After I heard this song was about The Frames I started thinking that perhaps this is Glen's response to everyone who complained about him "abandoning" the Frames for The Swell Season.
Just before the rain came down
the sun came out at last
and as for all assumptions made
and questions never asked
The Swell Season experienced unexpected success and he ran with it. A lot of people made assumptions that this meant The Frames were over or that he was only doing it because TSS was more successful in the USA...
i know we're not where i promised you we'd be by now
but maybe its a question of who'd want it anyhow
okay we're not what i promised you we would become
but maybe its a question of how much you really want
Saying TSS is an evolution of his career and that yes, he's no longer the same musician he was in 2001, but would either he or the fans have really wanted the music to stay the same forever?
Then the "there's plenty more where that came from now" part is saying that neither band is done, and his career certainly is not, so stop complaining and speculating. Who knows if that's right, but that's the way I've seen it!
