now the night is coming to an end

Listen, we write music for you to take and for you to use by yourself , maybe it’s a darker time, I want to thank you so much for using our music to get yourself from one place to the next. Hearing those types of stories means the world to us. Sometimes we get asked the question ‘why are your songs and your records so dark and somber but then the show seems like a celebration?’ and I want you to know, it’s meant to be that way. Because when you listen to our songs by yourself, it’s our goal for someone to use those songs to get from one place to the next. But if you survive, if you make it to the next night, it’s also our goal for you to show up to a place like this and celebrate with everyone else around you that you made it to another day, my friends.

That’s one of the things books do. They help us talk. But they also give us something we all can talk about when we don’t want to talk about ourselves.
