on the extra, live acoustic version of Hopeless Tender on the "Let it Go" album:

"This is a song, to be more serious, that, uh, it sort started in Zimbabwe ... it started in sort of a strange moment, as a foreigner, I guess, I hadn't been there very long and it sort of appropriate for tonight's Calling All Crows in the sense that I saw, I was with some of my friends who play soccer with, and I saw a man whipping this woman with a stick. Pretty hard. And I went to say something, and my friends told me, like, whatever you do, don't say anything, like they looked me very seriously in the eye and said do not speak up, or, you know, it's not your place. Um, so, a pretty wild experience, because it was early on there, and, I don't know, it sort of speaks for itself I guess. And still I think there's no... there's no... it's hard to find a solution in situations like that because there's such a thing as a cultural difference and there's such thing as right and wrong, and sometime's it's hard to find the truth in between"
