Max: It started off being about terrorism — addressing a terrorist — and then it kind of just went through an imaginative process and a romantical tune came out kind of sounding like a love song. I wrote it about terrorism and a man at our gig came up to me afterwards and said, “Man that song ‘The King and All of His Men’ — I’m splitting up with my girlfriend and it’s just exactly what’s happening in my life.” It wasn’t about that at all but I love that he interpreted it that way.
What is “The King and All of His Men” about?
