I literally left school and went straight into music via art college for a year, and I've been so involved in my job of writing songs that the more actively involved part became channeled into standing on the stage and saying things that way.
We usually never got out of there before four or five o'clock in the morning. Every morning. So it was rough.
I recorded the song live in front of an orchestra, and yes, I was very moved, I was in tears.
