  learn to fly
  -you've been very dismissive about this track in the past.
  "'learn to fly' is a funny phase in this band's history because i think the third record (there is nothing left to lose, 1997) might be my favourite album that we've ever done. i'd been living in los angeles for about a year and a half, just being a drunk, getting fucked up every night and doing horrible shit, and i'd finally got sick of that. i was like, 'i've gotta go back to virginia or i'll fucking die in this place'. so i bought this great house in virginia and told everyone i was building a studio in the basement. it was literally a basement with sleeping bags on the walls!"
  
  -it was definitely your least rock album up to that point.
  "at the time the nu-metal thing had become huge with korn and limp bizkit so the dynamic of popular rock music had become so caveman! i thought, let's write some songs. i'm sick of screaming and i'm sick of my distortion pedal! so that album is a really clean record and it's totally based on melody. lyrically it was all about just settling in to the next phase of your life, that place where you can sit back and relax because there had been so much crazy shit in the past three years. at that point it was me and taylor (hawkins, drums) and nate (mendel, bass) and we were best friends. it was one of the most relaxing times of my whole life. all we did was eat chilli, drink beer and whiskey and record whenever we felt like it."
  
  -how do you feel about those songs now?
  "when i listen to that record it totally brings me back to that basement. i remember how it smelled and how it was in the spring so the windows were open and we'd do vocals until you could hear the birds through the microphone. and more than any record i've ever done, that album does that to me."
