great hit knowing music realistic timeless trying
We're realistic about knowing that we're not out to hit the mainstream, ... We're trying to make great music for the time, but not to make timeless music. You just try to make something special.
hustle band records
I like that band Get Hustle. They're cool live. I haven't heard their records, though.
nice leather-pants radio
[As a frontman ] I'm going to wear leather pants and get blowjobs in the studio. That would be nice. They are definitely not cool, but I like them. I don't listen to them, but I like them when I hear them on the radio, normally.
nice magic studios
That's why you go to a nice studio. You can get a magic take. You don't really have to do anything to it.
sound never-change producers
What producers did was mostly recording in the studio, so it never changed our sound just that much.
sound albums should
There's no point that an album should sound like a watered down version of another album.
nice voice flow
If a voice is just too nice, without an edge, it kinda all flows by. You forget it. You don't listen to the lyrics.
nice self effort
Well, you know, it's a younger person, and it was maybe an effort to be a little more sincere and adult about the lyrics occasionally, which is a good thing. It's nice that it's not too self-conscious like some of our lyrics could be.
imagery visuals visual-imagery
I like visual imagery in my head.
paradigm paradigm-shift ifs
If there can be some paradigm shift thing that you can be part of, that's cool.
grateful thinking people
My wife says that I changed people's lives or ways of thinking and that I should always be proud and grateful. If I'm dismissive of what we do sometimes, a little bit, she's like, "I was a fan, you changed my life," or whatever. That's what she says.
