15:20 PMDev Hynes on the liberation in faith of creation: "I started questioning a lot of things and I basically got to the conclusion that, if someone is a writer they write maybe for themselves at home, as a release. Maybe they write for an article, an interview, or maybe they write for something else more specific. I started to look at myself maybe like that and realizing it’s okay to make music that isn’t for people to listen to, if it’s a sense of therapy. I don’t need to feel bad about that, and maybe at some point I’ll feel like I want to share it. Maybe I can be a little bit more focused. That’s something that never really happened to me before. I was always focused in a sense of determined what it was I wanted to do, but I realize that basically this is the first time in my life that I was aware that no matter how small or big or whatever, there will be people listening to what I release." win.gs
