The moon upon the ocean is swept around in motion, but without ever knowing.
Night has brought to those who sleep, only dreams they can not keep.
Music is like a mirror in front of you. You're exposing everything, but surely that's better than suppressing. ... You have to dig deep and that can be hard for anybody, no matter what profession. I feel that I need to actually push myself to the limit to feel happy with the end result.
I think they find it - they find me quite confusing, because - they know the music, but they don't know anything about me ... because I keep a very private lifestyle so they end up ... making up stories as such. But I don't really concern myself too much about them.
You know love is everything you say A whisper, a word Promises you give You feel it in the heartbeat of the day You know this is the way love is
I'm not one for walking the beaches humming a melody. I love the discipline of sitting in the studio, writing and listening. That is my domain.

My core beliefs revolve around the idea that we should live to the best of our abilities-we should live and let live.
