one camera, one take…

little known fact: i have ANOTHER song called “something you wanted”. i wrote it with mike viola, and it fucking rules. obviously before i ever release it, i have to come up with a different name for it...because having 2 songs with the same name feels douchey.

THIS “something you wanted” was written with one of my most favorite humans & co-writers, sean douglas. he and i also wrote “used to be”, “way way back”, “blush”, “impossible things”... as well as a bunch of others in the vault. he’s a monster.

this is one of those songs where the album version kicks total ass (thank you david baron!) but the stripped down version just has a THING... a weird sort of swagger magic.

when i do solo shows in the future, i wanna put this one in every set. maybe i’ll put the other “something you wanted” in there too and play them in a row... or maybe i’ll just write 8 more “something you wanted”s and put them all on my next record... concept albums are underrated.
