LEAF OFF / THE CAVE

In this song I was playing with thoughts of enlightenment / salvation. How the sense of being right and finding something that feels true can lead to an euforic and exuberant state of mind.

I invited Sanderson Jones from The Sunday Assembly to imitate one of their gatherings which are open to any non-believer, believer or doubter and their motto is ‘Live better, help often and wonder more’. We filmed the video at a school close to where I grew up in Gothenburg, together with Slynkören, Castlewoods and some of the musicians that are joinig me on tour. It was directed by Mikel Cee Karlsson who’s done my documentary and many of Junip’s and my previous videos. Once agian I feel Mikel found a great balance beteween humor, seriousness and awkwardness. —

quote from the lyrics: ’Take a moment to reflect where you’re from, where we’re going, who we are. Let reason guide you. Make the light lead you out.’ Leaf off - To take the leaf from the mouth - to speak clearly, speak out, speak one’s mind. Idiom refers to The Fall of Man and how Adam and Eve covered themselves with fig leaves. ‘To take the leaf off’ - would mean to expose the naked truth.
The Cave - inspired by The Allegory of the cave, or Plato’s Cave. But also as a metaphor for the cosy dark home that might limit us from knowledge of the world.
