You fellas on Twitter?? “Breathe Again” is ahhmazing!! Spoken: A lot of people are confused. They think it’s a worship song. That’s what’s great about music is it can be left up to interpretation. With me, my wife is one of the most inspiring people that I’ve ever met. Truly feel like God created her specifically for me. I promised her I wouldn’t write a bunch of songs about her. Some of our past records have probably three or four songs about my wife on each record. Our Illusion Record, which you mentioned Through it All earlier, I tried to dial it back a bit and not have so many songs about her. I figured on the new record on Breath Again, I should have at least one. Seneca: O k a y . Well, you know what? We got to put a shout out to his wife because she’s the inspiration for the music. Spoken: T h a t ’ s awesome. As far as Take my Breath Away, she’s very inspiring. It’s really that. She’s one of the most inspiring people, one of the nicest people. She goes above and beyond when it comes to trying to meet people where they’re at and to encourage them. Luckily, she’s my voice of reason most of the time. Seneca: How do you balance working and with all the travels and being the husband? How does that not ... Spoken: In the end it is a juggle. It is something that is a constant jiggle of to try to juggle priorities. Luckily for me, one, God is right in the middle of everything. He makes a way. He makes it possible. Another, my wife, she shows a ton of grace through the whole situation of me being on the road and me traveling. I have two children as well. I have a nine-year-old son named Jackson and a four-year-old son named Hudson. Being on the road takes a toll on everyone. Somehow, someway, it always works out. That doesn’t mean it’s not hard to be gone but there’s a greater purpose. My family understands that. We’re super involved at our church. We’d be trying to reach out to people whether I was on the road or not. 15 PAGE | ICONIC MAGAZINE
