Journey to “Lover Costing Average”
The other day, Poliphilos was reviewing the footage from Aurélie’s revolutionary fashion show at Ostara’s garden.

About “Stand By You”
The Story “Stand By You” started by me reading one of my favourite sci-fi books ever, Arthur C. Clarke’s fantastic novel “Childhood’s End“.

Journey To “All These Worlds Are Yours”
The other day, Poliphilos was visiting Phil Collins in Switzerland and they were listening to one of his all-time hits, ‘In The Air Tonight’. There, the talk went to the drowning incident. ‘There was no drowning incident!’ Phil said. ‘I’m sure there wasn’t!’ Poliphilos agreed. ‘Anyway, it’s interesting how one can base a whole album…

About “Red And Blue”
The Story I got the thematic inspiration for “Red And Blue” from Luc Besson’s movie Nikita: a secret government organization fakes the death of a female prisoner, then recruits her as a secret agent. She becomes good at it but struggles to find balance between professional and personal life. The song also references William Gibson’s…
