And the only thing constant was the constant reminder she'd never change. |
As hot as it's been with no rain, anything that hasn't been watered is pretty well dried up by now. I would think people's lawns and gardens are burning up if they haven't been watered. Non-irrigated crops are probably suffering pretty bad. Probably, the fire danger in those areas, of course, is going to be higher. |
Every record, you want it to be different, and you write differently in different cities. We wrote a song in Spain, we wrote a song in Chicago ... and when you write lyrics on the road they tend to be more psychedelic. |
I love it, but I always love new stuff. |
I think we're scared of getting thrown into a Turkish prison, honestly. |
It took us a long time to get in a drought and it won't take one overnight event to get us out. |
It's got the best bridge on the album. If there's any bridge connoisseurs out there, it's got a good bridge. |
Reydell and Swan Lake look like they haven't fared so well. They haven't gotten any rain down there. |
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. |
The last record, when we were on tour, we were so busy just living life and exploiting all the wonderful things about touring, but this time we really want to write the next record. We want the next record to just come out as soon as it can. ... Well, maybe not as soon as it can. |
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. |
We had generated so much energy and so many new ideas playing live and we wanted to capture that as much as possible. |
We haven't decided on everything yet, but ... I just wanted a scene where I'm holding up my own head and cutting it off at the neck and there's just blood dripping down. |
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. |
We're not looking at any big cool down, but maybe a little less punishing temperatures than we've had. |
