First of all I would like to congratulate you all on your new album - it's certainly a banger. I have loved watching your band evolve from album to album and song to song.
I am an urban planning university student in Ontario, and I've been asked to write a paper about a Canadian band and how place is present in their work. I not only chose you because I'm in love with your music, but also because your lyrics so eloquently paint a picture of your love for your city. Your songs False Creek Change, The Banks of the English Bay, Big Wave Goodbye, and many others are so beautifully written. I would love to hear your opinions about Vancouver's direction from the whale's mouth - so to speak. Many of your songs talk about saying goodbye and are nostalgic in a sense; is this because you don't like the direction Vancouver has taken? Do you think the city has oppressed the fisherman lifestyle?
