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

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