In Their Words: “I wrote ‘Damn Thing’ with my friend Brandy Zdan. Brandy is a talented singer-songwriter and guitarist living here in Nashville. Co-writing generally makes me very anxious but with Brandy it was relaxed and fun. I smoked an enormous joint and we wrote a song. It was what I would consider ‘a good day.’ To me the song is about the vulnerability it takes to be yourself and learning to be comfortable in your own skin. It’s about forgiving yourself and embracing the imperfections that make you unique.” — Carl Anderson
