Q: i was listening to 'the future song' and was wondering what the story behind it is. in the chorus you sing "you and i was born" but in the verses it seems like you talk more about loneliness/longing as though the other person is gone or left. or i'm totally misinterpreting it (hopefully you don't mind explaining, it seems like a lot of questions have been asked today on the background behind your songs)
A: i think the underlying theory is that something completely revolutionary is happening with mankind, which i guess the entire history of mankind has been leading towards, but really began to pick up speed in the  ... 1500s ... or the 1900s .... or the 1960s ... or fuck it, right now ... However you want to look at it. basically just trying to hype up the current generation that we might be able to "get it!" and make everything great using all our combined knowledge and spirit, etc. It was written in 2009, but probably could have been written at any time, with the names of all the decades and years changed
