Writing lyrics with your wife does lead to talking about yourselves a lot. But this is not an autobiographical account of my personal marriage. It's almost about the marriage of the band.

We've always been trying to climb this ladder that leans so hard on our own idea of what our big songs are. We realized recently that we're not a band with big songs.

Everybody knows we're big liberals and I was a very outspoken Hillary Clinton supporter, and I still am. It's impossible for us to separate the songs we're writing from what's going on in the world.

There's political content in almost every song we've ever written on some level. It colors everything.

The storm transforms the soul.

No reprimand in the mirrorSlow walk to LiberiaSlow dance across the SaharaSlow unraveling of gray matter

Don't look shy if you wear rag and people gag, many are in the grave wearing skeleton, and you should even be happier for wearing a skin without clothes.

We each have our belssings and our curses. In the end it makes us equals.

There are so many paths to contentment if you're open to self-delusion.

India helped Bangladesh to achieve independence. The Bangladeshis should remain happy inside the territory of their own country.

Hold on to your dreams, Kiall. They are more important than you realise.

The novelties of one generation are only the resuscitated fashions of the generation before last.

History is written by those who hang heroes.

For great as the powers of destruction may be, greater still, are the powers of healing.
