"I write quite a few songs where the sort of issue is faith--having faith, keeping faith. And this song [Angels of the Silences] in particular is about the difficulty in having faith in things, and finding things to have faith in, in yourself, in God, and in my case, a woman. Faith is a weird thing, it in a sense it is all about waiting. It's not actually about getting anything, you know, faith is about the wait, because once you get something there is no need anymore. So a lot about faith is just the willingness to sort of throw yourself on a fence and hang there for a while. That's a very difficult and bitter thing, you know. In this song, I keep saying the main character, I, I said, 'All my sins, I would pay for them if I could come back to you.' It's not just about finding things to believe in, it's about wanting to be able to believe in anything too." - Adam Duritz
Julia, ya habibti.
I've got a feeling in my gut
Now it fills me with so much hope
I said, fuck it I'm fine
Dine and dashed
The pianist peddled in the morning
Marry me, stay the same
Lie to me and try to say you never will.
