itself quite nicely to other elements of Southern roots music, you know from the
whole mystery and interesting folklore to the tales from the swamp. I think it all
kind of comes together and connects in quite a nice way, where you can tap into the
darkness and the mystery of it all, and pull quite a lot of stories out of that sector of
the world. How I came
across it? I don't know. I
think it's just always
been a bit of me,
[chuckles] you know,

story or a poem or
drawing a picture, it was
always where I ended up.
I love combining beauty
with darkness and I
think the Deep South is a
place I love to visit. I love
the swamp very much.
It's incredibly peaceful
and beautiful, but then
on the other foot, it's
incredibly dangerous.
It's not a place you'd
want to be lost on your
own without a paddle

quite concerned. It's definitely a very dangerous landscape.
BiTS: How very true that is!
KKH: Absolutely. But equally it's the most – if you can sit on a swamp boat and have
a tour without any concern, the world can be your oyster, and you can just enjoy it.
It's genuinely so peaceful, stunning. I love the humidity and the warmth. It's a
comfort for me, you know, but obviously there is that dark side and I think everything
in the world is black and white. Sorry, everything in the world is grey. Nothing is
black and white, all white. So I love to combine the darkness and the light, and I think
you can do that in art really nicely.
BiTS: Yes indeed. Tell me something about the making of ‘Walk With Me Through
The Fire’.
KKH: The song or the music videos?
BiTS: Well, both in fact. Let's start with the song. How did the song come?
