Renaissance! - Audio Commentary Lyrics

One of the things I was thinking about a lot
When I was writing this record
Was the gradual numbing to life experiences
That can happen as you get older,
If you're not careful.
Renaissance, I think, is about sort of a call to wake up.
It's the introduction to the male character and
He makes it pretty clear that the thing that will wake him up is
Attention from this sort of unknown female character.
So, he's being a bit melodramatic about it.

I thought it was a good way to start the record
