from Sam:
these songs are about a lot of different things...love, adventures on the ocean, beasts with horns, prison breaks, and other things. they're old songs that I found in different places. I changed them around some. I recorded the songs late at night in my house...I woke up one morning and my friend Thomas had surrounded the songs with sounds from his magic wand
