What made them decide to go back to Vagrant?

[Rohan Kohli]

Was there a conscious decision to move away from the "In Reverie" sound on the new CD due to the backlash IR received, or is what they wrote what came naturally to them...

[desaparecido]

why was eban d'amico (sp?) kicked out of saves the day? what is saves the day's writing process like, is it colaborative, if so how much does everyone contribute? i think i have heard that chris wrote most of their albums by himself, but i dont know how/if this changed.

overall opinion on being on a major label and again the move back to vagrant? ( im sure you will touch on this)

[operator]

why aren't they playing KY even though they said they were going to?

[Patrocl]

To Saves the Day: Who wrote the music and words to "The Vast Spoils of America", and "Do you know what I love the most"?

[desaparecido]

To Saves the Day: Who wrote the music and words to "The Vast Spoils of America", and "Do you know what I love the most"?

i thought chris wrote that whole album, music and lyrics, but once again im not sure.

[LeftWideOpen]

i dont really want you to ask this but after hearing the 3 song sampler .. do you think the change in chris' voice as anything to do w/ him picking up weight again? I see similarities between CSD and these 3 songs vocally.

[Veritas11]

To Saves the Day: Who wrote the music and words to "The Vast Spoils of America", and "Do you know what I love the most"?

Chris wrote all of the lyrics. I think Dave wrote "The Vast Spoils" and Ted wrote "Do You know what I love the most"

[Veritas11]

Was there a conscious decision to move away from the "In Reverie" sound on the new CD due to the backlash IR received, or is what they wrote what came naturally to them...

Same question I had.

[JohnnyG]

Will there be any chance of seeing Saves The Day or Moneen on the Vagrant stage on Warped Tour this year?

[IAPAI]

I will be interviewing Saves The Day (www.savestheday.com) and Moneen (www.moneen.com) in the near future, leave your questions in the replies.

Way to steal Foucart's thunder!

1. If there was a Saves the Day movie, who would play Chris Conley?

2. What is your favorite Saves the Day song(s)? / If you had to choose one song to define Saves the Day to a stranger, what song would you choose?

3. Chris, what would your last supper be of?

4. To be In Reverie is to be in daydream. My personal interpretation of Sound the Alarm is that, its almost like awaking from the daydream, more specifically, in a sudden and almost violent manner (like...from an alarm). The song titles gave me a general sense of urgency and struggle.
Is there a theme to Sound the Alarm?

5. Will you ever put down the guitar for live performances ever again? We miss you dancing.


thank you for helping me deal with my insecurities and vulnerabilities and just growing up and inspiring me to want to make music.

[Co and Ca]

For Saves the Day: How did you guys get in contact with Manny?

For Moneen: Are you guys going to tour with Boys Night Out again? Or better yet, you guys, Boys Night Out, Alexisonfire, and The Weakerthans should play a Canadian Invasion tour here in the US. That would rock.

[buttonsforeyes]

i got 3 songs from "sound the alarm" and i was really looking foward to it, especially hearing it was more similar to cant slow down and through being cool but as of now im not very impressed, which bums me out

[Burning Star IV]

to Moneen: why did you decide to give the new album a shorter title than your previous releases and is there is any theme or concept behind "The Red Tree"?

[pillpillow]

what are all the ex-members of STD doing? why did eben leave? what was your favorite STD lineup? CSD, TBC & SWYA, IR, or current?

[screamoutmyname]

For Saves the Day:
Describe the difference from having Vagrant back your album to having to do most of the work yourself.


For Moneen:
Was it tough to duplicate AOF's songs and do you think that they did a good job duplicating yours?

[ForeverInADay]

New Moneen is damn sweet.

So stoked for the new album.

Also, winter shows outside suck....Choke and Moneen are crazy for playing Blue Mountain last Friday.

[hot time in DE]

what an awesome birthday present .. seriously i cant wait to hear new saves

[savewhatyouare]

Are the lyrics to "the end" purposefully alluding to "as your ghost takes flight" off 'stay what you are?' I believe the lyrics for "the end" are "i'm a danger to myself/always blaming someone else/got THAT grenade in my mouth and my fingers on the pin, ready to rip it out. The lyrics to "ghost" are "got a grenade stuck to your teeth, and you're pulling on the pin." If "the end" is alluding to "ghost," does this mean that Chris now feels like the person that he was referring to in "ghost?"

[tbag311]

I have a few questions about Sound The Alarm.

1) How long did it take to write Sound The Alarm?

2) Is their a sort of story line to Sound The Alarm, and if so, could it be explained?

3) Is that tattooine on the cover??

4) What's the bands favorite track from STA?

[Saves The Night]

i got 3 songs from "sound the alarm" and i was really looking foward to it, especially hearing it was more similar to cant slow down and through being cool but as of now im not very impressed, which bums me outIm going to say this once...HOW CAN THAT BE? I mean for real, this album is rocking, its awesome...I just want to know why you dont like it.

[Saves The Night]

My Question for Saves the Day: Do you promise to keep making music forever? haha, no but seriously ask them how long they plan on making the wonderful music they do. And tell them I hope forever because it constantly moves me and has always changed my life when I was stuck going through some serious hardships.

I can honestly say "This is not an exit" has helped me through the worst of times, even as I type this I get chills thinking about how much that influenced me to keep going through one of the worst times in my life. I'd like to thank them for that for real, and if I ever see them face to face I will personally do that, here's hoping for the April 5th show in pittsburgh is my chance! :D

[Patrocl]

To Saves the Day: In the song "Rise", what is the clip that is playing in the interlude from? How old are you guys? Are you married or do you have kids? Who is on the Stay What You Are cover?

[monkeyboy14]

Yay new tracks. Another birthday present for me.

Every Save The Day record is so different. What is Chris' inspiration and where does his creativity come from? Its very rare for bands and songwriters to have the diversity that he has produced.

[ICEMOUNTAIN]

Ask Chris why his voice has changed so drastically..... just doesnt seem like my same old saves the day i once loved

[HIDEOUSstrength]

ask moneen to release their cd asap

[Tony Pascarella]

Way to steal Foucart's thunder!

Yeah, and I was supposed to interview Saves the Day in mid-March. :\

[Incorrect]

Saves The Day:

Now, for the question the band has probably heard tons of times, and dreads hearing again:

Tablature Books, Tablature Books, Tablature Books.

Please guys, please. Any word on those if/when there will ever be any? And for which instruments?
