    We now know that Distant Planet became Force of Nature.

    Great insight to The End as well.
    And so you see, I have come to doubt
    All that I once held as true
    I stand alone without beliefs
    The only truth I know is you.

    No, Eddie, No! Why did you do it?! It was so much fun to try to figure out the lyrics on the first listen, and then over time change my perception. :)

    I guess I'll need to forget what I read about the first couple songs, and then read the entire article after I've listened to the album a bit, and tried to figure it out a bit. It would be cool to see how close I am.

    very cool indeed.

    loved this quote, seeing how I am in the same place as him, wife and 2 kids:

    “There's never a dull moment on the road – every day it's something. Maybe that's why my goal is the dull moment. That's what this song is: It's saying, ‘Just stop, and be together. Don't talk now, just breathe and feel each other's presence – now that the kids are in bed.'

    and this on my favorite track, Unthought known:

    I got back late to my hotel in New York, and I pushed it that extra hour. I pushed the limits of how much you can drink and smoke, and this song came out of it. I think the thought of the song is that there are things that you know, and they're in us, but we just haven't thought of them. But they're there, and we base decisions on them.”
