I don't get recognised in London or at home either - very seldom anyway. Either that or I look so crazy no one wants to come up to me.
Being in the studio is a really romantic time.

There's a restless feeling knocking on my door today...
The smile on your face lets me know that you need me, there's a truth in your heart that says you'll never leave me, and the touch of your hand says you'll catch me whenever I fall.
