- Take_Us_to_the_Start text "For pretty much all the songs for the record, when we were recording, would start with an acoustic demo where we would just play the song, and we would build on that and change stuff around. We would use that as the skeleton of the song.".
- Take_Us_to_the_Start text "I always have a hard time describing songs and saying what they're about because a lot of them are about a lot of different things at the same time. I wrote that song right after the first nationwide tour I went on. I just recorded the album, we were getting ready to release it, and so it's kind of about getting my career going. It's about being on tour and being away from home at the same time, and about starting this new thing.".
- Take_Us_to_the_Start text "I started writing songs after my first real girlfriend broke up with me. I wrote one song that maybe wasn’t necessarily the nicest, this song about a girl I was dating at the time who I had been friends with for a long time, but had a slow attraction that blossomed through that. That’s what the song is about.".
- Take_Us_to_the_Start text "I try to read as much as I can, and I find that reading good books and poetry always helps put my mind in the right place to write lyrics. Listening to other great songs helps too. Bob Dylan is one of my favorite artists. His lyrics are incredible to me. They're very poetic and descriptive. I find that filling my mind with that type of stuff helps me write that way as well. Lately, I've been reading a lot of F. Scott Fitzgerald. One of my favorite books of all time is Lord of the Flies. I like Charles Dickens too. They're some of my favorites.".
- Take_Us_to_the_Start text "I wrote it with Sara Bareilles, she has that hit "I'm Not Gonna Write You A Love Song." My producer also produced her album, so he had her come into the studio one day for us to play together and see what would happen. We ended up writing "You In The End," and she's a really cool songwriter, I just love the way she writes. Things flow from her in a cool way, very naturally.".
- Take_Us_to_the_Start text "It was actually the first song that I wrote for her . We'd been friends for a while, and that's what the song's about. I never really saw the things that I started to see in her until I started becoming attracted to her.".
- Take_Us_to_the_Start text "It's kind of about older relationships, yeah. Before I did the solo thing, I was in a band here in Tampa and we played here for a couple of years. And then I decided to go solo and got signed to the label. There's a certain amount of drama that goes along with that, you know. Being in a band is hard, and breaking up a band is hard because it's like breaking up a relationship. So some of "Out Of The Dark" is about what I was going through in relation to that.".
- Take_Us_to_the_Start text "That's the oldest song on the record. I wrote it probably four-and-a-half or five years ago, and it was right after a break-up, right when it kind of sank in for me. I remember sitting in my bedroom at my house, and I picked up my guitar and just kind of wrote whatever came out. You know, some songs, they kind of take a while. You have to work at them to try to get 'em right, and it can take up to a month or more. But this is one of those ones that just came, and I wrote it in probably about half-an-hour to an hour. I tried to not really think about the words I was saying as much as the feeling I was trying to get across.".
- Take_Us_to_the_Start text "The whole co-writing thing was kind of hard for me to get used to at first, because my song writing process before was a very personal thing, just by myself, in my room, and it was hard to get used to opening up that thing to somebody else. But it was really cool to work with these folks- I feel like I learned a lot.".
- Take_Us_to_the_Start text "We have about five songs that we recorded demos of that didn't make it on to the album. One of these songs that we released on iTunes a month or so ago is called "Hurricane" and it's on that. It's a really cool song, I love it a lot. It may make its way onto an album with a full band version of it somewhere along the way.".
- Take_Us_to_the_Start text "Yeah, that's what we were trying to go for there, and then with the bridge, bring it up, like the sun is rising, like we're coming out of the dark, that was what we were going for when recording that. That's a song that I like a lot.".
