There are many who criticise the United Nations. And those of us who know this institution well know that it is not immune from criticism.

If you can make the song a soundtrack to what you're living at the time, I think that's the most important part of a song. ↗

It's important that I get time to run, to just go for a jog for about 30 minutes. It helps with my voice, but it also kind of gives me a little bit of time to myself - and you get to see a city. ↗

Lyrics are so important, I hate every second of writing them, but it's something I take great pride in when it's finished. ↗
