There was sort of like a tradition in British film making that you echo in your songwriting. Well I was brought up on that. I used to be drawn in by all these half an hour vignettes of people's lives. It comes through in your writing. I often find myself what happens to these people when the song ends.
Every verse is in the present tense, none of it is in the past tense.
It's always like every verse is exactly now. It's current which is like, bizarre. I've never heard anybody do that. But it completely works you know, from verse to verse time changes and two years have gone by. It's really interesting.
