What sort of world are we in? Cos if it's this bad now, what's it going to be like for you, huh? 30 years' time, 10 years, 5 years? What's it going to be like?

Things were okay a few years ago, before 2008. Do you remember back then? We used to think politics was boring. Those were the days.

It was important for me to get some male pronouns in some of the songs. So I did it for “Real” and “Memo”, and then one song on the deluxe. It is kind of sad to me that we don’t have gay pop stars singing about men using a male pronoun, but that could change hopefully. I’d like to hear a gay artist express their sexuality in a really open way, but to be able to talk about sex is possibly new for gay artists. I’d like to see that in the mainstream. Music does feel like it’s in a much more accepted, tolerant place.
