I called this thing My Best Human Face not only because thats one of my favorite
lines on the album, but because I sometimes dont know who I am, or if Im as good
as other people. The title speaks to the vague theme of identity­ confusion
that is loosely woven into the songs - a reoccurring theme I only recognized
after the writing was done. And so I conclude that this theme is not really
important to me, or to the album. So then I plead with you: please, for the love
of music lets not make identity the talking point of this thing! The confusion
exists for us all, sure, but that doesnt mean we have to place it in the middle
of our circle like a campfire. At end of it all, these are good time songs,
meant to inspire good times in the listener. They were made joyously, with a
stubborn love of music at their center. And while some of the content might be
dark or sad, the memories of making these songs brings only gladness and
gratitude, and its the construction, not the deconstruction, that I think we
should celebrate.
