Combine Stats

Coming in as the number one receiver in this years' draft class, Sammy Watkins didn’t disappoint in his combine, after running a 4.43 in the 40 yard dash. Jets' coach Rex Ryan feels like his team has no chance of drafting Watkins.

Everybody is bound to die eventually, it’s a given from birth. However, the question has become why continue living if you know you’re going to die anyway?

Everyone has those days where they feel they shouldn’t have woke up or at the least gotten out of bed because it wasn’t a good day.

In this case, it wasn’t a good day because she didn’t take an important call she should’ve.

In a recent interview with grantland.com, Martin Courtney spoke of the instruments they used on the album and the changes they made with their sound, including adding a keyboardist.

We’re trying to use a lot of acoustic guitar. Just texturally, it really, really adds a lot. It’s not even necessarily ’70s — like if you listen to a lot of records that just sound really good, you realize there’s a lot of acoustic guitars in it and you don’t even notice, but it’s there and it’s adding this great textural quality. There’s that. We got this new keyboard player, this guy Matt Kallman, who used to be in Girls. He came out and played on the record with us and he’s a really great player. I think a lot of bands, myself included, it’s like, “Well, we need some keys. I know how to play some basic chords, so that’s good enough. Let’s just get a Casio and I’ll repeat the melody.” But actually having a really nice piano part that really complements the song, or a really nice organ part where you can actually have it stand alone in the mix and have it really be like a nice addition to the song, that’s a little more rare these days, I think.
When we made Days we were between drummers. Matt [Mondanile] and I played drums on that record and our friend Sam played some drums. We were just trying to have the most basic drum parts possible. They’re holding down the beat, but it’s not necessarily adding anything to the song. I think for this record, definitely having Jackson [Pollis], who’s a really great drummer, write his own parts [made a difference]. That’s another thing: I think just having a tight, groovy rhythm section is important. We played together for two years after Days came out. We know how to play together well.

He feels as if he’s lost control of his own life, but he can’t do a thing about it as if he was driving a car where he lost control of the wheel.

He watches the clock as it goes around just to see if it stops. He then notices the sun has begun arising and then questions what happened to his time:

Some dreams are rather surreal and make no sense when you really think about it.

The artist is finding himself in this struggle, but at the moment is the only thing he finds himself wanting to make sense.
