All the Right Friends from the Vanilla Sky Soundtrack

This is by far the oldest song on this set. It was written in 1979 by Micheal and me before we had even met Bill and Mike. We played it at every show until about 1982. I don't know why we never recorded it; maybe we thought it was kind of juvenile.

Twenty years later, when asked to contribute a song to the Vanilla Sky soundtrack with about eight days notice, it no longer seemed quite so naive. We recorded it in three hours prior to a show in Seattle, and quite consciously tried to record it as we would have in 1982.

The movie sucked! See the original instead - Open Your Eyes (English translation)

Maybe they should have done a song about Darth Vader and his family issues..
