You know when you're young you think you will always be. As you become more fragile you reflect and you realize how much comfort can come from the past. Hymns can carry you into the future.

My mum was raised Jewish my dad is very scientifically minded and my school was vaguely Christian. We sang hymns in school. I liked the hymns bit but apart from that I can take it or leave it. So I had lots of different influences when I was younger.
