Martin was interviewed along with co-writer Casper Ace for The Southern Suburbs Tatler about their song: “Where the Water Was.”

“Telling someone else’s story is a huge responsibility. We had to be careful to ensure we could stand behind every line of the song, since some people may find it to be controversial.”

Høybye says the resilience and resourcefulness inherent in indigenous knowledge are highlighted in the song.

“We as songwriters feel that if we can retrain ourselves to take care of water, in all its forms, we may simultaneously learn to address the challenges of environmental crises in constructive ways.”
