Yeah, she said it was spooky, so they used to lock themselves up in the one room with all their things. Ooh My Love reminds me of that too: the chamber where they spent all their time.

Lindsey sounded like Donovan wasn't happy that he was doing a cover, but that didn't deter Lindsey.

As for Juniper, when I heard that it was a street where he grew up, I guess I thought a little differently about it. But before that, I just had this impression of dead children flying. It struck me as both saccharine and creepy. Now, I do perceive it in a more Citizen Kane way. Ruthless, rich old man dies and the last words from his lips are not about his publishing empire, wealth or power, but about a happy childhood memory of sliding down a snowbank on a beloved sled. In that sense, I can kind of get into all of the innocence and carefree things that the word Juniper conjures up for LB. But aside from the words, I don't like the music either.
