As backwards as it might sound, for a singer/songwriter to be able to touch people with their music, the actual process of writing is one centered on solitude: You have to be able to spend a lot of time with yourself and inside your own head, confirms Sweden’s Anna Ternheim, noting that that’s where the songs composing Halfway to Fivepoints originated. “Part of me likes being social and spending time with other people, but, with my writing, I’ve always had a big need for solitude. That’s when I get sorted out, put words on thoughts and feelings.” she says.
