this has a red square drawn around it in a magazine i was reading, interview with angus and julia stone.

when queried as to the origins of And the Boys, julia keeps her emotions in check as she explains quietly, "angus and i had a christmas at home, maybe about a couple of years ago and i bumped into an ex-boyfriend.. we'd had a really amazing experience a few years before and i hadnt seen him since then. it was the first time we'd seen eachother since forever and it was nice.. but it was really sad as well. it was just a realisation that you can really know someone and connect with someone.. and years down the track there's nothing, you're just like 'hey. cool. see ya.' she sighs."
"i was really sad about it, i went home and i think i had a good cry.. i wrote (and the boys) in that space but listening back on it what i really think its about is my way of saying that things have to change to get better." reciting her own lyrics julia goes on, "there's gold falling from the ceiling of this world/there's gold falling from the heartbreak of this girl," i think within the heartbreak, and within the sadness of everything, these beautiful things come out of it.. its like you cant have growth, you cant have evolution, without shit falling apart..."
she grins knowlingly.
