Let it slide

"Broken Toy I really love, probably because it came together so quickly, and was really easy(!). But that's definitely a song about ... well, it's particularly a song about the relationship between me and Tom. We've known each other our whole lives and we've always had a very 'brotherly' relationship, and that yields all sorts of great positive things, but it also occasionally tips over into sort of bad things because you know how to cut each other more deeply than anyone else does. It's just a way of confronting that, I suppose - just the fact that our friendships were changing. I guess it's a plea to try to cling onto that and not just let it slip away and not do anything about it until it's too late. It's a very explicit way of dealing with that, and I think it's quite a good example of how the album was for us; when you can't even talk about those things in normal everyday life, it's quite hard to be singing about them in a song, but I guess it's just our weird way of dealing with things(!).

Tom literally *flying* at the O2 in London…OMG…!! ♥

"Nobody who is close to me and Tim can understand it. We are very fond of each other — yet that is something we can’t say out loud. We’ve talked through other people for years about how we feel about each other, but when we’re in the same room, it becomes impossible. Our wives used to say we had the weirdest relationship they’d ever encountered. I still can’t fathom it, after years, and I don’t know that I ever will."
