Rogers: (About the tradition in New Orleans) "They show up at funerals playing a dirgy slow march and upon burying the person, they march away with this celebratory music, celebrating this person's transcendence into a better afterlife. We sort of had this concept where the album would be like a funeral. We'll have this slow, dirgy opening and then at the end of the album, it would be like a celebration, so the horns would exit the record."
Lyrics:
I'm
entering a frame bombarded by indecision
Where
a man like me can easily let the day get out of control
Down
this far in the quarter
I'm
pushed hard upon the border
But,
I'd rather be caught 'round
now
rather than, oh say, 'round the mouth of June
If
I can leave, with a little bit of explanation
Then
any where in the world I choose to go I'll have it made
