e Podcast of Revelations

‘So, it has been a crazy year for you,’ Marcelo began, in his ver y good

English.
‘Oh yeah. It has been quite a ride,’ said Nora, tr ying to sound like a rock
star.
‘Now, if I may ask about the album . . . Pottersville. You wrote all the lyrics,
yes?’

‘Mostly, yes,’ Nora guessed, staring at the small, familiar mole on her le
hand.
‘She wrote all of them,’ interjected Joanna.

Marcelo nodded while the other guy, still smiling toothily, fiddled about
with sound levels via a laptop.
‘I think “Feathers” is my favourite track,’ said Marcelo, as the drinks
arrived.
‘I’m glad you like it.’

Nora tried to think of a way she could get out of this inter view. A
headache? A bad stomach?
‘But the one I’d like to talk about first is the first one you decided to

release. “Stay Out Of My Life”. It seemed such a personal statement.’
Nora forced a smile. ‘ e lyrics say it all really.’
‘Obviously there has been some speculation about whet her it refers to the
. . . how do you say it in English?’
‘Restraining order?’ offered Joanna, helpfully.

‘Yes! e restraining order.’
‘Um,’ said Nora, taken aback. ‘Well. I prefer to get it all out in the song. I
find that stuff difficult to talk about.’
