Singer Andy Grammer on his Optimism, Joy and Happiness
In a Q&A published in healthline, singer-songwriter Andy Grammer was asked: "Your songs are so positive and uplifting, but they also address deep serious feelings. Do you think people often think that people who are happy, positive, and optimistic can’t have dark days?"
Andy Grammer: "I can’t speak for everybody else, just for myself. I know for my own art, if you’re going to be someone who is dealing in the world of optimism and joy and uplifting yourself and others, even the word uplift means that you are low.
"I wrote my first song, “Keep Your Head Up,” after my mom died, so it’s all grounded in pain. I think that hope can be really rebellious in a dark time, but if it’s not, that’s the kind of optimism and hope that I try to sing about, that I can really get behind… I think that joy or happiness in the face of darkness is so much more interesting, and that’s usually the place that I’m writing from."
