Sons And Daughters: On this record, a lot of our best ideas happened while trying to record other songs. That's how this one came about. We were messing around while the mics and sounds were being sorted, and the whole verse, pre-chorus chords and melodies just kind of happened. Later, at another studio (and under a little pressure to finish the song), we came up with the chorus idea and recorded the song without any lyrics.

As is often the case with our songs, I worry worry worry about finishing the lyrics, and then one day they all just pop out. "Sons And Daughters" happened like that. I think I had the "throw your babies in the water" part first, and that line sparked a kind of "Biblical" tone for the rest of the song. The meaning of the song changes for me all the time and I certainly wasn't trying to make any grand statement. One of my favorites on the record.

antiMusic: Gift of Screws. Where does the title come from and why did you decide to use this as the title track?

Lindsey: Well, it's not as rude as it sounds. It's actually from an Emily Dickenson poem. And I was just leafing through a notebook of her poems one day and I came across that and I had to read it a few times really to get�and .I hope I got it right�what she meant. But the way I took it was that you have to turn the screws of the press yourself to get the oil from the flower petals, to get the fragrance out. In other words, you can't just sit there and watch the flower grow and expect to come up with something from that. If you want to have something happen from the gifts that are around you, you've got to apply your own vision first of all and then your own love and your own effort. So anyway, that was kind of something I bought in to.
