History
Of the songs chose for the album, Harper said;
“ |
My songs are my diary, and the love songs are a great part of the emotional journal...not long ago we made a tally of categories of my songs. It was pretty loose, you know, agit prop, humour, social commentary etc..., but there was a surprise in it. 39% of the songs involved love in one form or another. Actually I was amazed. [1] |
” |
Of the individuals referred to within (or by) the songs Harper stated,
“ |
Two of the women are Swedish, one of the men has left the planet and the other is related. Now there's some arcane trivia. [1] |
