![]() Mark: Cause he meant to say, "Heavenly Father, our hearts." So he kinda- "Dear holy farts." He was trying to say, "Dear Heavenly Father." And he said, "Dear holy farts." Did it offend you?" It was a pastor saying. Matthew: So he followed up with a text, in true Mark fashion, that was something hilarious that I totally missed until I got here. Mark: I mean, it hurt my feelings, but don't worry about it. But sometimes you'll get a text message and you'll just completely miss it. Matthew: And then he texted me something else, a video that I don't know… You know how sometimes– This is my defense. Matthew: No, Mark texted me on March 6th of 2021, telling me how much you love that song. I love that song." That's very rare for Mark over here.

He's stayed in Christian music, and he's been very successful. Mark: Millions of times, but it's the truth. Mark: And I said on the phone, I said, "Well, you can go, you can cross over as long as you take the cross over." And he remembered that. They were wanting him to use… His record label was wanting him to go into Christian as a way to go into secular. And we talked on the phone briefly, and he still remembers what I said, 'cause what happened was we didn't talk about this in the interview. We had a mutual friend, and she was really helping him get his career started as a songwriter. Mark: I met Matthew West actually over the phone.
