He used a lot of words. He tried to be very specific and descriptive, which is something I try to be as well.

"Craig Finn" is an United States/American singer and guitarist, best known as the front man for The Hold Steady and his former band, Lifter Puller. Described by Pitchfork Media/Pitchfork as "a born storyteller who's chosen rock music/rock as his medium," Finn's lyrics are often noted for having a strong literary bent, stringing together recurring characters and storylines throughout.
During a five-month break from The Hold Steady, Finn recorded a solo album, Clear Heart Full Eyes, which was released in January 2012.

Springsteen is a huge influence.
Lately, I barely drink anything until about 10 minutes before we play. Then I literally drink as much as I can.
We feel that Vagrant will allow us to bring our music to even more people, while also understanding the things that make the band special to The Hold Steady fans, and to the band members themselves.
You're still half a child, but you're getting in these adult situations with a sense of wonder and a sense of stupidity as well. I see it as a real universal suburban record.
