When i listen to airplanes record, it takes me back. i remember a lot of my thought processes when i was 20 or 21, writing those songs and recording that record. i wonder what i was thinking when i was trying to say a particular thing. i hear some of the weird little nuances in the recording; i can hear what the room sounded like. i remember what it smelled like. i can remember sitting up in guitarist chris walla's bedroom and for the first time in my life having this realization like, "maybe i can do this. maybe i can make music that in some capacity people will enjoy and come see me play."
