“I struggle a lot with my mind, as every human does… I don’t think my problems are all that special so I’m hopeful people will relate and these songs will find them and help comfort them wherever they are. The story of the album goes from this dark rage-y place to something very hopeful”, says Hayley talking to Stereogum about Petals for Armor.
Besides her debut solo album Hayley was asked about Paramore and big tour offers the band turned down. “I know that Paramore got offered a lot of really big tours just with different bands from specific scenes of music that we just felt like we wanted to transcend. So we didn’t take those opportunities — again, not out of disrespect, but because we felt we knew ourselves and we didn’t align with where we thought that tour would have taken us”. And a question about Taylor Swift also appeared.
“We started hanging out after the big Kanye thing happened. I don’t really know her that well anymore, but when we were both living in Nashville, she was living here most of the time. She’s really a sweet person and this harsh music industry tried to chew her up and spit her out a thousand times. And I think she always rises to the top because she’s actually a great writer and a great artist. And I do think that she is just a good person, you know?”, said Williams.
