To me genres were always an imaginary things, they're just marketing channels.

Pain is as common as skin, we all experience it. It unites us all. Fortunately, that's not the whole story.

Art matters. It is not simply a leisure activity for the privileged or a hobby for the eccentric. It is a practical good for the world. The work of the artist is an expression of hope - it is homage to the value of human life, and it is vital to society. Art is a sacred expression of human creativity that shares the same ontological ground as all human work. Art, along with all work is the ordering of creation toward the intention of the creator.

Any religious, philosophical or political idea that doesn't lead one towards love ought to be forsaken

The whole idea of worship being associated with music, it gives you an impotence to make art that is true, that is honest and that opens the human heart to God and to reality.

I'm not one to call out an individual and say "I don't think that is honest." Who am I to know what is in their heart while they are singing it?

Art is the body's pronunciation of the soul.
