On the album Utopia, Travis has a single called “My Eyes,” and on the track he goes into a little bit of detail regarding his feelings around Astroworld. The inspiration behind the song, he says, is to let them know he is hurting too. “I have concerns, things that I think about, and the things I see on a day-to-day basis. I think about them and every day I want to find change in the things to make them better. Make myself better. It is just like I go through things like everyone else. And even recently I went through something I could never imagine.”
In the end, the tragedy is something that will live on in for a while. But as Travis waits for the civil court date, it is good to the families are one step closer to getting closure.
