I think everything is better,” begins Brian Fallon, when asked to compare the last time The Gaslight Anthem released an album to now. It’s a simple answer, but an emphatic one. “ Everything!” The one thing about every band that creates a meaningful legacy is that they are fundamentally them,” he adds. “And this record is really about taking ownership of us.” They remerged in the summer of 2018 to celebrate the tenth anniversary of their 2008 album The ’59 Sound with a brief tour, but no material arrived, and Fallon remained focused on his solo career. He released four solo albums between 2016 and 2022 and toured all over the world. But the Gaslight Anthem returned to the road in 2022 and began working on new songs with producer Peter Katis.

On the subject of Spider Bites: the line ‘ We struggle for each other’ is absolutely beautiful. Where did that come from? Mueller, Andrew (October 27, 2023). "The Gaslight Anthem – History Books". Uncut . Retrieved October 29, 2023. What’s evident in every inch of Brian Fallon’s voice is that ‘History Books’ represents not the belated closing of a chapter in the Gaslight Anthem story, but instead the opening of a new one altogether.

Notes

There’s an old jazz standard called I Have The Room Above Her, and it’s a love song, like, ‘I hear her come in, and I hear her get dressed, and I’m in love with her, blah blah blah…’ I thought that was kinda cool. And I’m a big comic book nerd – I love Batman, and I love the really spooky Batman comic books, like Damned and Arkham Asylum and The Long Halloween. The really dark ones. I was reading it, just sitting there at my desk one day, and thinking about I Have The Room Above Her. And I was like, ‘That’s also kinda weird and stupid, because he’s listening to this lady down below him, and it’s a weird kind of voyeur thing.’ But then I was like, ‘What if she’s a vampire and she’s killing people down there?!’ People think it’s about having an affair – with the lines, ‘ But I’m afraid that if I see her / I will not see you again’ – but it’s not about that; it’s because she’s gonna kill you. You start reading enough comic books and really spin your imagination, and I was like, ‘What if this lady is a vampire or a murderer, and she lives beneath him?’ And there’s the line, ‘ Sometimes I think I hear some movement / Like something can’t get away,’ and he’s hearing all these weird sounds, like, ‘What is going on down there?!’ but he’s too scared to look. And so, actually, it’s a horror song ( laughs). And then the end is the guy sitting in the corner of his bedroom late at night, and he’s playing the radio really quiet, so she doesn’t hear him and know that he’s home. I’ve never told anyone what it’s exactly about before!”
