"The song How Do You Like My Earrings from the new
album Someone With a Slow Heartbeat was originated on a train where
I met a friend I hadn’t seen for a very long time. She had very strange
earrings, I noticed. Then I found out they were screws from the broken jaw of
her boyfriend. He had just had them taken out. And she wanted to wear them to show
to the world that her boyfriend recovered and he’s all right. For me the song symbolizes
overcoming something hard in life, moving to the next base and the desire to
show it to the world. To show that you have made it, that you were capable of
it and now finally a new era is coming." //Charlie Straight
