Jon Crosby quotes about
song want way
Sometimes you sing songs about the way you want to feel more than the way you actually do feel.
song pain water
Just having the pain of being alive without anything else, whether it's good or bad. There's a lot of serious songs on the record, you know. That song is just about feeling like a fish out of water, feeling like you don't belong on the planet sometimes.
song real moving
You can lose people without them dying, and I have, from moving, from traveling. The emotion is real, it just doesn't actually have to do with death. I'm singing about what I know, and it's a song about longing for somebody who's disappeared in your life.
song thinking feelings
I've never really had anybody close to me die. I think the song is about a feeling that I have that, it still applies. It's a feeling of longing, once again.
song thinking mind
So I think it was a good thing It was a little surreal watching Leo scream 'I'm not going to die today!' with our music playing - that was the last thing on my mind when I wrote the song.
american-musician bad happy knew label major opportunity
I'm really happy with Elektra, I don't have anything bad to say about them at all. I always knew a major label was the right place for me to be. I never really had an opportunity to go to an independent label anyway.
american-musician definitely expecting incredibly played surprised
The audience that surprised us the most was definitely Paris, when we played there last. They were just incredibly into us and we weren't expecting it at all.
american-musician soundtrack
I want to do a collaboration or some kind of side thing or some soundtrack work. Because I've been doing this for years and years. I'd like to just step out and try something different.
american-musician maybe
The two records are very different. I guess, on the second record, that's more where I was at. Its not that I'm more well-adjusted or anything, it's just that what I wanted to sing about maybe was more the way I wanted to feel.
added american-musician came eight happened months number single took
We were number one most added at radio, when the single came out and that's much different. It took like eight months for any radio to happen on the first record, so a lot more support has happened right out of the box.
american-musician gone pop remember rock
Back then, I remember there was a lot of alternative pop going on - that slow, weak, kind of apathetic independent rock stuff, but that's gone now.
american-musician
I wanted to do that again but, when I went to look for chants, I didn't want to do it in the exact same way.
american-musician dwelling escape music negativity starts
Sometimes music is an escape from things, from the way you feel. It's cathartic. Dwelling in the negativity all the time, it starts to not be real.
american-musician people record
I didn't want the record to be cold and I don't think it's cold at all. I felt it was very people oriented.
