Текст песни 17 Crimes - Commentary - AFI

17 Crimes is the first single off of Burials, and I'm glad that it is
When we had written it, my immediate thought was
"That better be the first single"

We wrote the song in, like, fifteen minutes

It was one of the fastest moments of creation
Jade and I sat down and he played the verse riff
And I wrote the lyrics right then and there, and we demoed it out

We were playing the song as if we already knew how to play it
It just kind of came very naturally

It's one of my favorite songs on the record
There's not a lot of pop on the record
And it's one of the poppier songs

It's deceptively sort of a pop-sounding song
But really, as far as the creation of it, it was the rawest one
They don't always happen like that
But sometimes they do and it's very fulfilling in that way
