couple trying lovers
That's the thing about letting old lovers go. You don't stop loving some of them. There are a couple you love no less than you ever did. Not to mention namesbut I'm still in love with a couple. You're not going to try and make it work again, but if they needed you, you'd drop everything.
song best-love pain
I think all the boys that write the screaming stuff would write the best love songs... because they have the most to hide. The guys that are in the most pain are usually the ones with the biggest hearts.
trying music-love i-love-music
I gave up trying to please others and started playing for myself, and because I love music, things naturally happened then. Funny how that works.
love war fighting
Sometimes you are forced to defend your beliefs. Sometimes you are forced to look at relationships that aren't positive anymore. There are times when I have had to make peace with the fact that I am at war. And sometimes you have to fight those who do not want love to conquer all.
asking life means needing people stories word
The word 'confession,' to me, means needing to be absolved, ... I'm not asking for forgiveness. I'm not asking people to understand. I'd like to think that I tell stories and sometimes my life weaves through it.
build great touch wall
Sometimes I think you want me to touch you, how can I when you build a great wall around you.
matt talk
I think musically, if you talk to (drummer) Matt Chamberlain, he'll tell you it's really complicated rhythmically.
lose piece vegetarian
When it's all said and done we will lose a piece to a carnivorous vegetarian
barefoot chicken fried involve piece
I have my own parties. They involve being barefoot with a piece of fried chicken and margarita in each hand.
acquired control everybody hairy potato taste wants
You can't control your popularity; I know I'm an acquired taste - I'm anchovies. And not everybody wants those hairy little things. If I was potato chips, I could go a lot more places, but I'm not.
bread garlic mushroom pasta
It makes me think of mushroom pasta with dripping garlic bread and butter, not margarine, no margarine on this record, it's all butter.
dark horses mean
It's as if the horses have come to take us back, to descend, to find the dark side. By dark I mean what's hidden, not necessarily satanic.
derivative slightly
A lot of songs are derivative of each other. Sometimes you need to take a departure from what you do to something that's slightly different in order to get inspiration.
form
I'm driven by the idea of characters and the song-cycle form is similar to a musical.
