heart lie
Could tell a lie but my heart would know.
broken-heart song writing
I guess you could write a good song if your heart hadn't been broken, but I don't know of anyone whose heart hasn't been broken.
begin begun breaking city deal dealing grew heart loss mother
I can't begin to tell you how much my heart is breaking with what's going on in Louisiana. I haven't even begun to be able to deal with he loss of my mother, and now I'm dealing with the loss of the city my mother grew up in.
maybe might particular process song stay stop thinking
There's this process that comes about in writing a song where you just stop and see where it can go. Generally, a song will stay with the same idea. I might be thinking about a particular person, for instance. Then it will kind of go from there. And maybe by the end of the song, it will become something more universal.
life reflected time
The way I look at life, whatever I'm doing at that time in my life is going to be reflected in my songs, for the most part.

Sometimes I might borrow something from a song I started a long time ago and see if I can grab something.
attention grew
I grew up around writers. And it's all about attention to detail.
songs
My approach to recording and all that is pretty organic. It just has to do with all the songs I wrote; go in and record them.

I'm always coming up with ideas that have been inspired by memories, everyday life and this and that and the other.

I have a folder of scraps and pieces of paper with stuff, ideas for songs from the last 25 years; just little things, maybe early songs that I finished, but didn't think they were good enough.
speaking
Where they're just speaking in tongues, like they're on a drug or something... Would I really do that if that's what it would take?
aspect bring gets sexual sounds
In so many interviews, they bring up the sexual aspect of the record. I've had some journalists say it sounds like I'm lying down in bed singing with a microphone. It gets so old!
hug kiss
I just like to kiss and hug people! That's what I do! I'm physical!
couple
Y'all have made us so comfortable that we're going to do a couple of new songs,
