SW, Exhibit A - The raven that refused to sing, "It’s a very simple song, again about loss and mortality":

SW, Exhibit B - Permanating, "I'm very proud of the video for Permanating. As soon as I wrote this song I had it in mind that Bollywood dancing would be the perfect accompaniment, such a joyous form of dance for what is probably the most joyous pop song I have ever come up with. I hope it will put a smile on your face as it does for me.":
