This is where "Love Anyway" started. The first song written that ended up on the EP. This also marks a change in the entire feel of Irene & The Sleepers, musicially and lyrically.
"Hey Irene, what happened to ya'll being all rootsy and rock n roll?"
Answer: You don't have to be angsty all the time children. Sometimes it is alright to reflect on the wonderful parts of life.
"Hey Irene, ya'll are a pop band now! What gives?"
Answer: "Pop" is short for "popular" and Irene is not popular yet, although we appreciate the encouragement, so reword your question and get back to me.
