There is a lot of humour in your songs. Aren't you affraid that the audience find you simple? Once a journalist wrote about you that you are either geniouses or idiots.
"Absolutely not, these songs are not humorous at all. I still get moved again and again when i come to a beautiful line in the lyrics.
