“If that's all it does, is get you slightly interested, it's a step in the right direction. I think the band has always walked that line between earnest and incredibly pretentious. I've definitely been guilty of both. On this record we tried to fall on the earnest side.”
“We're being not overprotective but special, and careful, about it because it is special. We don't want it to get lost in the shuffle of the Christmas (rush). We want everything to be right, whether it's the artwork or the title. We're quite precious about it, but I think that's good.”
“I think the CD has this great mood. It projects this positive tone which is something that, when you're in the midst of talking about the places that I've visited, or that Sam and Eric and War Child go to and have projects in, it's dark. It's like unspeakable sadness in these places, but then to have music that is very warm, maybe even forgiving is a good way to say it, it's a very healthy thing.”
