Like many bands, the three southern Californians of Nickel Creek have their compelling levels of mystery. But sometimes they still get asked to describe their music. "When I meet someone on a plane, someone who sees the instrument and wants to know what I do," says mandolinist Chris Thile, "I always say, 'It's acoustic." Guitarist Sean Watkins extols the freedom a trio can provide. "Because we knew each other so well musically as well as personally, our songs can take different shapes live without too much thought -- and it's really nice to have three versatile instruments when we leave the page." Violinist Sara Watkins will sum things up. "We use a lot of detailed arrangements, but there is also room for improvisation.

Young Lyrics
Nickel Creek
Young and with no clue
Now I wanna love you
Give me the key to what it's about
Everything I've read
And everything you've said
Prove you're over my head
Help me climb out
[Chorus]
I know that you don't need nobody
Are you sure you're that sure about me?
Hey what did I do?
I've spoken too soon
Listen to this tune
Forget the words
Wait until someday
'Cause when I know what to say
I'll say it in the best way you've ever heard
[Chorus]
I know that you don't need nobody
Are you sure you're that sure about me?
Young and with no clue
I still wanna love you
Give credit where it's due
I've got good taste
It's not like I wanna get married
I never asked you to kiss me
Just don't want you to be sorry you didn't try
