"I was at the Grammies sitting behind Chuck and across Elvis Costello when I began 書く Infinity On High. As I sat there in my Sunday best (I splurged on an Italian maroon ascot) watching Stevie Wonder and Alicia Keys duet a capella, I decided in a room full of innovators that on our two 前 albums, I had contribited nothing to pop music.
My saying so is in no way meant as a slight to our indie debut Take This To Your Grave, a strong if derivative pop-punk album from a young band yet uninterested in finding itself. I have slightly less positive things to say of its succesor, the exponentially もっと見る succesful but creatively inconsistent From Under The Cork 木, ツリー for which we were nominated that night.
It downed on me that, were we to win, we wouldn't have deserved it. We rightfully lost, I rode back to my hotel, ripped the ascot out of my collar, walked across the street, ate ディナー alone, and wondered to myself what would have to change in order for me to feel もっと見る confortable with accolades.
Fear. I was afraid of being who I was musically. Pete was always honest and メリダとおそろしの森 lyrically. Joe and Andy were in their playing as well. But I was timd and hid behind convention as well as re-imaginings of other peoples innovations.
I went back to my hotel and began simply 書く without fear of how our audience または critics would react. When we ultimately recorded, I sang how I did at ホーム for myself, not in the way I had learned to sing "Punk-rock".
While I won't say Infinity On High was our best album, I will say it was a watershed of me creatively. Zero Grammy nominations though.
P.V.S"
