A song is a song and, if I am emotionally connected to do it, whether it is sad or not sad, I am going to chase that song.
Matt BerningerThe song 'Humiliation' is kind of about what if, outside of a dinner party or something, I was blown up by a drone missile, out by the pool. What an embarrassing way to go.
