lyric corrections: I was wandering through Midtown when you caught my eye Where as I know that's the confidence (not sure about this one, might be that's some confidence?) You gotta make the ends meet Advancing to a calculated retreat absolutely adore this song! I think it's literally about New York City. Maybe a specific building, I dunno. |

Reminds me of Paul McCartney. I want to hear it with an orchestra backing. Absolutely love the nobody/no body wordplay! My favorite song off of the record |

| possibly their most ironic song. Basic chord progressions, everybody's doing it. Definitely a solid track though | |

Quote from the band website. www.jukeboxtheghost.com/site I wrote most of the lyrics to this song in my head while watching New Year’s fireworks in Philadelphia over the Delaware River. This was just after I started having problems with vocal nodules, so it was a long time before I actually sang it out loud. Even when we went to record it, I had only sang it a handful of times because it was in the part of my singing range that particularly hurt. In the studio, we had to record bits and pieces of the vocals every day and piece it together from various takes because I wasn’t able to get through the whole song without some pretty severe pain. The second verse is based on a very memorable dream I had about standing on top of a skyscraper, watching a tidal wave roll into New York City, with enormous sea creatures visible on the surface of the water. The ending verses are my conclusion to all the philosophical/cosmological pondering in the Sun/Stars sequence, which ultimateley asks the obvious: “What if we were created to gaze at the stars up above?” |

Quote from the band website. www.jukeboxtheghost.com/site This song is about a fictional groupie (though loosely based on a girl from the 70s I read about in Rolling Stone) who is going back and calling all her old lovers and clearing her name. Explaining to all of these people in her past that she knows who she is, who she was and that she doesn’t regret either. (“If I’m to be alone, then I’ll be alone, but don’t look at me like another lost soul”). |
