Santa Cruz


quote
This was one of the first songs we had for the new album. Eric brought it to the table soon after we had played one of our most fun shows ever at The Crepe Place in Santa Cruz — this tiny little bar/restaurant that had the kindest staff, the nicest audience, and… you guessed it… the most delicious crepes! Anyway, all the boys in the band met beautiful women from the town, but we had to leave right after the show. I think they all wondered, ‘What could have happened if we stayed a little longer in Santa Cruz? Maybe I’d have married her?’ Eric was the one who chose to express that idea and turn it into a song.
