call conversation fit name particles scientists smallest song split word wrote
I was having a conversation with my father and he was talking about this thing - strangeness and charm. It's actually the name of the two smallest particles that there are when you split the atom, so I wrote a song around it. I even managed to fit the word 'hydrogen' in there. Isn't that a nice thing for scientists to call them though?

It's always darkness before the dawn.

I've learned not to hide behind a veil of irony - to talk about my work in a more honest way.
worry waiting insane
I can't wait to get on stage, because there you don't worry about whether you'll ever get married because your life is insane, or whether you'll ever have another boyfriend again, you don't worry about the typical boundaries of how your life has to be.

I'm obsessed with choirs, and always have been, because of that sense of overwhelming vocals.
falling-in-love book school
I wanted to be a witch when I was a kid. I was obsessed with witchcraft. At school, me and my two friends had these spell books; I always wanted a more magical reality. I had a little shrine at home and I did a spell to try and make the boy in the other class fall in love with me.
couple order healthy
I guess in order to say something to one person, I have to sing it to a couple of thousand. It doesn't make for healthy relationships.
couple cutting bird
My room is like an antique shop, full of junk, and weird stuff. There's a big sword in there. And a taxidermy bird, and a couple of birdcages. And a lot of newspaper cuttings. I used to have a weird thing about cutting out morbid headlines from newspapers, and collecting them. I was fascinated with drowning, which is kind of strange.
arms crowds release
I love that sense of release as you throw yourself into the crowd as hundreds of arms are carrying you.
queens always-trying singing
When I'm singing I'm always trying to get to the highest point possible. I'd fly to the top of Buckingham Palace to sing to the queen.
couple swimming age
The first album, for better or for worse, was done over from the ages of 17-22, with a couple of different producers. Some of it was recorded in an old swimming pool, some of it was recorded in a synagogue - it kind of was all over the place.
