trivia:
when the band pitched their dream video for “rooftops (a liberation broadcast)” to their record label, it was refused because it would have cost 8 million pounds to produce. it subsequently went through several re-drafts before they settled on the final version.
the chorus of “rooftops (a liberation broadcast)” was inspired by the scene in the film garden state where the characters are screaming into a pit. the general theme of the song also matches the film’s — “make a mark” in your life while there’s still time.
