- I Believe -
I was 12, KTF had just come out and I didn't know about the band then. My older brother (24) was living in an apartment quite close to us and I was over there quite a lot. He'd just bought KTF and put it on. When those first power chords of I Believe bellowed out of the speakers I was hooked for life. Then my brother took me to their concert in Stockholm in April 1993. Man what a show that was...!

- These Days -
It's not connected to any particular memory. It's just that the song touches me so much. The melodies, the melancholy, the energy. Just everything about it.

- Something To Believe In -
Now this one. This is - the - one. Every harder/tougher thing I've ever gone through in life. Wether it were breakups, tough choices, leaving/staying/enduring, working through difficult obstacles, but also great achievements I have done and other awesome experiences such as the birth of my kids and marrying my wife. This is the song that reflects them all. And over the years the things I connect to it keep stacking up. Listening to it is like reading my own f*cking diary. Memories come pouring back and everytime I hear it it's almost overwhelming. This one, together with These Days, are the two songs that are going to be played at my funeral when that time comes. That's how much they mean to me.
