Rilo Kiley members Blake Sennett, Jenny Lewis, Jason Boesel, and Pierre Duke de Reeder discuss the band's evolution since their debut EP in 1999. Initially filled with the eagerness of youth, their perspectives on songs like "Pictures of Success" have shifted significantly over the years, reflecting their life experiences, such as marriage and parenting. The band humorously acknowledges how life events change their readiness for the future and their musical aspirations, showcasing their journey through various stages of personal and professional growth, culminating in a reunion after years apart.
I'm not as ready to go as I was then, joked Sennett, reflecting on how time and experiences change perspectives on life and ambition.
Since the release of the first Rilo Kiley EP in 1999, the band has survived affiliation with Hollywood, straddled mid-aughts indie exuberance, and found its way back together again.
Life comes at you fast, and as we navigate through marriage, children, and self-reflection, our readiness for the future inevitably evolves.
We should license that song to, like, Cialis, or something, Lewis suggested, humorously highlighting how perspectives on age and readiness have shifted over time.
