In Their Words: “I started writing this song feeling sorry for myself, eating tacos and drinkin’ beers in a motel room in Joshua Tree, California. But when Clare Reynolds turned it into a duet with me, the whole thing took on a new perspective. It became less about self-pity and more about how to feel alive, and how to love. We were lucky enough to play recently in this rural town of 700 people, at the Cobargo Folk Festival in New South Wales, Australia, just a 12,500km stone’s throw southwest of California. And the good people at Yuin Folk Club & Pegleg Productions captured this live video in the local hall as the first of a series they are doing called the Cobargo Sessions.” — Jordie Lane
