What song reminds you of your first heartbreak?
I was seventeen. There was a girl who led me on, cheated on her partner with me, insisted she loved me, took the coward's route and pretended I didn't exist to make things easier. Easier for her.
It was drama. Collapse. I tearfully endured it, confiding in no-one. I longed for catharsis, and dramatic lyrics about love teaching me to lie and life teaching me to die was it.
This delicate, gentle, sad album is forever tarnished by that first brush with love.
