And that’s how you end up with Crazy Eyes. So I decided to reacquaint myself with my roots and just write about the things that are strange and you know weird to me. It’s supposed to be a little snapshot of everything, including grim realities. I feel like that’s really what art is supposed to represent. Why did you do it? You know, ‘I wish I would have met you, now it’s a little late, what you could’ve taught me’ you know, it’s just like poetry about this really awkward moment in this guy’s life. I saw the footage and I just didn’t understand this guy. “Hey Man, Nice Shot” was about that whole thing on the news, with the press conference where the guy committed suicide in front of all the cameras, and you can’t really understand it. I’ve always heard that the song “Hey Man, Nice Shot” is about the televised suicide of R. I wanted to understand it and make the album kind of reflect what was happening, you know? And there were these things that happened, all these events, that I couldn’t explain. And I also think the reaction from people is exactly what we’ve been waiting for, you know? And I think that when you have the opportunity of being a musician or an artist, you kind of have to be honest and authentic to yourself. I think that’s what led up to the record that we have now. But ultimately the responsibility was mine and I was the final opinion. So I ran around and got together with all kinds of people and had a great time in the studio. And they were like, ‘You know what? Absolutely, go do your thing.’ So I was just like, ‘Give me some cash and I’m going to go run off to the studio and work with some old friends, and some new friends but let me do what I want to do and let me produce it. People really make me sick when they’re like, ‘Oh, we should write something happy.’ So really with this record I wanted to get back to, not necessarily the sound on my roots, but definitely the mentality of my roots. I felt compelled to do the opposite of what is considered popular right now. There’s this bizarre familiarity with all these mass shooters…And I wanted to kind of understand that and avoid anything having to do with the same old pop stuff, you know what I mean? Well, if you look at someone like Adam Lanza – take a look into his eyes. What is the origin of the album title?Ī lot of people are curious about the origin of the album title.
