  • Covered Up: His version of Pere Ubu's "Final Solution" is better known than the original.
  • Heartwarming Moments: "I'll Fall With Your Knife", an effective and mature Silly Love Song:
    Well if the birds can reach the sky, to this land I'll be with you
    Till the sun bursts from your side, with my hands I reach to you
    When you think your chance is passing by, when you blow your moon away
    I'll bleed like the reed, fall with your knife
    It's here I'll be with you
  • Signature Song: "Cuts You Up", his highest and longest charting single in the US.
  • Sweet Dreams Fuel: His softer, warmer, ambient and spacious tracks, including "Canvas Beauty", "God Sends", "All Night Long", "Indigo Eyes", "Huuvola"
  • Tear Jerker: "Marlene Dietrich's Favorite Poem". Holy shit.
    Old eyes skim in creasing lids
    A tear falls as she describes
    Approaching death with a yearning heart
    With pride and no despise
    Hot tears flow as she recounts
    Her favorite worded token
    Forgive me please for hurting so
    Don't go away heartbroken no
