"I said that 'Soulbreaking' is probably the most beautiful song the band's written to date. I believe that 'Requiem,' more so than 'Walking Wounded,' is the most powerful song The Tea Party's done to date. And again, to go back with the first song, 'The Interzone,' there's a very tragic irony to that. It's more potent now, given the light of events, than it was when it was written. Same thing could apply with 'Requiem,' where in classical music, a requiem is usually a mass or piece of music dedicated to a loved one who's passed away or a very grand person. A requiem is usually written for this person. And in this case, the whole song, the positive message about this song, is to avoid the requiem. The people that feel that life is beginning to be a little bit too much, especially in these times now, you can only imagine how the people in New York and the families, what they're going through and having to deal with, a positive part of this song is when I'm singing, 'This passes over.' This will pass, too. The song is quite literal, it seems for itself, and it's about avoiding something called a requiem." - Jeff Martin
