Zitat des Tages von Matt Berninger:
The truth is, I'm pretty lighthearted.
I don't play an instrument. I pretend. I try to.
A suit is a sign of respect.
When it comes to lyrics, I just write down a lot of things, and only a very tiny fraction of it, I think, is any good.
I watched R.E.M. connect with the back row of a 50,000-seat venue.
Once you do have a child, you want to talk about every detail of it. And it is really boring to all your friends, and it should be. I was really worried about even going there at all.
I don't love being on the road.
'Alligator' was the first record that anyone paid attention to, and it seemed like it was the screamy songs that got us that attention.
I'm a stubborn guy that loses his temper, sometimes driving the station wagon in the wrong direction for hours and hours and never admitting that he's gone the wrong way.
The lyrics are what I work on the hardest, but I'm not trying to make a perfectly clear message or anything like that. In fact, I'm usually trying to avoid saying something too directly, because usually that rings false anyway.
Usually, writing lyrics for me is like bleeding drop by drop from the forehead.
