In The Heat was a poem that I wrote the as a teenager at the age of only 15 so in a way it’s also a meeting with my own soul and my own beliefs as young. It’s a break up song, a song about depression, sad love and finding strength from God and turn that power into selflove. The lyrics are about suffering from burning love for a person who has turned cold and has deserted you for irrational reasons and no options to make up – A song about ignoring the meaning of life after having lost your partner in life – For when love is lost it’s so easy to feel alone and in the dark – shutting out happiness, hardly being able to listening to the one true friend who might be trying to cheer you up. Meanwhile the world goes on and other people need you in their lives. There is so unfairness to life and sometimes you just have to let it go and accept that this door has been closed and you are have another destiny waiting for you. Otherwise your heart will be hardened and hate will eat you up and for what purpose? And if you want to connect with a higher purpose of life and ask God which way to go all you need to do is to listen to your heart and you can only do that if you are not filled with anger and a feeling of unfairness. The music was written and recorded today as I thought the lyrics had a positive message which is much needed today when so many people live with solitude and distance, and so many individuals are searching for a higher purpose with life – and true love. Love will leave you in the heat one way or the other. You cannot claim it but you can accept the gift when it comes to you. At the time I was listening to the Beatles at lot. Could be that unconsciously I was influenced by Hey Jude? But the actual inspiration for the poem was a friend who was very sad that her girl friend had broken up with him.
