On Barbaric: “It can be a few misplaced love or it can be about out of the blue and unexpectedly eliminating melancholy. And even in case you understand that love not exists, the belief is double-edged. As a result of it also means readability. And before you ask: this very lonely Christmas, about which I sing in Barbaric, nicely, it actually happened that approach. The songs are already fairly accurate inventories of my life, I’m fairly open right here on this album. Only typically the mysterious peeps around the nook.

On St. Charles Square: "I sing concerning the unpleasant experience of lately discovering myself in a hideous basement flat. I’ll spare you the small print, however I’m quite clear within the music. I’m not going to be the first or the final to screw one thing up and need to cope with consequences.”
