So much of our last record was about just a general passion too. Especially in the song "Hole in the World," where it has that refrain "love is love is love is love." It's definitely about all kinds of love. Too many people only recognize love as romantic love and even the basis of Thursday having the dove as the symbol. For me, since the dove has been about so many different things, it's such a loaded symbol. What I thought it should mean, like the best possible meaning for a dove would be passion. If there is one pure aesthetic value that I wanted to represent in a living thing, it would be a general love, you know what I mean?
