專輯背景
創作背景
根據該專輯主要詞曲創作者Martin Johnson提供的歌詞說明,專輯中歌曲的歌詞屬於半自傳體性質。
引文內容如下:
“Our self-titled debut goes through a series of events throughout the track listing, representing the last two years of my life. Though the songs weren’t composed with that in mind, once they were all recorded it became apparent that there was a story of love, loss, youth, and angst for the future that was waiting to be told. The songs go from optimistic songs and love songs to loss and breakup songs, ending back with “Holiday”, which starts the sequence over and symbolizes moving on and cycles in everyone’s life.”
