"We’ve worn a path, but if we neglect it, it may become overgrown and we could still lose our way. Take care of the path." - Rob Baker, Strippers Union

“In many ways, I owe my life as a songwriter to The Hip,” says Rutledge. “As a teenager, their songs empowered me to pick up the guitar and instilled in me the strength of the written (and sung) word. I did not record Nautical Disaster for the Daredevil album, but I perform it at nearly all of my live shows, so I’m glad to finally have it on a physical album. To me it is a bulldog of a song that illustrates the power of a band in their prime—I am always blinded by the song’s headlights.”

“Whether just a friend or a partner, the idea of the song is just constantly reminding the person that they can trust you, and I'll be here when you're ready, but there is no rush. The idea of knowing somebody's heart, by heart is to say that you completely and utterly understand them.” - Ariel Posen

"As with every new day, the earth revolves the same, you live things a little like yesterday, you leave a little space for the hopes of something riveting but it’s rare. But every so often you stumble upon that day where everything is nothing like you knew before. You see colors you’ve never seen before; you stare at the same ceiling but it gives you an entire cosmos today." - Edwin Raphael

"It's sort of about becoming so infatuated with someone that you begin to lose sight of who you are," says Houston. "Also comparing yourself to the kind of person you think they want, and trying to become that."

“It reminds me to be grateful for those rare and precious ones who see you and who love you, just as you are, and you do the same for them. We carry each other. Empathy is our currency. It gets better. You’re not alone.” - Allison Russell
