“Some people focus on the odd lineup of instruments in Morphine, but the songs lack gimmicks. They're just good pop songs with a cool atmosphere.” Mark Sandman | Morphine Band

“Some songs are definitely inspired by noir kind of ideas, the idea of people giving in to bad ideas. That’s true. But I think there’s an over reliance on words like smokey, moody and dark to describe us. Because we definitely have some semi-humorous songs and some plain stupid and ridiculous songs. But I guess it’s better than some other words I could think of.” Mark Sandman | Morphine Band

Throughout Morphine’s discography, you can hear many different foods mentioned in Mark’s lyrics, which along with his love of wordplay and witty observations, became an integral part of storytelling in his songs. | Morphine Band
