Lena Scissorhands

0:20HostLena, first of all, congrats on the release of the album. Thank you. The response is really good.

0:27?Yeah.

0:27HostI mean, it's just been released last month. Now you're in the middle of the tour.

0:33?Correct.

0:33HostHow are you feeling, first of all?

1:15HostDid you know the guys before, the previous bands? I mean, the bands that you tour with, which are Amaranth and Dragonforce, right?

2:00HostAnd you also were supposed to tour a long time ago, but it didn't happen because of COVID probably, right?

2:49HostThey also kept their word in a way, especially in the music industry. I mean, show business, let's say like this. You know about show business. You've been in the industry for a long time.

2:59Infected RainA little bit. A little bit, yes, of course.

3:02?Of course.

3:03HostBut I've known your band for a long time, since maybe second album. Thank you, Arthur. Following your progress. And that's why I wanted to do this interview. Because, I mean, you're finally, I mean, it's hard work. A lot of hard work to go into it. And there was a chance to interview you. That's why I'm here.

3:30HostSo, everybody asks you already all kinds of questions regarding the album, right? And regarding the stuff. So, I will not ask directly about the album, but I want to ask about your experience regarding the album. Like, each album is a certain recording in time of your life experience, right? Right. Have you learned anything while, when you, like, have you noticed, like, what kind of change was in the past of albums? We're talking about albums, so it's like a recording. Have you noticed that something changed? Maybe how you've grown as a person? And have you, do you listen to your previous albums?

9:16HostWell, it sounds like she's more than a vocal teacher. She is a spiritual, you're a spiritual friend. So it's said like this. I don't want to say mastering a friend. Yes.

9:57?Shout out.

10:00HostSo you mentioned that you, all your songs, everything that you do is really personal and emotional, right? Do you find a border where you can say, like not to cross, how much of your soul can you put out in the world? I used to.

11:39?I mean, you said like in the last three albums.

11:42HostDo you think it's getting easier for you?

12:35HostIt's not selfish, because I interview musicians, right? And not only musicians, artists. And it takes of different levels and different levels of success. And what I found that you should embrace who you are, what you do, what you want to express. Because if you're going to fight it, it will not work, it will backfire. And what you're doing is right, I would say.

14:28HostSo it's how you can, it's the best way how you can express your emotions and who you are. So some people, I mean, does it actually, you know, like, because you write your personal stuff in the songs, right? Does it matter how people interpret it? Because sometimes they do it in a different way, you know? Yeah, I've got often a situation where people misunderstood my lyrics.

14:52?For example, even with Orphan Soul, they thought that I am an orphan, which it was just a metaphor that I used. I'm not an orphan. Both my parents are alive, or at least I think my father is alive. I don't, I didn't hear from him for a while. It was about a specific time in my life where I lived without both of my parents. I actually risked to be in an orphanage at that time as well. But it is more about family issues and how children often, even though they have children, their parents are there, they feel so lonely and misunderstood or, or just not seen, you know? Or, for example, often with other songs, you know, people misinterpret.

16:22HostAnd it would be really boring if there was just one answer to it. As a music lover, as a poetry lover. Right.

16:54HostAre you, I mean, you're in the middle of the tour. Are you, I mean, I know that your work ethics, you need to compose all the time and write and write lyrics. Are you working on something at the moment, even though the album just came out and you're promoting the album.

17:23HostI might know who it is, but I will not ask because you can't answer it.

17:29HostAfter the interview, yes.

17:38HostOkay, then I don't know.

19:20HostYou get inspired by many things. I know that.

19:23?Well, Lenna, I don't want to bother you too much.

19:26HostSo the pun is to finish the tour, have the featuring, write more stuff, write.

19:31Infected RainAbsolutely, always. Yes.

19:33HostI wish you a nice rest of the tour and a nice release. Thank you. And what song of Infected Rain should I put at the end of the interview? A good introduction to your band.
