While the single liefde is lang celebrates love, alsof stems from the doubt and denial that can arise in love. Maxim Ventulé (frontman) and Tom Gudde (guitarist and co-writer of alsof) play with truths, lies, and everything in between in the song. The result is a lyric that is not so much about love, but about living in denial.
Tom Gudde explains: “I was looking for a way to describe a gut feeling. Does this path I'm walking with someone lead me to happiness or to pain and sorrow? The song goes thematically beyond just being in love, describing more of the modern psyche. I think we are increasingly living in denial for survival and mentally distancing ourselves. It makes life more bearable.”
