My life was rough growing up too, so that song always give me something to hold onto, that it’s going to be a lovely day then, a lovely day still, even though it was rough at that time. The lyrics, he say, “When I wake up in the morning and my heart is filled with pain.” Then I missed that part, but then he’d say, “It’s gonna be a lovely day, lovely day, lovely day.” Me likes the happiness. In the night is the best time to go, late at night. That is where I spend most of my time still, but in the night, because in daytime a lot of people is there. They have this next river called Bath Fountain where your water come from the rock and it’s hot, like boiling water. Me carry them to that river because me personally feel like that river bring a lot of good meditation towards even my music. Me try to share that energy with as much people as me can.

I’ve been going to that river since I was very young, and the same energy it bring then is the same energy it bring now. We go to the river, the same river where me grew up. Him grew up on that side, so while I was going to school, we spent time on Tyrone’s side. You have this place named Sandhills where my cousin Tyrone is from. Well, them fix part of the road now, but that don’t change much. In the country was more of nature and you can count the street lights and everything where I’m from. While growing up with my grandmother and my grandfather, I learned a lot of things and it was a very humble beginning where we never did have cable and everything. My grandfather, they’re managing white rum, so him don’t really go to church and everything still. She grew me up in a church same way even when me no want to go to church sometime – she always forced me, roughed me up to go to church same way – but my grandmother, she’s a pastor still. I was with my grandmother and my grandfather, grandma mostly when I was going to primary school, high school. Can you tell us a little more of where you came from and what the surroundings were?

I was watching the Abundant Life documentary that you made and I felt like in that you feel the spiritual power of music.
