Bastille – Poet Lyrics 11 years ago
Yes jse9 is right - I have not seen that interview but the song is clearly inspired by Shakespeare's 81st sonnet, part of which goes:

Your monument shall be my gentle verse,
Which eyes not yet created shall o'er-read,
And tongues to be your being shall rehearse
When all the breathers of this world are dead
