While I'm Away
Goodwin: I basically thought of all of the things I say to my wife on the phone when I'm on tour and put it in a song. This was the last song written for the album. I really wanted the song to feel like a Yann Tiersen arrangement at first, so I asked Dan to play several rhythms at once on the guitar and he did. It’s one of my favorite guitar parts on the album. Tim’s beat is full of ghost notes--which I love--and the vocal arrangement might be the most complex of them all.
