We just wrote songs that seemed good to us. We wrote the album in like two weeks. We could have had more time, but we accomplished what we needed to in the two weeks.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I actually had a week where I literally wrote four songs and all of them are on my album. But sometimes you'll go a week where you'll write songs and they never see the light of day. So that process takes a long time.
When making the first album, I think I wrote a song about every six months. The first album was so much about the vocals carrying it.
I always had to wait until something hit me, and I could write it. But when I would cut an album, to me it represented the time that I spent since the last one. Just the way I was looking at the world.
My first album was completed in three months.
It was hard to write or compose... we just had to go back and finish making songs. If we make 20 songs, we'll throw away 10.
I looked through our catalog year by year, and I saw that there were pockets of time when we wrote some terrific songs. Then all of a sudden, we'd go for another two or three months and there weren't great songs.
We just wanted to write a bunch of songs that we thought were good songs.
I didn't know how well my first album had done; it was enough to get me to do the second album, which was a continuation of the music I'd worked on and perfected.
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.
