I've been converted, I think. Maybe I'm tripping, I don't know, but I suddenly get it.

I think that if your approach is one where you don't want to alienate anybody, you're going to have to soften the viewpoint or the information that you're offering to such an extent that it doesn't have the power to make any difference. You have to take that risk.

I think this is due to all the hype it got before the album was released. I see the same thing happening with Sirens

I just found out it's possible to change the speed of songs without changing the pitch. So I fixed The Fixer for you guys.

I wanted to hear something hilarious over the top of it. I'll let you choose what that is.

its crazy how quick things can change, it was definitely one of my least favorite from the album, but as ive said a few times, hearing the demo and then hearing it live on the webcam of the wrigley sound check just turned this song around big time for me. im even starting to like the lasers

A likely short stay. But things look much the same.
And FoN is some of Ed's best storytelling.
