“I was very depressed when I was 19... I would go back to my apartment every day and I would just sit there. It was quiet and it was lonely. It was still. It was just my piano and myself. I had a television and I would leave it on all the time just to feel like somebody was hanging out with me.” FeelsStillsTelevisionQuietLonelyPianoHanging OutApartmentVery Depressed Author:Lady Gaga

“My mom tells this story that even when I was in the womb, my father played the piano and she sang. So, before I officially got here, I was already surrounded by music. I also like the way my father explains it. When I was about 3-years old, in order to keep me quiet, my father would put me in the bassinet and either put on some music or play the piano. When he started playing, I got quiet and eventually went to sleep. He said by the time I turned 3, I just climbed up on the piano and started playing it with the attitude of I'm gonna play dis here piano.” WayYearsSaidPlayStoriesOrderFatherSleepAttitudeMomQuietMy MomPianoWomb Author:Cyrus Chestnut
