I think "Stay Awake" just because it sounds like there's such a groove in it, and I love the production. OTW: I think it would be impossible for us to pick just one, but going through that whole process, do you have a favorite song from your album? And why? I'd say about half the songs came about that way. And then there's a second verse, and then I'll go in to record it. And then you know, out of that, I'll sort of go "I have a verse that's really good," like a melody or idea lyrically, then I'll just keep playing it over and over again until I find a chorus. Usually I'll record for about 10 minutes, and within that 10 minutes, there might be nothing, but sometimes there's 30 seconds or something that are great and sometimes there's a minute or so that's great. And then I'll sort of just push record on my iPhone and start singing stuff. You know sometimes I'll just pick up the guitar and start strumming or I'll hear an amazing song and be like "Oh that's so good," and just pick up the guitar and be inspired by someone's really great work. ![]() So, me sitting on my bed, having down time, sort of nothing to do, it's usually late at night, and I'll just get inspired.
