“Allison’s Room took form after my friend, Ken, gave me a book to read.  The main character was a heroin addict, and that lyrically inspired the song. Musically, it’s an obvious tribute to Elliott Smith, who has been a huge inspiration as of late. When I initially did the vocal tracks, I sang it in my full voice, which didn’t seem to work, and Ken came over one night and suggested that I try recording it in my falsetto, very lightly, which sounded awesome, but really turned the scales toward the Elliott vibe. But it worked for the song, so I left it.”  

"This is probably one of my favorite songs, all time.
I demoed the whole thing at 4 am one day, hence the bad vocals.  I played it for John the next day over the phone, he freaked out, and spent the next Saturday learning it for the drum tracks. Did them in like two takes, and there it was.  Funny, lyrically it portrays a rare sense of optimism for me, despite my usual cynicism, and I think it showed up on the demo itself. I think this song represents the most where I am as a songwriter, stylistically."

"No, I don't know anyone named Gordelia.  It's about being absolutely captivated by someone. This song started as a simple acoustic idea, then evolved with the loud guitars into an Oasis-y type song. The little voice in the break is actually my answering service, we literally miked up the speaker phone, and it turned out pretty cool." "Where Have You Gone is about love lost. When you've invested time and poured passion into a relationship you thought would last forever and suddenly your dreams and theirs don't sync and fear ultimately divides you."

“John and I were messing around in the studio one day… I was in the vocal booth, jamming on this acoustic riff, over and over. John goes, ‘You know what?  That’s the riff I showed you the other day’.  All the words and everything just kind of came out within an hour, it was a magical moment of inspiration. Everyone in the band believes that the vocal tracks for this song are my best vocal performance to date” "This started as a lyrical experiment.  I wanted to get the effect where one word would run into the next, therefore making the lyrics continuously connected.  Which means the song pretty much has no point to it.  This was also my debut of playing harmonica.  I was just awful.  I literally just ran 4-5 takes of the song.  By the time the 5th take of the song, I had an idea of what I wanted.  I love the Bob Dylan meets REM's 'End of the World' quality to the song."
