Imorse/inatt satt jag och funderade i tänkarposition med knytnäven som stöd för hakan och även resten av mitt tunga intelligenta huvud. Jag tänkte: Nu har jag gjort musik i så många år att jag kanske borde ta och lägga på ett kol, så nu gör jag det genom att släppa en ny grym låt och till skillnad från det ni hört tidigare av mig så håller detta helt klart högre standard!
