Actually, you'll see in there - the original album cover was something that I drew and it's kind of like a very poorly version of what is now our album cover. I do do a lot of sketching, I do most of my lyrics handwritten because it's just faster and you can get, I don't know - if I want to draw something, I can do it. That journal, that book the hardbound book that's in there is really - it should be cool. We could live on another planet if we wanted to and be happy and we could go live in the woods and leave everything because none of that matters and that song was kind of explaining that to her.Ībsolutely. At this level of people and public being really disrespectful and kind of, really tormenting my girlfriend and harassing her online and stuff like that and saying like really horrible things to her and she can’t understand why people would do that and 'cause they don’t know her and she’s like the sweetest person she would call me up crying because people are threatening or saying stuff to her on the internet and it really made me so angry and I really have to talk to her and let her know none of that matters. I think lyrically it was actually about my girlfriend because we kind of to deal with something we never have before. So that song, is on ya, it was super fun to create and I think it doesn’t sound like anything we have ever done. We didn't know what we were doing and just work our way through it and make something interesting out of it. I think "Floral and Fading" was the standout track that we just wanted to - it's like walking into a pitch black room. I love that doing that, we try to do that at least once on every album. I think every record we have one or two songs that are a little out of our element and one of the things that - it's an idea that we had and then, just like a - taking a risk to pursue things that we wouldn't normally do. It was one of my favorite times doing the record. I did a lot of work there, it was a lot of fun. The whole place had a really strong vibe to it, a really creative place. All these people coming in and out of the doors every single day. Amazing people like Weezer and Ziggy Marley, Regina Spektor, Fleetwood Mac. They still rent it out to people and they actually still record there so every day there were really cool artists coming in and out working on music in the other room.

It was really cool because The Village is a legendary spot, it was where Fleetwood Mac built their studio to make the album Tusk, it still stands. So they let me work at this room every day for a month and a half, finishing up a lot of the album. We provide you with a place to make music, if you want it. Since I was technically a Concord artist, they were like, hey this is for our artist. Concord has a room there, a studio so this really perfect, cool little spot where I can work. Once that happened, Concord has a permanent residence in a studio in Santa Monica called The Village. Our record label Fearless, which recently joined a label called Concord Music. Honestly, I think one of the things that helped me the most with this record - it kind of happened, I don't know. But it took a lot of traveling around and working on these songs to find the good things that we wanted to talk about. I hit up the producer, flew right out to Long Island, finished the album, singing it and fixed it. Once they were all written, it was go time.
Then I ended up finishing the album up in Seattle, I flew up there for a week and finished the last of the songs, lyrically. I stayed in ten different Air BnB's around California and worked in a couple of different studios. Once we started touring, it put our minds in a different place and after we were done a couple of tours, I went full on traveling. I needed to be around my band and be around shows again and just I guess refuel a little bit. We just needed it as people, we needed to get out.
I think just getting out of the studio gave us a little bit of, I don't know. The inspiration wasn't in there, we needed to get out a little bit. In the studio, it wasn't going to happen. Like I said, I describe it as "searching for the songs," and trying to find them. Traveling, that's what really made the record.
