SONG I WISH I WROTE: “Under Pressure”

5 PEOPLE I’D MOST LIKE TO HAVE DINNER WITH: Woody Allen, Annie Lennox, Cameron Crowe, P!nk, Betty White

MY FAVORITE CONCERT EXPERIENCE: Phish, circa 1995. I was not on drugs but certainly felt like i was. That show was transforming.

WE WROTE THIS SONG: by putting the movie “Pretty in Pink” on silent in AG’s living room. We wanted some of that John Hughes 80s American high school nostalgia to sink into our heads as the song developed. About a week later, we brought what we had written to songwriter/producer TIm Fagan, and along with his producing partner Dylan Charbeneau, they helped us reshape some of the lyrics and develop the sound palette of the song. It was the first Jules Larson + AG song written for the EP.
