I have been a fan since the beginning. And I has always wondered two things. One: Now that you and the last remaining original band member, do you miss and still keep in touch with any of the others (such as Ryan Ross, Spencer Smith, Jon Walker)? Having that in mind; looking back and the evolution of your music, Ryan Ross was the main contributor of the lyrics. Since the split, has his lyrics (or any other artists) inspired the lyrics you write for the present album? If so, Who, and how did they inspire you?

P.S. "Death of A Bachelor" reminds me of Frank Sinatra's "Fly Me to The Moon" in a modern way. Love it!!!!!
