I Just Don't Want People

I Am A Candid Interview And I Have A Dark And Dry Sense Of Humor - A Very Canadian Sense Of Humor And I Am Only Learning Now Stupidly That You Can't Read Tongue. When I Say Something Funny In A Newspaper And I Meant It To Be Funny, It Doesn't Read That Way.

I Brought In Producer Johan Carlsson [ariana Grande, One Direction, Flo Rida] And Asked, "can You Make This Better?" And He Did.

There Was No Way I Was Ever Going To Get A Fair Shake. How Good Could I Be? I Was Canadian. I Wasn't From New York. I Wasn't From Vegas. I Was Born In 1975, Not 1917. My Last Name Wasn't Sinatra Or Darin Or Martin. Early On And Often, There Was Always The Comparison. "he's Good, But He's No '[fill In The] Blank.'

I Can't Sit And Compare My Trouble To Brian Wilson But I Came From A Blue-collar Family Of Fishermen. Music Was An Escape And A Way For Me To Dream Of Better Things And A Better Place To Be. Let's Just Say I Was An Insecure, Scared Kid.

I Was Probably Five Years Old Or Four Years And I Would Listen To "white Christmas," And I Just Thought It Was The Most Beautiful Thing Ever. The Musicianship And His Voice And The Melody Of That Song; It's Almost Like I Wish It Wasn't A Christmas Song Because I Wish That You Were Allowed To Listen To It All Year.
