you sort of get the feeling nowadays though (at least i do) that Jon and Richie sort of go "i can't write a love song the way i feel today" but at the same time they say, "well, let's just record it anyway, put it on the album, release it as a single and promote it and have it as a mainstay in the set for the next tour" |
I don't think Jon and Richie could have written that song today. I think it was just for that time period where they were completely burned out, they were tired of the band, and this song came out true and raw from what t hey were feeling. The ballads are very different on These Days. They're not happy ballads, they're kind of sad and depressing. Even "Hearts Breaking Even", which really isn't a ballad, has a melencholy feel to it.
