{{Rivers|That kind of song was written in a very emotionally extreme moment. It's not often that I feel that way. Maybe once a week or something I'll get overwhelmed by a situation in my life and write a song about it. If I were to put all those songs on an album you'd think I have a really bleak life, or I'm an emotional wreck or something. But, really, I only feel that way for an hour or two. Most of the time I'm a pretty cool character.}}</blockquote> | {{Rivers|That kind of song was written in a very emotionally extreme moment. It's not often that I feel that way.
