It is not in full so I dunno what she said before but it starts with
Something of a childhood dream or fantasy because what I was thinking while I was singing there and my mom was hanging me napkins...so I was thinking "If only they knew how many bad songs before that good one...so many (tears in her voice).
So many bad songs ..but when I was about 13 years old my mom got something in the mail from the Songwriters Hall of Fame that there was a songwriting forum...guild..club that you could be a part of to take classes and meet other song writers and I applied when I was very young. And I got to join this guild so..(I think it was Wednesdays) I used to go and play my songs in a room full of that were mostly in their 30s, 40s, 50s and 60s and I was the lonely young kid with the bad songs.
And it was an extremely important moment for me in my life because I realised that there were people that actually cared that I wrote music and not a lot of people care about that.
But the ones that do are who are breathing life into the future of music so thank you so much
*applause*
I guess I speak from, you know, my generation that....and I don't mean it in a bad way...it's just that nowadays if you write your own songs it's not something that everybody knows (whether?) it's the most important thing. But it is important to me, it's really important to me cause I know when I go home at night, that I wrote that song and you guys made that possible and I wanna see more songwriters as artists that have the spotlight on them for their talent that their in their rooms writing writing their songs and that it's coming from them and that every album that you watch that they put out, you gonna be seeing something that is a true struggle from a human being that is honest and true and thank you for taking care of us and making us feel like we matter because at the end of the day writing songs is what makes me really feel like I matter.
*applause*
Tony I am so grateful to because he is always looking out for me and I am very honored that he was here tonight to present this award to me and I'm very honered that Linda Perry was here tonight and I consider them true, true and two huge influences in my life and I hope anyone that's here can see a true dream has been made come true cause these artists supported another artist and I am very grateful that I'm here.
I feel that I have a lot of work to do as personally I feel extremely unaccomplished as a song writer as my heroes have done some things that I can only dream of and I feel very in my infancy as a writer and I thank you for just ...at this point of my career, I've had some ups, I've had some downs, I've had some in betweens that you've chosen to honor me for the onlu thing I know I have which is my heartbeat which is that I write songs so thank you *applause starts*...*blows kisses* and my mom and my dad and my sister *blows kisses*
My manager Bobby, Kenny, thank you for being here, thank you to Samantha Cox *applause* I have to thank Linda as well and I also wanna say a thank you to someone who's maybe not here today but Bob Leone *applause* I got discovered at a Songwriters Hall of Fame showcase by a girl named Wendy Starland and Bob was there and Bob was just wonderful with everyone and always made feel like someone was gonna be listening and caring and I am so excited about the furture of this non profit which is what I love the most about it. Thank you for having me here and thank you for showing so much love to me and my family and to all of these amazing songwriters that are here tonight that I am very honored to be in their company of, good night.
