Story Behind The Song

Music plays a big role when it comes to opening up new perspectives in the minds of listeners. Music may not change the world or a system, but it does help to make us dream, give us hope, make us feel strong and even loved. Music can evoke powerful emotions in people. I am a part of the society we live in and everything that happens in this society effects me and my creativity, directly or indirectly. I'm not shy about writing and singing about what's going on around me or inside me. My music, especially the lyrics, reflects that. MISTER is about social struggle and escapes. It's not the only song on the album that talks about social injustice (Taking the Night Away). "Mister" addresses the plight of people who have been forced to leave their homes because there's no future there for them. It's about refugees and about the conflict and mistrust they face in the countries of refuge.
