He said Biscuits & Jam, ”When I recorded the song, it was basically my first time really touring and being away from my family and being away from my wife—uh, at the time, my girlfriend. And so I started thinking, ‘Who else can really relate to this song?’ And I’m like, ‘Man, look at me over here crying about being on the road doing shows when these people are going overseas and away from their family and then their families not even knowing if they’re gonna return. So deep down I was like that’s the audience that’s going to really relate to this song.”
