"I wrote “Play Me Like A Violin” and “Stay” while recovering from Lyme Disease. At the time, all I wanted was to escape my symptoms and be myself again. Now, I don’t condone habitual drug use, but after months of not being able to do anything but rest, I was desperate for something more. “Play Me Like A Violin” tells the story of taking ecstasy in a club in D.C. with the intention to remember who I was. The girl in the song is actually a personification of the high. She allowed me to breathe again, to look at myself and say, “I love you. Even the sick you.” The memories of those feelings really helped me get through the following months."
