Urie explains that the song details giving up his single life and how comfortable he is with that change. "You kinda find this person that you connect with and you can kind of throw away your history. You don't want to just forget about it.
"You just don't need to look back. You don't regret anything from the past. You don't have any want to go back to a life of being a bachelor. You know I met my wife Sarah and I was just like, this is it," says Urie. "I figured out that this is the happiest that I've ever been."
Urie addresses what fans must think of him, noting that it's no secret that fans seem to prefer single celebrities. "You're a rock star. You should be this single dude that goes around and sleeps with a bunch of girls. That's not really me, you know. This was just my voice, telling exactly how I felt at that time."
"It's like if Sinatra and Beyonc� made a song together," Urie half-jokingly explained to Wentz. "It's like some Beyonc� beats with some Sinatra vocals. It's really crazy."
It's no secret that Urie idolizes Sinatra, the singer who would have been 100 this year. "I attach his music to so many memories," he said in a post. "Opening presents on Christmas day, my grandparents teaching the rest of the family to swing dance, watching "Who Framed Roger Rabbit" with my siblings (Sinatra makes a cameo in the form of a cartoon sword singing "Witchcraft"). His music has been a major player in the soundtrack of my life. So it's only right that I return the favor and/or pay it forward."
Listen to the "Death of a Bachelor" here.
Drummer Richard Danielson told The Blues: "On our first record we recorded live with no click, and we were a little nervous that a producer might want to come in and really overproduce on this sophomore record.

"Scream was the track we felt really opened the Album with the kick we were looking for," says mainman Blackie Lawless. "The animation on the video is outstanding and truly takes you on a trip.

The lead track from Clutch's forthcoming 11th album, "Psychic Warfare", due October 2 is set in a motel along any one of America's vast system of highways.
"A lot of it is fueled by our experiences in motels over the years," explains Fallon. "When Clutch was first starting out in our van, in our RV, we would just roll until we ran out of steam�either sleep in the van or the RV or we would go into a motel. It was never planned.
"I spent countless nights looking out the peephole of the motel wondering what's going on in the parking lot at 3 AM or pressing my ear up against the door that connects to the next room. You don't know who's in the next room. These places can be pressure cookers."
"To add to the formula," he says, "a lot of people in these places are living on the margins of society; maybe they're running from something. The motels are definitely pressure cookers that can exaggerate paranoia and delusion and that's what this song is about."
Clutch are gearing up to play select festival dates along with a Labor Day weekend show at The Joint in Las Vegas supporting Primus. The band will also be co-headlining with Mastodon on select dates with special guests COC as part of leg 2 of The Missing Link Tour which features full sets by both acts.
Check out the song and listen to the full audio with Fallon here.
The band released 10th album The Ride Majestic last month, following 2013's acclaimed double LP The Living Infinite. Strid tells The Rockpit: "I did feel pressure, and I think the rest of the guys did as well - but I think it was a healthy pressure, because we felt that we found something new.
"We found new confidence in writing The Living Infinite, that we can pull off writing a double album and that we can find other ways of expressing ourselves. So I think we felt really excited even though the pressure was there. We knew that we found something new that we could develop."
He adds: "This album is even more focused on the melancholy that we found with The Living Infinite. The extreme parts are even more extreme and the softer parts are a little bit softer - it creates a really interesting dynamic." Read more here.
The duo of bassist/singer Mike Kerr and drummer Ben Thatcher played on a bill headlined by Metallica on Saturday and repeated their sets at Reading's sister event, the Leeds Festival, on Sunday.

Performing Smith's "Lay Me Down," Hozier brings his entire band for a pepped-up, rockin' version of the Smith ballad. It's the kind of cover that works completely in the context, making you wonder why no one else thought to put some jump into the Smith song previously.
The cover even got the attention of Smith, who tweeted out "Brother @Hozier - f--g love the Live Lounge cover!!!! Anything you sing makes me heart jump xx Big kisses sir xx" Check it out here.
"[Scent] is something that connects you to a specific time, a memory, a place, a person," Rihanna said. "There was even one point where my makeup artist was wearing a perfume I used to wear with an ex. And I was like, 'Don't. I know exactly what you're wearing. Don't wear that tomorrow because I don't want to think about that,'" deadpanned the singer.
Rihanna also noted: "I want to create great memories, hopefully, [for] young ladies. I want them to feel fun in this fragrance. This fragrance is all about a fun mood, a flirty mood, and that's what young women are." Read more here.
Woodruff tells Musicradar: "It's something we've been thinking about over the past few years. If we ever ditched the concept stuff, it wouldn't be Defeater, it would be something else.
"Plus, after seeing how Derek has crafted these concepts and storylines, we are all curious about how far we can take it. I don't think we'll ever run out of things to write about. Without that stuff, I'm not so sure it would be a true Defeater record." Read more here.
Lyrically for me this was pretty early on in the writers journey of self discovery, so I just wrote about what I knew. I thought about a girl I was dating in my brief 2 semesters at San Diego Sate, and how wildly complicated love can be. The girl in the song is inspired by her, and that struggle of holding on to who we are in the face of the emotional trauma that belonged to both of us, much more so for her. We had only been seeing each other for a matter of months but our connection was strong. There are no words to describe the change that took place in our relationship when her mother committed suicide. All of my youthful na�vet� came crashing down on me like a hurricane, I had never felt so powerless and confused.
The song itself is told from a selfish point of view, my own. I would never presume to understand how she must have felt during that time. I was too young to know a good thing when it stared me in the face, and too blind to see how much she really cared for me deep down, and I for her. I feel blessed to be able to share these experiences through my songwriting.
The lesson I eventually walked away with is that no matter what path I choose, and no matter how many incidents and accidents appear along the way, all I can do is follow my instincts right or wrong and stay true to myself. As long as I don't let the worst of me get the best of me, I'll always be able to look myself in the mirror and know what I'm fighting for. All dreams come slow, and none of them come without serious learning experiences. This was one of mine.
Hearing is believing. Now that you know the story behind the song, listen for yourself as you watch the video here and learn more about the EP and Jacob right here!
