- “How many times have you fallen in love with a lyric that you thought went 'Show me a day with Hilda Ogden and I’ll despair,' only to find out that it actually reads 'Show me a way to solve your problems and I’ll be there.' I guess what I’m saying is that the song is always larger in the listeners mind because with it they attach imagery which is relative to their own personal experience. So it is your perception of what I’m saying rather than what I actually say that is the key”
- Seal, 1994.
