I had just mentioned to Gavin that I don’t see the song as being religious and so I have deliberately stayed away from phrases like “souls at war” which is very much Christian Biblespeak.

I don’t know how many people out there will ever read this lyric, but when they do, I want to meet them where they are...not where I am...that’s why I write a song with Jesus in it that has a calypso feel to it and I write about issues they may have without trying to tell them they had better get ready or they’re going to hell..you want to see a room empty quickly....lol

Much of what I write and produce is with this thought process in mind....I leave the P/W to others and they do a great job...but it’s not my calling...although I do write them occasionally

A bit of a long way to say...I’m cool with chaos...lol

Creators of music have a responsibility to their craft. When they have finished using all the notes and words, they must pass them down to the next generation with a simple request. “Use these to create new music.”...Steven McDonald
