Love, I have wounds Only you can mend You can mend I guess that's love
'I've been listening to a lot of Leon Russel and Elton John and and what I love about Elton John and Leon Russel is their reference to blues, dark blues.
I was playing a few gigs and was just setting up the band, doing gigs out of town and I come back and then I do three days of writing in my flat, and it was an old time in some ways, I watched three movies and listened to three movies in a row, and I wouldn't leave the house for three days and I'd listen to a load of music and films and then I'd write for a straight six hours. If you spend three days in your flat writing, things can get a little darker than it would be if you were writing songs at a festival, so a lot of those songs are along those bluesy lines.'
