It's been awhile. Forgot how much I love this one...from start to finish. :wub

 

From the title track:

 

...If I can't be with you I would rather have a different face

And if I can't be near you I would rather be adrift in space

And if the gods desert us now I'll turn this chapel into flames

And if someone tries to hurt you I would put myself in your place...

 

:swoon

A bit obvious, but honestly I had zero interest in this until I saw the film, not bad, also reminds me to lighten up a bit, even though sometimes EV's voice I feel limits him, and please that's not to say he can't sing, but secretly I've always felt it held PJ back a little, I mean, he has a certain sound, a sound that I normally relate to angst high school/college (I know terrible stereotype), but after falling off and not hearing much of the newer PJ stuff, this I find to be completely fresh, inspiring and true. Super short, but I honestly believe that's because of the usage int he movie, not cutting of an entire song here & there, but getting what they could with the time they had. I'm comepletely aware the PJ has managed things many bands to da don't, I just haven't connected to much since "No Code", anyway I'm sure fans of EV will enjoy this.

Here's a short and decent interview with both Eddie and Penn from TIME magazine that touches on the film and the process EV went through to record the tracks:
