The singer of Take Me to Church will be answering your questions from 1-2pm GMT on Monday 18 February 1.52pm GMT LoBernardelli asks:Was there any song on the new album that made you feel most exposed and fragile? That you resisted and took longer to write, because it crossed you in a different way, more uncomfortable, more visceral?I think Nina Cried Power was the most difficult to write.

Exposed, fragile – I have a real love of the song Wasteland, Baby! because I am not a terribly hopeful person a lot of the time, so it was fun to externalise some of my more pessimistic outlooks. 1.50pm GMT _Frances_ asks:What’s your favourite type of food? Other than music-related activities what do you like to do in your free time? And what’s it like to be famous?

I live alone so it’s hard to justify cooking for one.Free time – when I’m home I like to go for the odd walk. I love swimming. Just hanging out with friends doing stupid boy stuff. You don’t experience fame as anything other than just people wondering if you feel any different, and it doesn’t. You’re just a bit busier and you feel the same. And you don’t know how to answer questions like that. I can go about my business without being stopped by fans. Hat and scarf, glasses. In Dublin I would be recognised a bit more but it’s easy otherwise. I have some of the best fans in the world, they are super sweet, respectful, kind and good-natured people. Continue reading…
