The Things We Turn Away From” sees Luke channel all his creative energy andpassion for song-writing into a solo record for the first time.Ive loved songwriting for my whole life, he exclaims. Im in a constantpursuit of bettering myself in that department. My whole world revolvesaround music. By writing these lyrics, I learned about myself. A lot of thesongs are about now, but some of them are written from the perspective of a17-year-old kid in the thick of the industry. Those perspectives clash onthe album. It was a challenge to create on my own. It naturally turned intoa separate entity with the vibe, but it also coexists with 5 Seconds OfSummer as another part of me.
