![]() ![]() ![]() T.V.: I mean, she's one of the best ever. I mean I knew Carrie had a great voice, but I was just blown away. Do both you remember the first time you heard it? And I've certainly had those people come up and talk.ī.H.: And then there's Carrie. You can see when you're singing to people, you know the ones, it's really moving them. M.G.: They come up, (people) who did decide not to stay in their town, realizing that if we don't do something then there's gonna be an opportunity wasted. People must come up and be so emotional (and tell you) how this impacted their lives. ![]() T.V.: I think it was in my mind it was conscious from the beginning to make it vignettes.ī.H.: I often ask this, especially (with songs) that make me feel the way this song makes me feel. I've never heard that before.ī.H.: Wasn't there a conscious decision to keep it as one character or make it sort of vignettes? T.V.: Yeah, that's my favorite line in the song!ī.H.: God, it's so good. I said, "Pouring raindrops back into the cloud." She started going off on this lyric and then we all chimed in.ī.H.: And I think you followed it up with, with the next couple lines. ![]() and Hillary out of nowhere, I remember her going, "Standing at the front door, she tried to make it fast." I was like, "What is that?" M.G.: Musically, Troy was just in this little groove (on guitar). I think it was Marv's idea that we cut the first chorus in half and then we cut the second verse in half.ī.H.: So, musically, what happened that day? T.V.: Yeah, we didn't go that far, but we had a few extra verses that didn't end up in the song, and we cut some of them as we were doing the demo of the song. He was arrested for freebasing cocaine in 1982 just a few months before the song was released. His drug abuse got really bad in the late 70s and was an issue when they recorded this song in late 1980 and early 1981. I don't know if you remember this, (Marv), but you wrote a lot more of the song than ended up in the song. We wrote a bunch of vignettes.ī.H.: So you wrote (a song like) "The House That Built Me." I say that because, apparently, that was nine pages. David Crosby was, in fact, wasted around this time, a point disc jockeys often made when playing the song. T.V.: I think that's what made the song resonate with people, that it's not (a party song). It was a fun exercise to write it as far away from that as we could. T.V.: Yeah, another party song is what it kind of sounds like.ī.H.: But isn't that the genius of how this turned out? You know?ī.H.: Well, if I had been you or Hillary and you'd said "wasted," the obvious connotation. For me, the idea was just dealing with how to use the word "wasted" in different ways, and then also just reflecting on not wanting to waste time. M.G.: I did have a title I wanted to write (a song to) called "Wasted." I don't know if you remember. Marv Green: I believe it was at Troy's house. Do you remember it, how this write started?

So while you might search for solace at the bottom of an ice cream pint (not that I'm speaking from personal experience here.), music is actually a great source of much-needed catharsis. I feel the song is talking about that time in youth when you feel like you dont really know where you are going but you moving through the motions, outdated as. Sometimes breakup songs are the best medicine for healing heartache, because lyrics map out those melancholy feelings that you can't quite put into words on your own. And with so many different emotions running through you at once, it can also be super hard to understand what you're feeling, exactly.
