| Band's Comments | Lyrics | |
| Billy: "Nobody seems to like Jellybelly."
Billy: "There'd be a song like "Jellybelly," where Flood said "On this song, you need to do the "Pumpkin guitar overdub army" thing. You'll hurt the song if you don't."
Billy: "We're pretty firm believers in super-tight rhythm guitar playing. There's definitely a poignancy to four people playing together in a room - the feeling that you get from the miasma of everyone's own rhythms against one another. But if you're not specifically going for that kind of feel, then you've really gotta build the song from the bottom up, layering the rhythm guitars one track at a time, very precisely. To me a song like "Jellybelly" is most effective when it's built like that - super-tight chopped rhythm playing honed to a razor point. Played live, it's powerful but, to me, not as effective."
Billy: "...had lots of guitars, too. That's your typical 8 song with a lot of what we call "drop in" leads. That's where you're between verses and you want to play something for just eight seconds or so."
Originally played live by Starchildren as "Just Between". |
