They're talking about changing the (Louisiana) state song to helicopter blades flapping and a siren wailing, ... I'd imagine Baton Rouge is even worse to drive in now.

This is a song about talking to the person that you haven't even met yet. Maybe they're rolling around in the hay with someone else but, they're not as good as you'll be. You just gotta wait your turn. She's out there, he's out there. They're just learning what to contrast you against [on the track "Love Song for No One"]

[Most recently he wrote the song] We've Got Nothing but Love to Prove, ... Fireflies.

a pamphlet, no matter how good, is never read more than once. But a song is learned by heart and repeated over and over.

It's kind of like a DJ doing good fades from one song to the next.

The way to disarm people into talking about issues that are confrontational is to make them laugh.
