			{{quote\|I took harp lessons for half a year and they felt really good. And, you know, not that I can play a lot, I'm not an amazing harpist. But it's fun to be able to do.

			''Secret Door'' is the one song on the album that's really different. It's just harp and orchestra, basically. It's like when you're in a dream and there's this magical place and you wake up and you don't want to wake up and just like always trying to get back into that same dream.
