Northern Downpour

Guitarist Ryan Ross told VH1: This is definitely the most stripped down song in the sense that we want it to be all about the lyric and the melody. Jon (bassist Jon Walker) wrote the melody for the verse and I loved it, Spence (drummer Spencer Smith) loved it also, and (Jon) kept wanting to change it so I wrote the lyrics really quickly so he couldn't change it."

Ross said to Rolling Stone, April 3, 2008: "It was about touring and girlfriends and love and everything that's been important to us in the past few years. There's a line in the song that goes, 'I know the world's a broken bone, but melt your headaches, call it home.' I told Brendon (Urie, lead singer) to pay special attention to that line."
