Love's An Excuse To Get

Rastafarianism And Reggae Music Have Always Kind Of Resonated With Me. Those Ideas Of Redemption, Liberation And Overcoming Oppression Through Music, Weed And Community. Fighting Evil Through Love And Music, I Think It's Just A Really Powerful Idea.

I Swear That I'm Dying Slowly But It's Happening, And If The Perfect Spring Is Waiting Somewhere... Just Take Me There.

I Drug Your Ghost Across The Country, And We Plotted Out My Death. Every City And Memory We Whispered "here Is Where You Rest." Well I Was Determined In Chicago But I Dug My Teeth Into My Knees And I Settled For A Telephone, Sang Into Your Machine: "you Are My Sunshine, My Only Sunshine.

I Liked The Idea Of Having A Record That's Reggae-influenced But Not Musically, Just Lyrically. 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. Which I Suppose Is At The Root Of Most Any Religion. You're Gonna Find It, If Taken In The Right Context.

We're Going To Sing About Things That Matter To Us. The Balancing Act Is To Present These Ideas But Also Make The Music Exciting And Sort Of Fun Enough That Even If You're Not Paying Attention To The Lyrics, You Might Still Like The Songs Anyway. That's The Idea.
