I remember knowing we had a good one there, but we never even played it because it was a little tough to sing live. So we never did New Thing when we first had it. I wrote that before the 1st album, I think. My girlfriend before the last one I mentioned. Just a song about feelin' bad, feeling bad about the things I'd done to her, and kind of getting a little sentiment about my home town, thought the name was pretty.
People expect it to be a little bit different of a town than what the name.
The name is much better than the place, you know. I do a lot of writing for the next album while we're mixing the previous one. And it turned into Innocence. Wrote it as a 7-Up commercial, and it turned into a song. Never sent it to 7-Up.
