"so, being like a year or so out from the record 'so much for stardust' and looking back at it, the idea that this record was somehow a lot about the idea...how like one day you're not gonna exist and that can just be this big existential dread that kinda follows you around and it can feel paralyzing. but i think instead of just feeling paralyzed, it was important to make this record, and it's a weird record, and i say that because whatever you make — it's bracelets or tiktoks or videos or music — i don't know, you know, memes, whatever it is. make stuff. make stuff 'cause you have to make stuff, make stuff so you feel like you're alive. make stuff, and make the world a little more fucking weird." -pete wentz before heaven, iowa; sacramento, ca 3/3/24
