"When I was growing up
in New York as a kid my family lived on the upper West Side in apartment
#6S. My mom use to have groceries delivered to our house and she'd
tell the check out boy "come to apartment 6S." But as
a kid, what I heard was: "Come to apartment success."
"I thought we lived in success for a pretty long while and
I still like to think of my self residing in success, an appropriate
success, not a '6S' that's someone else's, but my very own place,
my own private success (#6S) that I’ve designed to suit my life.
"APT, as well as meaning "Apartment," also means: "likely,
appropriate, well-suited, and reasonable," and so I decided to name
my album after my childhood home because apart from 'Apt #6S' meaning
'the place where I was grown,' it also refers to the fact that even
though we’ve long since moved out of that home on the upper west
side, I still live in success; my own, original, funky, appropriate
success... that I’ve designed my own way." -- Sally
