This is from an interview with rocksound and matt:
Tell us about the interestingly titled 'To Die Like Mouchette'
''Mouchette is a French film from the 60s. I studied film in university before the band kicked off and I've always been interested in different cinema. When we were writing the record, Sky was showing ‘Mouchette’. It’s about a girl who had a lot of family trauma. She has to be the main responsible person in the family and look after her disabled brother, all that burden is thrown on her shoulders. She’s just a girl and she’s forced to grow up right there and then and take on those responsibilities. It ends quite tragically - she gets raped by a screwed up guy and dies accidentally. It’s not a song about that film but it made me think about the way that innocence can be really flipped and taken away quite quickly from people.''
