My favorite lyric in BLAME IT ON THE KIDS is, 'I'm tired of holding on,' and that's because, as seems to be the theme in my lyric choices, sometimes it's really hard.

And so BLAME IT ON THE KIDS is my way of saying that we actually shouldn't blame anyone, and it's often that young people are blamed for things happening. And it doesn't matter what age you are, it doesn't really stop. Friends, family, there are so many things that influence us all the time. It is so hard to hold on to that kernel of uniqueness and the part that makes us, us with the constant inundation of media telling us, you know, what's cool, what we should look like, who we should be. 'BLAME IT ON THE KIDS is telling people not to worry about what they think they should do, or who they think they should be.
