I don’t think the song is really being sad. I just feel like since I have lost all of them, I don’t want to really feel like they have left me spiritually. I still have them around me a kind of. They were all legends. So that’s why I say that a legend never dies,” he said.
He added that the song is dedicated to everyone who has lost someone close to them. The heartfelt interview gives fans a glimpse into the artist’s personal life and showcases the emotional depth of his music.
