A city is where you can sign a petition, boo the chief justice, fish off a pier, gaze at a hippopotamus, buy a flower at the corner, or get a good hamburger or a bad girl at 4 A.M.

A life of stasis would be population control, combined with energy rationing. That is the stasis world that you live in if you stay.

I’m a huge fan of ‘Heart On My Sleeve’ – I think it has a ‘Take That’ feel to it! John Shanks and James Morrison wrote the track, and we spoke to Sony and asked if we could reference a ‘Greatest Day’/’Rule The World’ sound to make that epic ballad. I think it does the job.
To the Master’s honor all must turn, each in its track, without a sound, forever tracing Newton’s ground.
