In Their Words: “‘Madeline’s Eye’ was inspired by my hearing the B.W. Stevenson hit ‘My Maria’ on the overhead music somewhere. A smash hit. That’s where the musical feel is borrowed from. I’m just doing my part for the environment by recycling the groove. The lyric is your typical human/android love story. A love for the ages. The kind of love for which there really is an instruction manual and a tool kit. She’s starting to think, ‘Maybe I am a machine’ and ‘Why do I keep setting off metal detectors?’ I am sure Dr. Sigmund could analyze the heck out of the writer of this song.” — Freedy Johnston
