"The only song on that record that maybe came out of contemplation about [9/11], is the song called 'Rain On Tin', where I really just wrote those lyrics afterwards. They're written more about the fact that we were all sort of gathered up here for awhile, all these different families up here. It was written more from that kind of perspective, less about anything else. It was somewhat abstracted from being specific about September 11th. It was just about people getting together and help each other kind of thing. Those lyrics were more so coming out of the event. I don't think there's any other song on the record that has that sort of connotation."
