home afterlife
We wrote what sounded good to us and hoped it would find a home.
feel-good feels greater
When you feel good about what youve written, there is just no high that is greater.
believe doors long
You just have to believe in yourself when you've got something, and just keep pounding on the door, because if you pound long enough, somebody is going to open it.
love-is someone-you-love triumph
Sharing a triumph with someone you love is an incredible high.
mistake learning made
You made a lot of mistakes, and you wrote a lot of crap. But it was all part of the learning process.
We were very fortunate to have been on the scene when we were.
best great
There is the great creative part of it. The writing is the best part.
boot produce
It was kind of like songwriter's boot camp. You had to produce. You had to produce fast. You had to learn.
incredible
Barry is an incredible singer. He's even gotten better through the years.
daring freedom gives main please recording
The main reason he wanted to be a recording artist was because it gives you much more freedom in your writing. You only have to please the artist and the artist is you so you can be more daring and experimental.
easier lives
A lot of guys spend their lives saying no because it's an easier way to keep your job.
barry middle midst
Barry and I were in the middle of building a house, and I was in the midst of having a nervous breakdown, because that's what you do when you build a house.
We are the yin and the yang of the creative process.
song real writing
On the other hand when you are someone who records their own songs you are basically stuck writing for one voice and for one style that can stifle you a bit. It's a real trade off.
