FAVORITE LYRIC: “A picture of you holding a picture of me…In the pocket of my blue jeans…Still don’t know what love means…” – Ray LaMontagne, “Jolene”

MY FAVORITE CONCERT EXPERIENCE: Local Natives

I WROTE THIS SONG BECAUSE…Drew (our guitar player) wrote the guitar parts after attending a Bahamas concert and being influenced by their dreamy sound. He showed me what he had, and the words and melodies just fell out of my mouth. The song came together so easily; sometimes those are the best ones.
