My hard drive with all my music was stolen in my car one fine afternoon in Stockholm, the very same fine afternoon we came home from our US tour, the very same day I was feeling thrilled to come home and start the process of finishing our new album.  Of course I had made a backup copy on my computer at home.  But for some reason a power failure in the building made that hard drive collapse too.  Unbelievable.  I was speechless for days."
