We have no defining rule. We try to write about something amusing and things that have a profound impact on us. There doesn't neccesarily have to be an incident for us to write about it. What's so refreshing about Acoustic Syndicate is that they don't have to go into a metaphoric whirlwind to express themselves. The words are straight up and get right to the point.
People appreciate something they can relate to.
If I can understand what a songwriter is saying, I can appeal more to him. Everything we do, we try to do live. If we can't make sense of it, we're not going to do it. Both tunes are calls to transplant the innocence of childhood to the present way of living. People are so wrapped up in never ending struggles.
