From the album Let's Start Again
"Strange Kid" is a bit of a strange song, or so it seems to me!
I remember well the day Bap finished writing Strange Kid. He played it over to me on his acoustic guitar, and I loved it - it was really cool and quirky. But there was something strange about it too. I could tell from the lyrics that it was about his Asperger Syndrome, which seemed weird because at that time Bap's diagnosis was still being kept private. He used to say he wanted to talk about it publicly one day - but not till the time was right.

When I told him what I was thinking, he seemed pleased that I "got it" so quickly, which puzzled me even more. "But I thought you were keeping your Asperger secret for now?" I asked, and his answer was an interesting one.
"Don't worry. If it's that obvious, nobody will get it" he laughed.
And as it turned out, he was right!
