The Songs of "Oh My God" with titles like "Hail Mary" or "Seven Devils," but also for the search of spirituality. He had used the exclamation mark as a "bread crumb path to something Religious," explains the 31-Year-old, who moved back from Los Angeles to his hometown of Kansas City.

He was not religious, said Morby "The 405", but the Religion and the relevant vocabulary are in the Midwest everywhere. And at home, he has religious pictures on the walls, such as Saint Cecilia of Rome, patroness of musicians. "I am interested in this art, but just as the culture of the Wild West interests me."
