简介
I waited 22 years to get a brother. I loved him from the word "boy" and I instantly wanted him to stay young and small forever. I was inspired partly by Taylor Swift's "Never Grow Up," but I had this desire to have something more tailored to Lennon and I. My other muse was this feeling of nostalgia for events that had not even taken place, for adventures that we would have. It was this that led to the central Peter Pan theme of the song. It clung to all my ideas about the lyrics and they all came together so easily and flowed brilliantly. It was the perfect song writing experience. All the lines came out sounding right. I edited maybe two words after I wrote them all down the first time, a singular event I'm sure I'll never replicate. It is my hope that through this song I have preserved a part of my brother that will always be a little boy who wants to have fun, that by giving a real person Pan-like qualities, maybe I have created my own version of Peter. Because all children grow up...except one.
