Even if I know that really it's not a great song, even if it's a naff song but I have a good memory of it, then to me that's a great song.

When I went travelling around Europe there was the Eurovision song contest on, and I got a bit dunk and we missed our train to Budapest the next day. Anyway, when I got back I kind of realised how many songs there were about people giving up things for somebody, so I thought I'd make a song about giving up things I don't have. These elaborate things that I don't have that I could give up to somebody, and I kind of thought there was kind of some sweet sentiment in that.

While I was travelling and I kind of had the classic realisation - that I guess most teenagers have at some point - that time's gonna run out and that's not in my power to change that.

Obviously I still gig on my own, but I've always heard my music with a band.

Even if I know that really it's not a great song, even if it's a naff song but I have a good memory of it, then to me that's a great song.

Truth is mighty and it will prevail.

I think the lesson that I learnt very early on was to listen to people you work with, because you're all in it together.
