    "comment": "Former Cocteau Twins bassist Simon Raymonde, the head of record label Bella Union, was considering shutting the label down due to financial troubles, but after hearing a demo version of \"White Winter Hymnal,\" he was motivated to continue going on and signed Fleet Foxes to the label based on how much he liked the song.\n\nRaymond reveals, \"[A friend] sent me this demo of a track called 'White Winter Hymnal.' I played it when I went back to my room that night. This was when I was just about to give up doing Bella Union, if you could believe I would do such a thing, and I heard this track and thought, 'I have to sign that band.'\n\n\"That saved my life, that song. And I wrote to them that night, a very, very, very long letter and I heard back from Robin, the singer, within a couple of days.\n\n\"It just turned out he was in Norway too, visiting some family, we met up and we got on like a house on fire and here we are I suppose. The Fleet Foxes thing really did change my life in every single way, because it gave me the belief.\" https://tinyurl.com/yv5mk87x",
