Hallo!
Das Lied wurde für den Soundtrack zu „City of Angels“ geschrieben. Hier ein Kommentar von John Reznik:
„The lyrics for the song were sort of about-I was trying to write it from the perspective of Nicolas Cage, where he’s, he’s about to give up his immortality-and he’s sort of pondering that thought because he’s so in love and he wants to, he wants to feel something real for once.“
In another interview, he says, „I thought it was so cool to want to be with a woman so bad that you’d give your life…I wanted to step into his character and feel what he felt…My wife and I were kind of separated at the time, and ‚Iris‘ is a reflection of what was going on in my own life. You don’t realize that the song relates…until you step back from it. It’s just strange how a piece of music always relates back to my own life.“
