52 this year of the last piece of this puzzle, I guessWas a lot of things. I thought that this particularVolume would be just the orphans. It would be the leftovers ofme trying to make things fit that just didn't fit andIKnow when I first started out because I was trying to do these linearlyI was I was in fear of what this last one might look like that it was going to be the worst andI started to play a game with myself ofWhat I call best song winsright, I it doesn't matter where it comes from or why or whatever, but it is best song wins andliterally until aboutTwo weeks before due date. It was going to be a record of love songs andI scrapped it and I went back to the drawing board because Ihadsort of in the background constantly been concerned about what is the best song andI decided that the best song was the song that felt the most trueWhich is a song called New Year's resolution number sevenWhich is the last song on this whole collection and it is a conversation that I'm having with myselfLiterally on New Year's DayBeside my fireplace in my house trying not to wake anyone else in the house upAs I was writing it, I also had the record button down andI kept getting it wrong. Like Ikept not being able to get through it because I was crying andTypically when I start crying while I'm writing it's cuz I'm on the truth andIt took me seven tries to do it. That's why it's number sevenEven after all these things were put togetherThat song is why I went back and started to say well what songs are truereally truethat are here andThey weren't the leftover Lego pieces. You gotta understand they wereThere were hundred it was like college applications. There were hundreds of songs applying for these 14 positions, right andIt became one of the hardest ones to put togetherbecause of thatso it is a verydiverse sort of little journey, but inEssence, I realized that this is the end of catching you up as a listenerOver the last 15 years of my life to get you to where I amBecause we have a lot of work to doBut I can't start this work until we get you hereI think about the songs that didn't quite make it and I think well, you know, maybe they'll have a life somewhere elseBut I'll tell you what. I didn't leave anything unsaid
