there's something to be said, im sure

"My stepfather was dead. Peter and I were on tour. Long drives, bad sleep, constant grind. We had a radio session to do at Abbey Road's Maida Vale 4 for John Peel. We didn't have anything planned. I didn't want to just play songs from the album we were promoting. I had been writing lyrics in my notebook the whole tour; something in me was breaking open. There was a draft of this on a page, so I knocked it into shape and made up a quick chord progression; Peter and I worked it up and they rolled tape.

Four songs that made the album happened that way on that day; none of them had existed prior to that morning: April 8, 2004. Thanks for the opportunity, John Peel. These songs might never have made it out of the notebook otherwise."

before i watched project hail mary i knew exactly 2 things about ryan gosling:

kind of obsessed with this song because it makes absolutely no sense to me like okay a guy is in a bank line, broke, with blood capsules in his mouth. What the fuck is he actually doing? How does he make money off of this? Then I checked the big tmg book looking for answers and john darnielle basically has the exact same take away I did so at least we are confused together
