There's a song on the album called, 'Pride is a Lonely Blanket,' and that is the cornerstone of the album. Pride is what pushes you forward and pushes you backward at the same time.

I'm going to take you to a karaoke bar tonight and get you up on stage. What song are you going to sing?

It's amazing; it's definitely a sense of pride. You don't see this very often.

All the lonely people, where do they all come from? / All the lonely people, where do they all belong?

It was lonely for a day or so until one morning some man , more recently arrived than I, stopped me on the road.


'How do you get to West Egg village?' he asked helplessly.

I told him. Ans as I walked on I was lonely no longer. I was a guide, a pathfinder, an original settler. He has casually conferred on me the freedom of the neighborhood.

Sing the song or keep it inside.
