In Their Words: “The whole album ended up carrying a narrative of the night life — not as a lucid concept, but enough to go on that you can fill out the particulars and connect to it in your own way. My favorite songwriting quote is from [Bruce] Springsteen: ‘I’ve never seen a coffee-colored Cadillac, but thanks to Chuck Berry, I know exactly what one looks like.’ That’s my favorite way to approach songwriting — reporting about things that the listener has never seen, but they know what I’m talking about through their own emotions from past experiences.” — Paul Benjaman
