He’s In Love

The subject of Dennis’s affections cruelly recounts their awkward date.

“He’s In Love” was written while we were in the studio making our final run at the record. I brought it (and another one called “Sin & Bones”) in at the end of the tracking sessions. We laid ’em down thinking they were demos but this one just wouldn’t let go of my imagination. When I realized the song captured the potential feelings of the young woman Dennis Bland was fixating on it was obvious it belonged on the record.

I love how relaxed the whole band sounds on this track until Johnny Nason’s lead guitar takes it to that next level without ever breaking into full solo. While Johnny shines in the spotlight the secret power of this track is in Brian Schey’s bass part. Onstage Bryan could be a real showman and even though there’s nothing show-y about his playing on the record, musically minded listeners may recognize the subtlety of his invention throughout “UnPop…”
