why is new canaan so satisfying to listen to? what musical shenanigans have you pulled
ultimately i think it's all a result of the original writing session, which took place actually at most of the locations described. i think the genuine energy of the journey carried itself all the way down through the years of re-writes and finally to production, 5 years later. things were patched up and enhanced in the re-writes, from those extra years of writing experience, and some of the best parts might be those re-writes, but they still got their power by drawing more deeply from the original experience. would recommend. grab a notebook and go to a town you've never been before, and write something along the way
