J'Aime Vous Voir Quitter

I think it's kind of a jab at J'aime, the guy that left the band and compelled Thorburn to state Islands Are Forever

I wonder how rocky their friendship is now.

I'm sorry, CamBam, but I have to correct you. I know Jamie personally (he's my brother-in-law), and he's still very close to Nick. They talk all of the time. And I'm pretty sure Jamie was just in NYC, recording the third album with the Islands. He left the band mainly because he got married to my sister.

I'm not sure if I'm supposed to say all of that, but I feel compelled to correct your misunderstanding.

Also, "J'aime" in French isn't how you spell Jamie's name in French. "J'aime" means "I like" in French. J'aime vois voir quitter means "I...

Even though it's not my opinion, Jamie's stage name with The Unicorns was J'aime Tambeur so i think it's quite within the realm of reason to think that this song concerns him.

"It was written about a certain someone. It was really a reaction to being stabbed in the guts. That was kind of a bitter affair, at the last show we did with Jaime, Nick played that during the soundcheck and then walked off the stage."
