There are some songs on [Ghost‘s debut album] Opus [Eponymous] which are like that. I ought to have written them in one other key. I ought to have detuned them to extra totally… And it isn’t too late; I can do this.”

I had an actual imaginative and prescient for that report. I had an actual imaginative and prescient for that band. It actually actually did not go wherever. So when that occurs… When you write a love letter and that simply disappears into the void, you’d simply attempt to distance your self from it as quickly as potential and, and that is what I felt.”
