In Their Words: “I think we all love a good, sad breakup song because they’re a sort of therapeutic salve for the soul. Writing ‘Halfway to Houston’ was no different for me. It was important that I got it right. I spent a lot of time on the craft of this song: being particular about how the chorus gains strength each time it comes around; choosing the rhyme scheme — or lack thereof; cutting the chaff and keeping the parts near and dear to my heart. As a primarily acoustic musician, I love the musical elements and fullness the studio players brought to this song. Of course I have Mary Bragg to thank for taking this little acoustic song and bringing it to life in the studio.” — Alicia Stockman
