It wasn't easy, really.
_ Which one was the most struggled about?
_ _ Well, weirdly, one of the ones that sounds most [E] stripped down, Lemon World, was really difficult

We wanted it to sound kind of effortless or casual, _ sort of dream-like or something.

[E] _ [B] Once you get into a position where you have an audience, and we're lucky that we do,
and we really respect our audience,
then I think it's important to _ be involved in causes that need help. _ _ _ _ _ _
