Hit the replies and let's talk about not what makes a hold any sort of longevity past "putting out good music."

Quote

I remember when I was young we had the New Kids On The Block and cheesy late 80s’ and 90s’ dance music and that was really popular for years and years. Then all of a sudden you had the grunge bands who didn’t care and they came in and tore that all down because people had gotten tired of the hollow sound of dance beats. It looks to me like that happens in cycles. For the last five or six years it’s been pretty much pop music, like even the emo bands were going pop.

I had ["Living Without Love"] and at first it was a much slower song and I expected it to be sort of a piano ballad and then as Arun and I were recording demo’s for Daybreak in 2009 we noticed that we had a lot of mid tempo songs and we thought it would be kind of fun to speed one of these songs up and make it like a Motown song and "Living Without Love" seemed like the perfect song to speed up and sure enough when we played it much faster it just came to life and the lyrics came later.
