    Apparently, if you listen repeatedly, streaming an album over the internet more than 27 times will likely use more energy than it takes to produce and manufacture the same CD. If you're a super fan, or someone who prefers the sound quality of CDs, then this is the option for you!

    I burn each CD to order, so there isn't a stockpile in my bedroom. I produce each one in a cardboard sleeve with an A4 lyric sheet.

lyrics

The psychosis lasted about four days.
The doctors said it was a difficult phase that you’d go through.
By the time you had been there for a week and a half,
You’d made lots of friends with the hospital staff; that’s what you do.
And it’s why I love you – the strongest woman in the room.

The challenge ahead was hard and uncertain.
Your pain was a strain and you were constantly hurting,
But smiled when you could.
I remember the day that you cut off some toes
Frustrated with waiting for necrosis to go, just wanting to get it over with.

And the nurses at the hospital ward who couldn’t believe
You’d scalpelled your own finger off while waiting
In a treatment room for a specialist, but you couldn’t wait one minute more.

Doctors tried to explain as if you didn’t know.
Who could know your pain better than yourself?
A slow fascination, took across your brain,
A scientific experiment based upon yourself.

And the number of times we took taxi rides
To see specialists that didn’t seem so special.
Yet a small few were heroes to you and saved your life.

The fact remains things are not the same.
You can’t work in the lab because of the pain and this hurts too.
So we change all our plans and start a new life,
Reimagine our future as husband and wife.
That’s what we’ll do, because I love you – the strongest woman in the room.
