I was at the blitz concert in Brooklyn they did before the album was released and at the show he mentioned playing the song at his dad's funeral. The part "You're the reason I sing, You're the reason why the opera's in me", he explained that his dad used to sing for a music society and when people die, he believes they leave things for you. He said his dad left him his voice because he hasn't had a voice that strong in many years.
