| For each month's Featured Release, we ask the principle songwriters for the band to provide commentary for each track on the new record. Here, fans are given some insight into the inspiration, creative developement, and recording process for all the songs on the record. Song commentary for this album by Ryan Dominguez. 1. Spectacle Whoever coined the phrase "Love means never having to say you're sorry," must have never experienced true love for another person. When pride gets in the way of remorse and leaves you tongue-tied or at a loss for words, finding an adequate way to express oneself can be trial and error. 2. New American Saint The new American saint is not unique in his efforts to make his mark or his will to transcend, but is commended and admired for it. However, his support system is unique, in its selflessness in providing him with refuge and encouragement. They in turn, present another sort of neo-sainthood which often goes unsung. 3. Goodbye Almond Eyes When a relationship becomes one-sided and one person continuously gives in efforts to salvage what is left of a fading love, the courage to give up is sometimes hard to find. 4. The Tin Man Gets His Heart Establishing new trust is the most difficult part of getting over previous betrayal. A lack of faith in others can lead to feelings of alienation and defensive behavior. When one is again able to see his own similarities to those around him, he becomes willing to open his arms and fill his chest with their love. 5. Treading Water Depression can sometimes also effect the people closest to the afflicted. 6. Bottle Marked: Caution Spurned by his lover, Dr. Jekyll seeks comfort in a dangerous concoction of volatile liquids... 7. The Hard Eight "Nine-to-fivers" are society's most under appreciated saints. They keep the "Machine" functioning and its gears well oiled. Unfortunately, some become addicted to this purpose. They push harder and harder to maximize their productivity by working around the clock thus, eliminating time for rest and recreation. 8. A Reason To Come Home Again Being away from the one you love can be hard at times, especially when it happens with a certain degree of normalcy. People ask me, "isn't it hard being on tour all of the time?" Isnt it hard being away from the one you love?" Of course, but nothing worthwhile is ever easy. When you find someone/something special that makes you happy, you do what you must. 9. I Love You... Too How do you tell someone who just said those three magic words to you that you're not sure you feel the same way? 10. The Hammer & The Nail When you've blamed everyone but yourself, you may just find yourself by yourself. 11. Meghan Again Would you pretend to be someone else to win back an old love? |
