parenting trying might
I'm trying to break any chain of negative parenting that I might have survived.
beautiful trying lines
There's been times when I've been standing in a line at a movie and someone's hit me with something really heavy about someone really close and how our music has helped them get through it. Even in our darkest moments we try and find something beautiful.
hard-times trying littles
I'm having a hard time trying to figure out how to say things. I'm a little exhausted by the process.

america april bringing few finish hoping last machines quite songs south tape
It's not quite done. I'm hoping to finish the last of the songs while I'm down (in South America). I'm bringing my tape machines and all that down. If I can come back and finish the last few songs in January, then it will be out in April or something.
attempts best direct disguises loss positive pulling qualify quiet record shaped though took
It's like we took our aggressions and shaped something positive from them in a very direct manner. Though we'd qualify most of the record as hard-driving, the two quiet ones (Parachutes and Come Back) could be our best attempts yet at pulling the disguises off of loss of life, and even love.
