So Far Away
257 Weeks
Bitter
Absolutely (Story of a Girl)
Bob Dylan
So Far Away: [explained by John Hampson]
That is our favorite song to play live. We usually close our show with it. It reminds me of a Who song. It's real energetic and is cool because Brian and I trade vocals on which we think is one of our strengths.
257 Weeks: [explained by John Hampson]
That was a song I wrote and really wanted to have some fun with. It is about appreciating things that you have instead of worrying about the things you don't have. Like sometimes people look so far into the future that they are missing today. Musically I originally wanted to go real Motown with it.
Bitter: [explained by John Hampson]
That is a song of Brian's. That was a song that he played the verse in rehearsal one day and I asked if he finished it and he hadn't and I pushed him to finish it.
Absolutely (Story of a Girl): [explained by John Hampson]
That song wrote itself really. I started humming the melody, chorus, in my head. It was inspired by an incident I had with my girlfriend. I just started humming it at a gig and I started working on the chords and in ten minutes I finished the song.
Bob Dylan: [explained by John Hampson]
That is a Brian song. That was something he brought to rehearsal. He was just trying to do something interesting.
