I'm really not sure I want to subject myself to the video.

Stay in here with me and let's get reviews of it first. I'm scared too.

Dime, you don't have to keep doing that. The video could be great but at least allow for the fact it could be terrible.

I was trying to make a funny about us as pj fans criticising everything. Especially in retrospect.
Poor execution or my genius is not understood in its time.

I thought it could have been Stone. Crazy how he only has one songwriting credit.

I have no interest in criticizing it. I'd just rather shy away from it in the event it's not really good, or even if it's just bland. Like, I don't need to see the guys on stage faking a performance of it. I'd want it to be something interesting, like one long tracking shot of a lost cat walking in the rain wondering where home is.

Totally. This needs to just be looking out over a rainy street at night.

Is the pre-chorus the "it's alright" part?

Also, I wish Sirens was somehow the first thing ever broadcast via radio. It should be our first attempt at communication with the galaxy.

Yeah I think so. It's that angular guitar part, which makes WWS groovy just as it does this one.
