He was admitted to the hospital, and we found out he had the most aggressive form of the disease. He died just over two weeks after the diagnosis. It was especially triggering for us as a family - we lost my father to cancer in 1999.\n\n\"I had this beat on my hard drive for a while - I’d considered just putting it out as an instrumental, but I could hear a vague melody in my head. As soon as Michael was admitted into hospital, words started coming to me to fill those melodies, and the song was written within days. I sent it to the choir to get properly recorded. In a ubiquitous twist of fate, they sent the finished track back to me when I was in hospital, by Michael's side, just a few hours before they switched off life support and we watched him take his final breaths.\n\n\"I don't really like to speak publicly about the meaning of my music, I like everybody to take their own meaning from the songs I’m involved with - but 'Forever' is about the feelings and emotions you go through as a family when you find out a loved one is battling a serious condition. Watching my mother’s unquestioned support. The hope we can make it through. The feeling of wanting to help, wanting to be there, but knowing that nothing you can do will make a difference.

I love Andrew Watt so much. Every time we talk on the phone, he’s like, 'I fucking love 'Church & State,' because I love when you read the Declaration of Independence.\n\n\"When the lyrics were coming together for that song, I just couldn’t stop thinking of the wisdom of Thomas Jefferson’s address to the Danbury Baptists. There’s so much wisdom in the Constitution, and even the notations on the Constitution are full of wisdom — the footnotes, if you will. What he said to the Baptist was intended to reassure them that they would be allowed to practice their faith, spirituality, religion, however you wanna refer to it, freely under the Constitution. But he also makes a really important distinction that we aren’t an autocracy. We’re not a theocracy. We can’t rule over people with our interpretation of an extremely opaque scripture and religion as it pertains particularly to the Christian religion.\"\n\n“And in my faith, even Jesus was clear about not ruling a people based on an interpretation of religion. Even Jesus said, 'Give unto Caesar what's Caesar's.' So I can’t get behind rules and laws that I know are secretly based on an interpretation of a religion that I can’t get behind.
