Question 1 ‘Sunset or Sunrise’ feels like it’s sitting on the edge of something big. Can you tell us about what inspired the song and how it took shape?

Sunset or Sunrise
I’ve been thinking. We are absurd to ourselves in the game of love. We can never fully know our lover’s experience; so we interpret. We analyse their gestures like critics reviewing a play.

Reflections on truth
People don’t like the truth Because it is too hot And too bright Like an uncomfortable sun That casts a long shadow. Because it’s too messy, it’s too complex, too hard to pin down, and too hard to hold still. It slips through your grip like waterflowing through cracks, finding every crevice.
