skyscraper is a really powerful song and when i first recorded it i was just doubled over in tears and i was putting my everything into the song because i wanted the song to turn out amazing but i also knew it was an opportunity to let out so many emotions that i was feeling at that time and this was before i had gone into treatment and gone into gone through a lot of things in my life and when i got out of treatment i re recorded the song and it just wasn t the same i realized it was because before i went in recording skyscraper was kinda like my cry for help and i think that s what really is sort of magnetic about this song when you first hear it because it s so raw and so vulnerable and i m really really proud of it and i ve heard a lot of people tell me that skyscraper changed their lives so i m really proud of it and i m still overwhelmed about the magnitude of the access that it had it s just been amazing it s held a very special place in my heart
