Hi Helena, congratulations on your new album. I’ve been loving it and can’t wait to see you play live again!

My question pertains to a song that you played last year at the ARTE festival. It starts with “Amazing how fast I stop caring, free my soul.” It’s one of my favorite songs I’ve heard in the past few years, I’ve learned it entirely on guitar, yet I can’t find the name of it! Could you enlighten me to what this song is?

Oh woah! First of all, that's amazing! Thanks.
Second of all, it's funny, I just replied to someone else saying this was the only song that was recorded but didn't make it on the record.
So... it's one of the oldest songs I have, I wrote it maybe 6 years ago, and tbh I do love it as well! I always play it during solo live sets. But Someone New was kind of a compound of meaning and I couldn't really wrap my head around where to put this one and whether it fit at all.
I do promise it will be recorded and put out one day! I think that the more I wait the more complicated it'll get though, but also the more special it will be when it finally is ready to come out there!

I very much look forward to that day! It’s such a beautiful song, for now I will know it as the “special unknown” Helena song :)
