And with Powa especially, I was dealing with violence. There's a real middle-class fear of conflict, of the lower classes rising up, of violence in the Middle East. But it's there, it exists; especially violence against women. It's this horrible reality that's always disturbed me, and I wanted to take hold of it in the songs." |
