Dear Goofy Albuquerque/Now Living in Portland Boys,
You need to fire the copyeditor/proofreader of your liner notes. Seriously. And James Mercer, if it’s you…you’re smarter than this.
“Reign” = what a king or queen does. i.e. “rule”
“Rein” = the leather stringy bits that you pull back on to slow down a horse, or a fast situation, or what have you.
When you sing, in Turn on Me “You always had to hold the reigns“, you mean reins.
Still love you, but come on, that’s an easy one,
smooches, CMS
