself from the weight I carry with me constantly. Don’t ever leave your passion, and it will never leave you.

My life is in a constant state of chaos. Things change so fast I never get to adjust to anything. There is so much uncertainty and it’s unsettling. And no one is here to guide me because it’s me, and heaven forbid I do ANYTHING normal or ordinary. I need these sparse moments of stillness to keep going.

My sleep schedule hasn’t been much of a schedule at all. I’ve stayed awake through the early hours of the morning just writing and writing. I love these moments where all of the noise in my life goes silent, and the words flow so naturally, because they are so honest. I hear my soul more clearly than ever and I can’t get the words out fast enough. These moments of pure connectivity, with no noise and no interference, are the moments I live for. I’m not thinking about anything: not whether these words will be on the record, or if anyone will think it’s any good. or if it’s commercial enough for radio. I’m just writing to give my soul it’s chance to dance and shine and be heard and embraced, and heal itself in the process.

I don’t know if this is my morning or my night. I’m just glad that right now, I really don’t care.
