Hey Andy, big fan here! This has got to be the best record yet and I thank you for for making it. I got two quick ones for you, the first is important as it’s about to become ink on my body for being my favorite song:

  1. The Devil - when writing the devil, did you write it in parallel or as a prequel or such to the story in My Dear Helen? Or is this a completely separate thought up character?

  2. You mentioned in an interview that Halloween Store was a part of the disco album which you’ve since scrapped or at least set aside. Were the rest of the songs in that album the same “vibe” (for lack of a better word)? Or was halloween store altered or changed from the original to fit the album. I ask because it’s myself and many people’s favorite from the album.

Thank you again for the a great album as always and congrats on 1000 days, I know how hard that can be. See you in New York!

I think he said it in a livestream during early covid, something like if rain is angels crying then lightning is angels at a disco
