The next song I wrote in Paris years ago in a dream. So I didn't really write it, the universe wrote it.

Civilization is a failure. We need to think what we can do together in love and peace.

The best way to do that is to pick up a new instrument or an instrument that you don't typically write on and see where it takes you. Whether it's using an acoustic guitar, or piano, or electronics as tools, all of these lead to creating different types of songs and I used all of these methods for this record.
