When You Look At What People Consider

I Have A Car In Nebraska. When I Bought It, They Gave Me A Satellite Radio, And There's An 'indie-rock' Station. It's Just Nothing I'm Interested In.

With Science And Reason Throughout History, What People Believed Turned Out To Be False. So I Like To Keep An Open Mind To All Perspectives And Learn And Become More Fully Realised As A Person. I Just Feel We're Never Going To Know What The Full Picture Is.

I Know A Girl Who Cries When She Practices Violin Because Each Note Sounds So Pure It Just Cuts Into Her, And Then The Melody Comes Pouring Out Her Eyes. Now, To Me, Everything Else Just Sounds Like A Lie.

I Think There's So Much About Rasta Culture That's Interesting. Just The Idea Of Preaching One-ness, That We're All In This Together.

All Those Experiences Were A Chance To Learn More About Music. Playing With The Valley Band Is Like Such A "live" Band. I Mean, Really, In Many Ways Bright Eyes Is Really A Studio Project. We Form Bands To Tour, But It Really Is - You Know, We Take The Songs And We Figure Out How To Decorate Them And It's All In The Studio, We Build The Songs That Way. Whereas Mystic Valley Band Was The Exact Opposite, Where Everybody Knows What They Are Gonna Be Playing On The Song And There's Sort Of A General Stylistic Approach, And Then It's Just Plug In And Play.
