A. Billy: The logo, really, thought it was important to have something to identify with other than a name; something visual. Bands I?ve liked when I was a kid, you know, had strong ? some strong visual images. And, I?m just glad ? this one has a bit of significance to it. You know, there?s an image there that?s a little hard to see. You know, it kind of reflects the way I was feeling for a long time. You know, you?re in-between girlfriends,feeling terrible about yourself and feeling like no one can see you unless they look really hard, and no one?s really bothering to, and wanted to almost have an image that says that visually, without having to say it in words. You know, if there?s something there, you have to look a little harder.

And, I think the ? you know, the nicest things in life are found through that; things that aren?t so apparent at first. And, you know,hopefully, some of the things in this band will, you know, take shape later on. And, figure out that?s maybe a little more than it actually seems at the moment. And, as far as imagery, on the album cover, the same kind of thing.

Createda little bit of our own language there, as far as written. It?s just to not give it away at first. You know, people hear the words and songs, and you don?t quite hear them all. And, you start putting your own interpretations on it. I think it?s really important to do that early-on. You start reading exactly the story that the lyricist wanted you to know. And, you might miss a lot of things that were special to you; some special times that these songs ? they just have ? the song puts the glue into the certain situation that you ? you?re out on a sunny day on the right day and the right situation and this song means something else, because you just caught on aline.

So, having the lyrics written out in the album, you might have missed that altogether. So, we?re going to include the lyrics in the record, but we?re not going to give the key to it until later on. Probably put that key on the Internet, as far as what these little hieroglyphs that we came upwith. It just adds a little bit of mystique in a right way, to me
