Short interview on the day of the concert at Blå Rock, Tromsø (Wednesday, 28.09.2005). Leven says (self-report) that Tromsø has a positive “end-of-the-world-feeling”; his love of Tromsø arose during four earlier visits, and he wrote some of his best songs in Tromsø hotel rooms. He is on a big Norway tour and has already played Oslo and Trondheim. On Elegy for Johnny Cash: Cash meant nothing to him at first, until the video for “Hurt” moved him; after that he came to appreciate the last albums in particular.

Summary in our own words; for the exact wording see the original.

Noen av mine aller beste låter har jeg faktisk skrevet på hotellrom i Tromsø.

Leven.
