On the one hand it's quite a sad record, but I wanted the songs in essence to be about pulling yourself out of a difficult time.

I think the album's about contrasts too - contrasts of emotion - so I thought the comparison was appropriate.

Philippe FalardeauThere are plenty of teams in every sport that have great players and never win titles. Most of the time, those players aren't willing to sacrifice for the greater good of the team. The funny thing is, in the end, their unwillingness to sacrifice only makes individual goals more difficult to achieve. One thing I believe to the fullest is that if you think and achieve as a team, the individual accolades will take care of themselves. Talent wins games, but teamwork and intelligence win championships.

But I like being around people like that.

Queen LatifahSo we didn't get the denominations and the separate congregations really till about into Civil War time. What's happened then, of course, is now that we've had well over 100 years of this history to establish separate cultures, different ways of worshipping, and different ways of understanding theology so that when people try to come together makes it very difficult.
