And he's playing songs that he wrote in 2017 and played in working men's pubs around Scotland. The same songs go to number one. So, not just that he's become better. He's the same guy. >> Yeah. >> The same guy. and maybe his production's improved, maybe his recording quality has improved, he's got better mastering and his voice, voice coaching's got a bit better, but he's largely the same person.

1:52>> He hasn't changed. And he has this quote halfway through and it really spoke to me. And he said, "Fame doesn't change you. It just changes everybody around you." >> Yeah. >> And that when you're on your way up, everyone roots for you because you remind them of their dreams. When you're at the top, everyone tears you down because you remind them that they gave up on them. That really Yeah. that spoke to me. >> I wrote an essay on this because I'm a >> psychopath.
