You have to understand, I’ve been at this for thirty years. Writing songs for my wife, I mean. I started before we were married.
There are probably 20 of them at this point. She liked them, usually. Occasionally she didn’t, and that was the worst.
One day she told me, “Those aren’t songs about me. They’re songs about your feelings.”
That was a hard one. I struggled with it. Then, last Thanksgiving, I decided to take the challenge.
I had the week off, and I spent a lot of it working on a real song about her. I didn’t stop after I’d written one. No patting myself on the back this time.
Each time I asked myself, “Is it good enough?”
The first one was fun, and the second one sweet. The third was kind of funny. But none of them had what it took, in my opinion.
So I tried again.
This is the last one I wrote, maybe the last one I’ll ever write, because she cried when I played it for her.
The best of Adam's love songs to his wife. She was in the audience...
