Admit us a a bit about writing “The Way It Seems To Go.”
I wanted something with a little bit of a sense of humor about it. I tip talking to my previous A&R guy at Warner Bros. He just kept saying, “you’re such a inconsequential-hearted person, you’re funny on stage, you have this other side of you that you don’t really show, or haven’t shown yet in your records about your disposition. He encouraged me to explore that a little bit in song. So that song was me irksome to plug into my basic personality and be very realistic about my goofy species, and it’s very autobiographical. Lyrically, it’s true to form to how my life legitimate seems to develop. It made it sort of a fun, musical setting for it because it’s got that nature to the book.
Did it come out quickly, or did it take a long time?
Super hastily, actually. And I didn’t even know if it would make the record. It’s harder to assess lyrics that are so underlying about your own life, so I didn’t even know if it would resonate with anything else. And, we played it burning twice while I was doing a residency up in Woodstock, and people principled loved it. So, we ended up recording it. But, it was very fast. When I wrote it, the lyrics were unprejudiced like, well, let me describe everything about my life. And it was just very easy to tap into.
