Discography:

Byzantium Š1998 Recorded in Tornillo, TX.

Daybreak and a Candle End - Todd: "This was an instrumental piece that we were playing at a soundcheck and some shows months before I had ever finished it. The lyric was written separately and added as a tag when the song progressed to the demo stage. We got this one on the first take."
So Precious - Todd: "We were over at Toby's house one afternoon just relazing and the song just kind of materialized on its own. Texas has a way of influencing you when you don't expect it."
She is - Clay: "I burned up three amplifiers recording that one."
Cherry Lime Rickey - Todd: "A cherry lime Rickey is an old Southern drink. I thought it would make a good name for a character. The song is long because we thought it was going to be edited down - we decided to keep it because this is how we play it live."
Byzantium - Todd: "A song about getting rid of dead wood in order to progress. Somehow I talked Toby into singing this one so I could just play bass guitar."
Everything - Toby: "It began as a riff and grew into a song. It was recorded in one take live in the studio. I played one of Stevie Ray Vaughn's old guitars."
Enough to Get By - Toby: "I had an instrumental that I never put words to." - Todd: "So I did." - Toby: "I didn't have a Spanish guitar, so I took one off the wall in the hacienda, blew off the dust, and recorded the line in one pass."
Hell in Itself - Todd: Toby and I grew up in the prison town of Huntsville, Texas which is where they do all of the executions that everyone hears about. Its weird to know as an eight-year old exactly where and when someone is going to die. Even as you get older it never gets any less strange."
Dr. Crippen - Toby: "Dr. Crippen was a murderous doctor who buried his victims under the floorboards of his house."
Tonight - Todd: "This one was written the same afternoon as So Precious." - Toby: "I had written some words in the car some weeks prior that fit the music we were playing." - Todd: "The idea was to write a soccer chant - something that would translate in a hockey arena." - Toby: "We wanted horns on Tonight and So Precious so we called some friends in from Denton to play the session."
Pullman, Washington - Todd: "I was listening to Coltrane's version of 'My Favorite Things' and thought about how silly the Sound of Music version was. It really wasn't a bad idea lyrically. This is my view of the original concept in a more personal and realistic form. I wrote the verse and chorus in Pullman, and the bridge on the bus en route to Boulder, Colorado."
Light the Fuse - Todd: "Verbatim from a conversation I had while watching T.V. one night."
Park Bench - Toby: "This song is years old. we brought it out and decided it would be good to do it as a straight ahead dance song. Only with all guitars and keyboards."
Becoming Light - Todd: "I had always wondered if it would be possible to suspend a 6/8 time signature across a chord progression that alternated between 4/4, 3/4, and 6/8. Any song can be counted in four if you try hard enough, the problem is making it feel comfortable. The result here is a mid-tempo stomper that is easily counted in 3,4, or 6. Everyone in the band counts it differently. Lyrically, it's the second half of Daybreak."
