How long did it take you guys to put this together? Those lyrics must've taken hours to write.
They did. We started writing them a couple of months ago. And even though there was a bit of a break where we didn't do much, it still took a while. I just went back and read through them one more time, actually singing them in my head to The Whirlwind melody, and I'm really happy with how they turned out. I would absolutely die if the guys launched into a verse of these lyrics at one of the upcoming shows, even if it was just a line or two.
In the beginning, Hef, Reap, and I did about half the lyrics and the general outline for how the story of episodes I-VI would fit into various parts of The Whirlwind just fell right into place. Then we just filled in the holes. Splent and Nick jumped in toward the end and mainly worked on the last part. Honestly, some of the stuff they came up with for that was just brilliant and I never would have thought of doing it that way. I still had to go back and retool a few things that didn't quite fit the overall themes, but I still have to give them a huge round of applause for how they worked that part out.
