SUMMONER'S TALES...
"Water tends to help a state of mind. My relationship with water is pretty close because I was born by a river, by the sea. All of those symbolic aspects of water, rivers and rain are very important to me, obviously, as a songwriter, it's a symbol that you can use again and again and again. And people understand it. They understand it deeply because we are water. We're affected by the tides, affected by the moon pulling the water in our body. So we think differently."
