Everyone has a lot damaged stuff that they only kind of put the face on, exit and cope with it. However everyone having these loopy triggers — you see that suicide charges are insane, suicides among the many army, the ex-military, males 3 times extra prone to commit suicide as ladies. It is simply individuals are hurting. And so my literal easy position in life, in that kind of Japanese idea of a vocation, is absolutely writing songs about individuals and about emotions. And it is humorous as a result of once I started, it wasn’t like that. You possibly can simply complain in songs, however I all the time needed to have this kind of sense of hope, this sense of assist and assist and shut neighborhood and folks and love and friendship and kindness. And so I’ve written like that.

So I identical to that concept of that bravado. It is power. It isn’t bravado. It is power within the face of adversity.”
