crowd four jumps last months obvious seemed since single though touring
Since we've been touring the last four months or so, the crowd always jumps to it like it's a single or something, even though it never was a single. So it seemed like the obvious choice.
album best early favorite four ideas last led literally next sleep stuff three till trying zeppelin
We're trying to write the next album while we're on the road, kind of like Led Zeppelin did it in their early days. I know some of my favorite ideas come at like 8 in the morning, so I've just been an insomniac the last little while, like literally just up till 10 a.m. and I'll sleep for like three or four hours. And some of the best stuff comes out of that.
depends four happens moderate next period rain step three time
The rain was another step in the recovery, but it all depends on what happens over the next three or four months. We'll need more of a moderate rain over a long period of time to really help.
chicago lyrics road song tend wrote

Reydell and Swan Lake look like they haven't fared so well. They haven't gotten any rain down there.
best gang matters music realized written
With Dante leaving, it just tore us all apart. We realized the best music is written when you have no distractions, and all that matters at the end of the day is your gang of friends.
cool less looking maybe punishing
We're not looking at any big cool down, but maybe a little less punishing temperatures than we've had.
best bridge good
It's got the best bridge on the album. If there's any bridge connoisseurs out there, it's got a good bridge.
drought event overnight time took
It took us a long time to get in a drought and it won't take one overnight event to get us out.
act might work
What's our deal? I don't knowBut, I'll act as if it is what I think that it isIf it is, then this might just work
bit booked excited hopefully maybe month next point songs staggering studio test touring
We're kind of staggering the touring a bit at this point just to write more songs for our next record. We've got a month booked to just go write, which I think we're all excited about. And then maybe test 'em out just on tour, maybe in February, and then hopefully be in the studio for the spring.
