Sharon Van Etten - one of the most prolific songwriters of our time!
Drive Time Producer, Rachel Stevens, talked to Sharon Van Etten about what it's like being a parent in music: www.kexp.org
"’Comeback Kid’ is about that feeling when you go back home to visit your family and you have those mixed emotions of feeling like that kid again, like you’re always going to be a kid in your parents’ eyes. You walk around in your hometown and run into people you used to know who have in their minds who they think you are. I go home and I’m in the bedroom where I grew up, with all these memories around me, but I’m an adult now. I’ve come very far, but sometimes you get back in that spot and feel like a kid all over again...."
