For me it has to be Grey Room. The first time I heard it it didn't do an awful lot for me. But it was my partner's [at the time] favourite on the album, and it quickly became mine as well. For some reason, some of Damien's stuff doesn't win me over straight away, but seeps into me instead. There isn't a song on 9 or o I don't love.

As a writer, and usually quite a dark writer, I think Grey Room is one of the few songs that really captures the emotion of the process for me. Just pushing and pushing people for inspiration, falling into desperation, destroying things, capturing things, trusting, hoping, losing. For me, Grey Room is a chronicle of just how hard life as a writer can be sometimes, as you trap yourself in stupid mindsets. Yet there's still that huge element of hope in it.
