Das hat Mike zu Inside Job zu sagen:
"Inside Job" was the first song you've done lyrics for, right?
Yeah. "Inside Job" to me, it was about searching for a spiritual answer to a daily issue, if you have something to get through in life that's a tough thing. I have this thing called Crohn's disease, which is kind of a nasty disease. Just chronic illness. I have to look for something inside first to be open to outside solutions, whether they be spiritual or medical. It's all about searching. The music, I wrote that in Hawaii, where Boom (Gaspar), our keyboard player lives, so it kind of has a spiritual feeling. Toward the end of the album process, Ed didn't have any lyrics to it. I said, well ... I want this song to happen, and I'm gonna try to write some lyrics, and I'm gonna go up and try to sing it to him. Which was very intimidating to me. We're friends and all that, but it was so intimidating.
He told me that he didn't have his plate full, and I offered him a full dinner. He was really into it, and that made me very happy and proud. And then when he started singing it, I almost started crying.''
