It depends on which one of us writes the song. I mostly write my songs all the way through for all the instruments and then I present it to the other guys. I write almost all the lyrics. Dana is the riffmaster. When he has a song, he's got like 5 or 6 riffs, which we put together. Maybe I add another riff and then I put a vocal melody on it, and a lyric. Or Anden writes a riff, and then we play it instrumentally for half a year, until he comes up with a lyric, because he's very lazy about that.

A guy that worked at our old label, Gift Of Life, started working for Renate when Gift… was having difficulties. Now he's at People Like You.

First we just thought about doing the 10" for them, because it's a pretty small label, but they were very nice to us and we trusted them, so we stuck with them for a while.
