I may not be the most famous songwriter in the world, but you know a David Friedman song when you hear it. It took me a long time to appreciate that.

It took me a long time to realize you don't choose what you're famous for.

It took me a long time to be alright with smiling onstage.

It took me a long, long time to break the chains that's inside me.

May the God of your choice bless and keep you. I respect Him as long as He does not circumcise me anymore.

I saw what Purple meant to people and I still hear it now when I'm in Europe. I'm always shocked that I'm still asked about Purple because it was such a long time ago.
