And I am a writer, writer of fictions I am the heart that you call home And I've written pages upon pages Trying to rid you from my bones.

I wish I had a better range, but I really have a super-limited one. Barely a tenor, dips into baritone - that's about it.

It was a nice relief to be able to work on individual songs.

It's hard for us to talk about how we disdain file-sharing when in fact it probably has been a great resource for us.

The jam stuff doesn't appeal to me in general. My newfound love for the Dead came from Robert Hunter and Jerry Garcia's songwriting, not the elaborate guitar solos. I'm a song person. Once it starts to break out of that structure and become loopy, it's uninteresting to me.

I think the music should definitely underscore the sentiment of the song, and it can work for or against it.

No-one wants to hear anything spoken in earnest anymore, unless it happens to involve unrequited, teenage love.
