[@stenleesmann2300]

For the life of me i can't understand how you can be 33 years into your songwriting career and still produce tunes like this. In the conventional sense, songs like this aren't supposed to happen. Bands/artists usually give up. Anton/BJM THANK YOU, you are my religion. This may sound like cringe or a cliche but I don't know what I would do without the music of BJM. This has defined me for the better part of the last decade and a half.

[@mrichards2788]

Well said, totally agree with you. What a talent, I'm so privaligised I got to see them at the Ritz Manchester.

[@mattsoda4732]

They layering of all the different sounds bakes a delectable sonic cake.

[@meinking22]

So damn good.

[@helloagain4546]

This reminds me of older BJM stuff but also fresh... I love how rather than forcing a "self re-invention" (like most artists think they have to do) - you just share your light, no BS... It's like an unwritten law "all artists must change what they do and if they don't thats recycling and that's boring"... What nonsense... Nothing can be boring if its fucking good and real. BJM is a huge inspiration.

[@protestthisyouloser1093]

This song has taken on a whole new meaning to me. After being pushed around the past two years of them trying to get me to get a vax that is now proven to never even been tested to block transmission. I mean. Am I living in an upside down world? I’ve been disowned by friends of 20+ years. Family, obv of my entire life. Just crazy to see people lose their minds over this…. All tbe while the evidence keeps coming out daily how corrupt and evil this all was. This song is my Mantra to standing my ground…. Alone or wirh an army…. No one tells me what to do with myself. When that guitar hits on this song, in between lyrics…. It gives me this feeling of contentment that I’ve not had in such a long time. I love people. Or I did. I never expected the world to be so divided like this. Oh well…. I’m with good people here…. All my BJM faithful … thank you

I was just thinking ' 'Prolific' would be most apropos

[@marcsalzman8082]

As being a bit of a word nerd, off the top of my head, I believe profligate means wasteful and prodigious means huge or gigantic or is prolific means great in output or frequent output which certainly fits Anton

Hi Anton, all the new music you’ve been making recently, especially under the circumstances of the current pandemic, has been really inspiring to me. I’m currently at university in Brighton UK, working on a project about the effect that coronavirus has had on creatives and their practice, specifically musicians. I know its hopeful of me to ask, but I’d be honoured to share your work as part of my project with some of your input. How has the pandemic affected the way you create music? What inspires you these days? What do you want to see change in the music industry in the future? What is most important to you during these times? I don’t wanna take up too much of your time, so I’ll leave it at that. And whether you read and reply to this or not, know that I’m thankful for your music always, especially during this time. Keep on keeping on man. Harvey, 19, UK.

[@antonfjordson]

i wouldn't say i am inspired as much as motivated. any of us could die at any time/// i figure fuck it, it's not about that, it's about how you lived that defines you... this is my evidence... not some bullshit hype flash in the pan/. my heroes didn't have to deal with all of this shit... all of it... name it. shows you how shit they were, really... who was still making music worth hearing at 53? i play all of it and write it.

[@peterhobart6109]

​@@antonfjordson I can't think of any of the 60's big shots that weren't simply living off their catalog in their 50's. Seems I'm always hearing how rough things were for many bands in the early days, and yet that is where they were at their most creative. You've never come across as above everything, and your music is uncompromised; it sounds like it just flows out faster than you can put it down.
