- (On Bare Bones) This really is a new experience for me - it's almost as if I got to make my first record again. Larry really was the first person who ever said to me, 'Let's write every song on the record - you should do this.' I'd co-written with Larry a couple of times in the past, but this was a big leap for me as a writer, and also a deep exploration as a co-writer, not only in the experience of writing but also the message I wanted to portray. Like the end of any event - being up all night, or when the rain stops and the sun comes out, it's a transitional moment of getting past some kind of struggle.
- Standing on the Roof' was the first song I wrote for this project. I think it was meant to allow me to focus on a moment in time. I wouldn't say it's about looking at the future, but looking at everything at once and having the ability to pause and think about one's attitude to life.
