'''lately''' - "one of the first ozma songs i wrote lyrics to. i was very young, so the lyrics are innocent. i had made a stupid move in a relationship with a female friend of mine and i was really depressed about it." - daniel | '''lately''' - "one of the first ozma songs i wrote lyrics to. i was very young, so the lyrics are innocent. i had made a stupid move in a relationship with a female friend of mine and i was really depressed about it." - daniel | ||

'''trucks and cars''' - "nightime, pat's house in '94 in the winter. a band called weezer is now in all of our cd players at this time and has influenced the music in this song heavily - more experimenting less on RIFFY material and more on melody and simplicity - coming to the conclusion that power chords are okay. a lot of the lyrics were lifted from a tiny coffee table book entitled 'mother's quotations' we found in pat's house, i hope we don't get sued. still in the pre-dan era." - jose | '''trucks and cars''' - "nightime, pat's house in '94 in the winter. a band called weezer is now in all of our cd players at this time and has influenced the music in this song heavily - more experimenting less on RIFFY material and more on melody and simplicity - coming to the conclusion that power chords are okay. a lot of the lyrics were lifted from a tiny coffee table book entitled 'mother's quotations' we found in pat's house, i hope we don't get sued. still in the pre-dan era." - jose | ||

'''lorraine''' - "up watching the superstation late at night, seeing lorraine baines mcfly hit on her own son while a really great guy with a really good uppercut is trying to tell her he's in love with her but his words are just coming out jumbled. i think the classic romantic ideal is longing for a girl you don't have, who won't give you the time of day, and still believing it's possible. i wrote like 10 stupid verses to this song before i picked the two i hated least." - daniel | '''lorraine''' - "up watching the superstation late at night, seeing lorraine baines mcfly hit on her own son while a really great guy with a really good uppercut is trying to tell her he's in love with her but his words are just coming out jumbled. i think the classic romantic ideal is longing for a girl you don't have, who won't give you the time of day, and still believing it's possible. i wrote like 10 stupid verses to this song before i picked the two i hated least." - daniel | ||

'''shootingstars''' - "there are a lot of things you could probably get out of this song. on the surface, a song with a story line about a soldier come back from war who finds that his lover has left him. the chorus 'every night i see a shooting star and wonder if it's landing where you are,' deals somewhat with memories, looking for people you miss. the sad thing is that the soldier, while in battle, was probably dreaming of his lover every night (while she was obviously not dreaming of him). it's also possible that his memory of her helped him to make it through his difficult circumstances. so again, i notice that the things that improve you also hurt you. 'everytime i take a look around, i find myself looking down, to a place that looking much more round...' for me it's about trying to look at yoursef objectively and noticing that you aren't seeing the world that is, but rather, a world you dream about living in." - ryen | '''shootingstars''' - "there are a lot of things you could probably get out of this song. on the surface, a song with a story line about a soldier come back from war who finds that his lover has left him. the chorus 'every night i see a shooting star and wonder if it's landing where you are,' deals somewhat with memories, looking for people you miss. the sad thing is that the soldier, while in battle, was probably dreaming of his lover every night (while she was obviously not dreaming of him). it's also possible that his memory of her helped him to make it through his difficult circumstances. so again, i notice that the things that improve you also hurt you.
