π’ βWhile I was writing the songs, I was interested in what the people in the modern world need to survive the day and what they use as medication. The meds could be religion, love or a variety of medication that allows them emotional survivalβ¦ Iβm talking about those kinds of meds.β

π’ βMusic!!! My music allows me just that. For me itβs like something that chases off all the demons inside of me, something like good psychotherapy.β

π’ βNo, not at all. Every gig is a new challenge. Itβs like jumping into a pool, without knowing how deep it realy is. Because when you climb on that stage, you never know how your fans are going to react to youβ.

π’ βHmm, it was one of the most ambiguous songs. But reallyβ¦ Because itβs the only song that I, since I started writing songs, wrote from back to forth. I started writing from the last lyric and then worked my way up to the first one. And I never used to do it that way. And when I got to its beginning, I actually couldβve continued writing it. And then I realized that that song is very much about revenge, about the wish to inflict revenge upon someone.β

π’ βNo, I donβt think Iβm like that. I think that revengefulness is one of humanityβs worst characteristics.β

π’ βOooohβ¦ I miss my things, the fact that Iβm not surrounded by them, so the comfort of my own home. Nevertheless, I make an effort and give it my all to make everything look as much like my ordinary life as possible while Iβm on tour.β

π’ βSimply different. No day is the same. It has its ups and, of course, downs. It involves a lot of traveling, which means that at times it can be very exhausting. Actually, that entire way of life seems very nomadic. Oh, yes, it really is like thatβ¦ Weβre like a bunch of traveling, rockβnβroll gypsies, going about, traveling from country to country, city to city, playing their music and trying to put food on their tables. But at the same time, itβs a very romantic way of life. And very fulfilling. Every day we get the chance to perform in front of a large number of people, and thatβs an incredible experience. But pleasure comes with a priceβ¦ Physically, and mentally. Changing 150 towns on all continents in a 200 day tour isnβt all that simple. But I always say and think that weβre in a very blessed position, because there are so many people interested in this band and want to listen to us. So itβs completely natural that we bring the music to them.β

π’ βProbably the fact that we donβt follow trends or whatβs fashionable in music, we just follow our own ideas.β
