PS: Is there a lesson that you learned in the process of working on this album that you could share with anyone who also might be dealing with heartbreak?
BE: The last song on the album is called "Cast Away," and it's about how we overthink love and always run from it until we find out that we get so far away from it that we can't live without it or we need it to move forward in life. There's always that want for love. There's always that want to run, too. It's like being stuck in between, and how do you find that happy place? We're all stuck there just trying to find love. It's just how you find it and when you find it. If you have the want to find it, eventually, I believe in my heart that it will come around.
Maybe I'm not in love at the moment, but I am writing songs [that express] what it will feel like when I do find that. I hope that people who have already found love or need to be hopeful in finding it can hear that and be like, "Oh [yeah, I can relate]." Because that's my favorite thing about music, is relating in a way that's like, "Man. I'm not the only one out here that's feeling like they're stranded on an island, finding stuff, looking around like, 'I guess this is how it's always going to be.'"
