36. “Love of My Life”
This one goes waaay back, and has a special place in our hearts. It was written on a plane on the way to Barcelona, where our friends Tony and Rika Daniel were getting married the next day. It was polished off in a hotel room in Sabadell that night, and performed for the first time — poorly, but with love — at Tony and Rika’s wedding reception in the blazing Spanish sun. None of the above has anything to do with how we usually roll, except for the part about writing songs on overnight deadlines, which we’ve become quite fond of doing. Give us a deadline and we will give you a song. It definitely helps if we love you, though. Happy Valentine’s Day to Tony and Rika and to all of you.
