“I don't get particularly precious about things like this, though. Like the record company said, "We need a radio edit that delivers the hook" - I don't even know what they consider the hook in that song ["Oh No"] - "that delivers the hook sooner."

That takes away all the tension and the expectation. I just want to try to do something interesting.” WantTryingMadeRealSelfWantedBeautifulInterestingRecordsSeriousPerspectiveWalkingHealthyExpectationsConceptsTensionTangibleHaikuSomething Interesting Author:Gavin Rossdale
