Quote by Rick Springfield
I'd say that after my father passed my writing changed, it went deeper. Most would say 'matured' but I don't think I'd use that word in relation to my progress. I think 'change' is a little more accurate.

Summary
This quote suggests that the experience of losing the author's father had a profound impact on their writing style and content. Rather than using the term "matured," the author believes their writing has undergone a significant transformation. The word "change" reflects the idea that the author's grief and subsequent personal growth have influenced their artistic expression, resulting in writing that is more profound and introspective.
