"I Stand Corrected" by Vampire Weekend
I live in New York with my wife, daughter and two dogs.
I kept waiting for them to play "Under African Skies," but they put on a great show and I love their new album.
You wanted rock 'n' roll... complete control. Well, I don't know. Never pick sides. Never choose between two.
In 'The Weight' it was this very simple thing. Someone says, 'Listen, would you do me this favour? When you get there will you say hello to somebody or will you give somebody this or will you pick up one of these for me? Oh? You’re going to Nazareth, that’s where the Martin guitar factory is. Do me a favour when you’re there.' This is what it’s all about. So the guy goes and one thing leads to another and it’s like 'Holy Shit, what’s this turned into? I’ve only come here to say hello for somebody and I’ve got myself in this incredible predicament.'
I'm still working on my dream, and at times there's a lot of struggle and uncertainty. But thankfully I guess, that's the point, that we should always be working on our dreams. Dreams that are dormant, dreams that are old and dreams we haven't even dreamed yet.
-Matthew Ryan, "Still Working the Dream"
