Goodbye Sky Harbor: The most noticeable aspect of the song is its length. When we were mapping out how we would record the song, we decided the song would use up an entire whole reel of two-inch tape which ended up being a little over sixteen minutes long.
Zach: The lyrics are inspired by the John Irving novel “A Prayer for Owen Meany”.
Jim: Anthrax always had a Stephen King song. I thought why not try going with something I was reading.
I ♥ Jimmy Eat World
Random Insert of the Day:
My Father (F) Me (M)
(F): So when you finish school, what's your title going to be?
(M): Umm... editor?
(F): Just an editor? That's your whole title?
(M): I guess. Journalistic Editor of Photos?
(F): ...
(M): I want to be a photojournalist too.
(F): Why?
(M): So I can interview bands and artists; get paid to go to concerts and write about the show and take lots of pictures of them!
(F): Oh really? That's cool.
(M) YUP! And one day I'm going to interview Jimmy Eat World and ask Jim Adkins to sign a paper that states I'm allowed to interview him and blah blah... but what he doesn't know is that it's really a marriage certificate and once he signs it he'll be legally mine and married to me! The bottom is even going to say, No Refunds, No Exchange, Til Death Do We Part.
(F): ... that is the weirdest thing I have ever heard you say...
