There's a song called 'All We'd Ever Need,' which is actually the first song that the three of us wrote together on our first album, and when we wrote that song I didn't have any real experience to pull from.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
If we were to use the success of 'Need You Now' as the barometer for every other song, then we'll probably be highly disappointed. That song will probably undoubtedly be the biggest song of our career. We can hopefully have success for 20 years, but we may not ever have the success of that one particular song again.
So I didn't have anything to do with picking the songs, but I got to musically take them in places I thought might be interesting, so it was a real neat collaboration among the three of us.
We became the songs we wrote.
We knew we wanted to put a lot of melody into it - a lot more than what we did on our first album.
Music became an obsession, and eventually we felt more comfortable with each other then we did with anyone else. The three of us were like one person.
It's really touching that we can come back after so long and care about making an album that says as much as this one does. And after all this time, we really do care about each other.
We'd have made more, but I kept forgetting to write songs down.
We went through this business of me writing out all the parts for these old songs from Gravity and Speechless and we'd been performing that, but we don't do that any more.
I've probably written about three albums that no one will ever hear.
Every record we do, we do one song we didn't write.
