Somebody’s Listening
“”Somebody’s Listening,” I used to be obsessed with the band Thrush Hermit from back home in Halifax [Nova Scotia – Ed]. When I was 14 years old I used to go check out their shows (whenever they played all ages shows.) It’s about this girl that I knew at that time who introduced me to Indie music, it’s about going to see shows with her and being uncomfortable, being a teenager and hearing real music for the first time.”Jon McKiel (228)
Violent Hawaii
“When I was a kid we lived in the country with this huge field beside us. There was always deer in the other field. I used to look at them with binoculars and my dad made me put them away every time a car drove by because, if you were looking through binoculars at a field, somebody would usually stop their car and shoot the deer. My dad didn’t really want that to happen so that’s one aspect of that song.”Jon McKiel (228)
