    We write songs with our headbands. They don't come out of our head but out of our headbands. Nobody has ever done that before so we're kind a special that way.

    "this is..." "Andrew"
    "And..." "Ben"
    "very good"
    Andrew and ben are thinking, yeah we think we know our own names'. i laughed when they sorta looked at each other like what the hell?

    "Do you like hear a drop of water on the table or...." *weird laugh*
    Ben's expressionless face when she says that! i would have loved to hear what the guys were thinking while being interviwed.

    Sleep deprivation usually does bring some sorta "trippyness" into life. When you haven't slept for ages, your eyes tire out. You might see little balls of light all around, but usually it's sensitivity to light when tired. Shadows might seem like they move and sounds become really weird and muffled and stuff. Time speeds up and you might feel like a month passes in a couple of hours. Then as your brain tires more, you might get closer to your subconcious. These are my experiences, it differs.

    just because they ask weird questions or make moments awkward doesn't always necessarily mean that they're a bad interviewer. Sometimes they're simply unprepared. I bet this girl was improvising most of, if not that entire thing. Cut her some slack guys...

  • @jessicaleah
    @jessicaleah 15 лет назад +11

    music is what they've always just done for fun. and not that i agree that their lyrics aren't meaningful, because they are...just not in a generic way and in more of a broad sense, but if they're just doing it for the pure joy and experimentation then lyrics aren't really the main focus...it's the combination of the lyrics, sounds, genre, influences, and personality. that's what makes this band brilliant.
