Numerous occasions, religion comes out of that, quite a lot of occasions perception, quite a lot of occasions my relationship with God, however, quite a lot of occasions, it’s simply love — it’s writing a tune to my brother, telling him to simply maintain on [because] life is difficult. That’s form of been the pure development for me. I don’t really feel like there’s been a shift mentally.”
