“Just Like That” is, in many ways, the exact opposite of “God”
While I take a very ironic approach on “God” and don’t really mean a single word of what I’m singing, everything on “Just Like That” comes straight from the heart.
And while on “God” I bring out a pretty intense arsenal of instruments (in addition to plenty of analog and digital synthesizers, there’s also an ocarina and a melodica, as well as the sound of the antarctica ice shelf singing), “Just Like That” is just the piano and me.
The track almost didn’t make it onto the album because I was very unsure whether a piano ballad really fit with a mostly electronic production… and whether my voice could pull it off. But I’m happy with how it turned out.
Do I actually need to explain what this song is about?
I suppose I should, otherwise these wouldn’t be liner notes. But I’ll refrain anyway, because I know my listeners are smart enough to find their own meaning in this song.
All I will say at this point is: take care of what’s precious to you. So much on this planet is fragile. There’s a lot we can no longer save, for some things it’s not too late yet, and other things, well – those are entirely up to you, every single day.
