At the time, Keisling was living as an 11-year-old boy in Pennsylvania, and after hearing ‘Lola’, she felt less alone in the world. “It was pretty clear that ‘Lola’ was like me,” Keisling said to NBC. “It made me realise I wasn’t absolutely the only person in the world living with what was then a shameful secret.”\n\n“His song was one of the things that got me through,” Keisling added. “That sounds odd, but when you’re a kid and that alone, and you have that kind of thing weighing on you, and you can’t talk to anybody about it, a song like ‘Lola’ becomes so important.”\n\n“Somebody,” she added, “Was talking to me — to me — about this. It was lifesaving.”", "location": 1, "location_name": "Default", "play_type": "trackplay" }
