That song came at the moment when we really needed it. We were working on the third record and just starting to feel like it didn’t have enough songs or wasn’t sure where it was heading. Then I remember that was the one where the lyrics came very quickly. Basically Rostam started playing the main chords… y'know you’re lucky when you hear some music like that and then you start getting a melody and lyrics… But very quickly – maybe it’s because it’s a bit of a folk song – I kinda came up with almost all of the lyrics in the room which is for me, as someone who can really pour over word choice and drive myself crazy to come up with most of the lyrics in the room, is this one in a million thing which makes me very happy.
