I have a working mate which saw you on the concert with Madonna when she was here and played, is that something for a real man?

-No, it was a really embarrassing show...but otherwise it could be a little bit nice to go on a concert like this...a little bit like seeing a braindead movie instead of a really difficult drama movie.

 

The song title Confessions of a criminal mind sounds if it´s taken from her  Confessions on a dancefloor but also the movie Confessions of a dangerous mind, nsome thought about this or was that which only happened?

-I got the idea from Confessions Of A Dangerous Mind …,so that songidead was really old.

 

The last song" Spoken Words" feels really political , is that something you missed in BB or which was your most political song?

-We have never done any politcial song in ByB and Spoken Words is more thoughtful thoughts which I give to you from me.

 

How did i came up to have a song like this, a talking song?

-I actually don´t know...everything with Homeland "only" comes up naturally...the music to Spoken Words have become a song in uptempo which will come on the record.
