“For women who do not love us, as for the "disappeared", knowing that we no longer have any hope does not prevent us form continuing to wait.

“There's a lot of craft in songwriting. The divine inspiration is when the idea comes. It may be a riff. It may be a word. It may be a phrase. It may be a title.

I've literally sat down and written a song from beginning to end, almost complete lyrics and everything without ever stopping...in two minutes.
