On Barbaric: “It can be a few lost love or it may also 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 earlier than you ask: this very lonely Christmas, about which I sing in Barbaric, nicely, it really occurred that approach. The songs are already fairly correct inventories of my life, I’m fairly open here on this album. Only typically the mysterious peeps across the nook.

On St. Charles Square: "I sing concerning the disagreeable experience of just lately discovering myself in a hideous basement flat. I’ll spare you the small print, however I’m fairly clear within the track. I’m not going to be the primary or the last to screw one thing up and should cope with penalties.”
