Donβt expect Lewis Capaldi to be your typical superstar. He may be behind hit ballad βSomeone You Loved,β but he isnβt about to harp on the emotional lyrics and breakup behind the song β or take fame too seriously.
βLook at me,β Capaldi told Ryan Seacrest when he stopped by On Air With Ryan Seacrest on Tuesday, October 15. βIβm never going to be Mr. Serious when I look like meatloaf,β he joked. ββ¦ I think the music can be serious, right? And you can do the music and this doesnβt have to last forever. I just want to look back and think, βYou know what? I had a great, good time with it.β And I am. Iβm having a lovely time.β
Capaldi, who still lives with his parents, agreed that he does have a levity to him and doesnβt want to be a sap story.
βYou go out for a gig and see someone on stage and theyβre like, βHereβs this next song thatβs about a girl that left me and I was really sadβ and itβs like, βWho cares!ββ Capaldi explained of his view. β[Youβre like] βSing the song! I came here to hear it! Sing it! Youβre making me mad! Do it!β You know what I mean?β
That said, the 23-year-old Scottish singer-songwriter said he will continue to work some personal experiences and stories into his music, but finding love on the road has been difficult.Β
βI think you can still find stuff to write about,β he concluded. βI think [having] all this stuff happen, itβs amazing, but the rest of the part β¦ Iβm never home so I β¦ miss home β¦ and thereβs stuff to write about that β¦ and itβs [also] very hard to cultivate a romantic relationship when youβre on the road.β
