Sophie Interview

Posted February 11, 200718 yr

It's good to hear the word 'easychair' in 'Catch You'.
(laughs) I quite like having unusual vocabulary in songs. It's actually the first song I've released since I was in the audience where I've had no part in writing any of it - very liberating, bizarrely, and one of those 'right songs at the right time' moments.

There has been fierce debate over what the lyrics are in the chorus - is it 'run to where you want' or 'wonder where you are'?
It's 'run to where you want' but it could be a number of things. It could also be 'run to where you are',

Have you ever had a love stalker?
No, and I've never stalked anyone... Although if you really don't know when you're doing it then maybe I have! I've definitely had some girlfriends where they've got obsessed with people and read things into situations when there was nothing there.

But that is just the blind idiocy of falling in love, is it not?
Well, yes. Complete infatuation. Very true.

There have been some complaints, Sophie, that the single is not very easy to dance to. How do you plead?
(laughs) NOT GUILTY! You can definitely have a little shimmy to 'Catch You' and if you can't, the next one - 'Me And My Imagination' is a lot more danceable. That's a proper dance tune. But you can dance to 'Catch You'.

Except when you perform it you've been doing the usual 'standing still and pointing at things' routine...
I'm really predictable, aren't I? (laughs) I've been mainly concentrating on looking a bit unhinged. For 'Me And My Imagination' I might even learn a bit of a dance routine, you know...

These little chats will become a regular feature on your website. Perhaps for next week's we could invite readers to send in questions for you to answer. If there a particular topic you'd like to answer questions on next week?
Yes - cats.

CAT QUIZ!
Yes!

'Cat Quiz' is an idea so amazing it probably needs its own section on the website.
I think you're right.
