I actually remember the day where we started writing the song.
I was bit sick with the flu or something just a little bit like ugh.
And I remember thinking on the way to the studio like "Oh my God. Back in the days, you know"
"I could party for four days in a row and still just be like, hi!"
"What's up?"
Like have the biggest range in my vocal and stuff.
And I was just like, "Aw, you know.
I was off.
The thing is when I write a song, I actually always write it in English.
It's like, I used to have a old punk band where we would sing in Danish.
But besides that, all the projects, music projects and songs that I've written throughout
my entire life has been in English actually.
What to say, you know?
Denmark is very flat.
It's a very sweet country, like very secure and sweet place.
There was so many parties.
I had so many friends like kinda lived in barns, you know like with their parents.
And they would have these parties and we would go out into the fields like super drunk
in the morning and just ah you know.
And it was just so amazing.
I just remember feeling so free and so careless.
When I was young I was just very, I would say very fearless I feel like.
I mean at least compared to now.
Like I feel like the older you get, the more philosophical you get about life and about
the fact that you have to die someday and all these things.
And I remember just as a kid it was all just one big party.
My favorite song growing up, I did have a couple of different ones.
It would probably be a Sonic Youth song.
Ah!
I mean around 18 I got really into Portishead, and then 20, M.I.A.
I think.
'Cause again obviously back then, you had like zero money.
I remember we were going from Odense, so the town that I'm from, we were going from
there into a town like four hours away.
And I remember me and one of my best friends, we were hitchhiking all the way.
And I remember the feeling of accomplishment that when we got there, you know?
And we made it just in time for the show that we wanted to see at this place.
It was just like, yeah!
We saved money, you know.
I mean obviously, this is the time also of the first love, the first time you fall in love.
And I remember the first time I was ever in love that my whole world just exploded.
So I think that line ...it's not that I have a specific memory of one that I was in love
with singing into my ear my favorite song.
I wish!
But it's that feeling of the first time that you fall in love.
Even though we were all going to school of course and had studies and this and that,
the important time was just the weekends.
I remember every Monday the only thing I was thinking about was just, what are we gonna
do next weekend?
What's gonna happen?
Who are we gonna hang out with?
Who's gonna have the party?
Like, ah!
It was the only thing that I was thinking about.
I've woken up to reality.
Maybe the sky is not golden all the time.
But I learned to cope with it.
This is the way life goes and that's it.
I guess I left behind at least some of the carelessness.
Back then it was all just one big party.
And the sky was just open with opportunities.
Everything was like, yeah!
Whoo!
Whatever!
And I mean, I still feel like that quite a bit actually.
But not as much.
So I've left some of that behind
Like there's no way that I'm gonna stop.
Not do or die of course but pushing the limits.
For me it was good to go through that.
You learn a lot of things 'cause you also learn where the limit is which is important.
