“Sparkletoys Last All Summer Long is a song about a bunch of shit that seemed important when I was catching flack from every angle in the 9 story building in Detroit my friends and I were renting. We threw illegal parties, hosted openings for outsider artists, and made a gigantic mess in what we called “Sparklewood”; a sort of loosely based collective of fiends, drug dealers, Detroit indie rock bands and visual artists. Being new to Motown (and directly dumped from New Jersey after a failed record deal with a big California indie label), this song speaks of the hopelessness I came to know in a bleak new city where I felt (and still feel) very alone.”—Kerry Trusewicz

“I used to be on the corner selling but now I serve the Rock of Salvation…living my life for Christ instead of the streets is the best changed I ever did.”—Burnetta Hood

“This is a song that I wrote about a time when I was just about to get out of the Army after 9 years, and the last thing that I was asked to do was go and tell this woman that her husband had been killed. And so, I drove down quickly, memorizing my script to read to her as I drove and performed this duty. It was obviously hard, and this is the story of that day…”—Lee Sager
