“Some songs are definitely inspired by noir kind of ideas, the idea of people giving in to bad ideas. That’s true. But I think there’s an over reliance on words like smokey, moody and dark to describe us. Because we definitely have some semi-humorous songs and some plain stupid and ridiculous songs. But I guess it’s better than some other words I could think of.” Mark Sandman | Morphine Band

The true meaning of "I Had My Chance and I Let It Go" wasn't about a failed relationship or an opportunity lost, it was about missing the chance to take a left hand turn at an intersection in LA en route to a session at KCRW's 'Morning Becomes Eclectic' program before the band's show at the Troubadour that night. | Morphine Band

“There are just subtle things like that you can do with drums. It’s one of the things I really like about Morphine. You can really hear the drums. You can hear the tone of the drums, what part of the cymbal he’s hitting. You can even hear him grunting. He’s not competing with all the other mid-range instruments, voices and guitars. I don’t know. It just works.” Mark Sandman | Morphine Band
