The video has a slightly different meaning to the album, but it's self-explanatory. Adding The Taliban! was an idea I got from the news, but Golriz came up with the idea. She thinks I'm funny: that's what she likes about me. Dawn is a Britten transcription. Yes, it's available: look at my portfolio. Something for MPL to publish. The other three interludes require multiple guitars. Imperfect Love is the official homage to Taylor Swift. After Midnight is an improvisation I made in Central Park, Wellington. Got hit on afterward... It's Gonna Sink In is a lyric about entering the shared trance state that I'm cultivating with Taylor and Sir Paul, while the video adds a climate change message. Circumventing Death was something I did for Jane and Chlöe. Mike is Jane's father. Watch Her Go! is my dig at the old pros who doubt Taylor can make a musical. Stolen Years was actually for Taylor, but the video moved Barbara Graham.👋 Sunrise was a lyric that I was working on, but decided it would be a better poem. Would've come out like Here Comes The Sun...

I feel guilty that I'm not supporting the cause at Question Time, but it's not an option. My detractors have concocted a pattern of supposed disruption (which they blame me for). They told me via porn that some new rules were to apply to me. I didn't care for those rules, so I'm avoiding the Prime Omelette. Hence I wrote a song for people to play when they're sad. The EP turned out really different: that's Taylor's influence.
