Thanks for posting!
I am utterly gleeful at the XRay Spex reference.

I had a feeling flare gun was comming back. Now the question is 'in what form'?

I remember Owen saying something on twitter about how a different effects set up meant that Flare Gun would never sound the same again...

Honor the dead or else isn't on there, Owen.
You better tell pitchfork to change that, right? Right?! RIGHT!!?!

Honor the dead or else isn't on there, Owen. You better tell pitchfork to change that, right? Right?! RIGHT!!?! Hmm, b-side maybe? Anyway, how ridiculously exciting is this?! Congrats mr pallett. I'm actually going to go out drinking to celebrate. Have one on me. p.s. But, isn't it "what do you think will happen next?" Mistake? Lyric change? Owen?  |

"...Next?" =/= "...Now?" It's a new song.

What Do You Think Will Happen Now?
The difficulties of my story:
Despite discomforts, despite myself, I
I reaffirm my endless devotion
To the belief that we're all of value,
We're all of virtue, and so inclined we
Fill up our cups and toast to each other,
And though I listen to the arguments
That most divergent systems employ to
Debilitate us, delineate us,
Repackage our words, demystify us,
I unceasingly affirm my love can
Cannot be measured, cannot be altered.
I know, I know it, I do affirm it
With overzealous obscurantism.
With every word and with every gesture,
I must express it. I can't define it,
But all the same I know I can describe it:
I walk o'er bridges and see the river.
A marble statue the sun has weather'd.
The stubbornness of the overgrowth and
The old memorials covered in snow. We've
Written the way the universe will go.
A righteous white horse, a man with a bow.
A sharpened bit of the mistletoe.
Scissors of fate or the fire of Surtur.
Though we're divided, the force of nature
Will put us all in the ground together
This morning I must get up
To see the world around me.
Right away, what I forgot
In seeing ourselves as words upon a paper.
The sun is up.
My arms are wide.
I am a good man, I am yours.

Oh man. Oh man. Now, the only thing left is a date announced for a show in Montreal. And the whole Heartland experience will be scheduled.

while you're dispensing wisdom and truths Owen, may we ask about Flare Gun? What made you award it album status? Did it get radically reworked or did you just have a change of heart? Or both?

Those are quite literally the most beautiful lyrics you've ever written.

domino says: "Final Fantasy will be returning to the UK and Europe for more shows in 2010."
i just have to ask you, Owen, please please PLEASE come to Portugal. If it's not possible, at least go to Spain, because this year the closest you got was Paris, and that's just way too expensive for a college student's allowance!
and wow, the lyrics are very very good!
