Q: Maybe a lame question (cause music can speak for itself) but is their any story behind "you're free to do whatever you want to"? I know at the end of the video it appears you wrote the song about 6 years ago.
A: i had just moved into a church. also had just broken up with my girlfriend. i had a lot of free time, and started writing a lot. i was experimenting with a writing technique which i was calling "murder your demon" which is where you deliberately say complete garbage at the top of the song for 4 bars (or anywhere in the song), and try to be as terrible as possible and get it all out of your system. if you actually aim straight at hell on purpose, it has interesting effects on what comes next. songs like fever (is what makes you sick), blind (to no avail), feel okay, 2010, i like, free to (do whatever you want to), tape deck, barf on me, the summertime, and song 41 were all written during that month (august 2010). i recorded some of them during the following weeks/months, and some of them remained unrecorded until years later. some still unrecorded (not mentioned).
