One Minute Left to Live

"I was driving to John Ryan's studio in Malibu. Knowing that it was my last day to write songs, I was thinking, 'If I had 60 seconds of life left to live, what would I want to say in this last song?' Nothing felt big or substantial or important enough to say. And then I realized that nothing would. Maybe you tell a joke. Instead of this grandiose speech about all the things that you experienced and lessons you learned or the regrets you have, maybe you light a cigarette. Maybe you slow-dance with the person you love. I sat on the guitar and really thought about it. It’s not a typical chord progression or melody that you would hear from us, which is so exciting. It’s a perfect way to end the album."
