How did ‘Love Me or Die’ begin and develop?
There's a beautiful lake near my home called 'Virginia Lake'. I would speed walk around two or three times with my headphones on for the exercise.
One day I decided that the headphones were certainly going to make me deaf and walked without them. Music is, of course, great for motivating exercise and speed but the transformation without them was immediate. Not only did I really see the lake once I slowed down a little, but my mind was able to think and think creatively!
The idea for 'Love me or Die' started to form and would grow each time I walked around that beautiful lake.
