You mentioned writing songs with a bridge. In general, your songs are really well structured. How do they come together?<\/strong><\/p>\n I always start with a verse or a chorus. I\u2019ll write one, and then I\u2019ll write the other, and then I need a bridge. I can\u2019t make a song without a bridge. In my opinion, a song without a bridge is not a song; it\u2019s an idea. If I went into Tony\u2019s studio with a song without a bridge, he would refuse to produce it, which is why I like Tony. He\u2019s genuine. He can make a shit ton of money on me, but if I went in without a bridge, he would still refuse to produce that song. So my goal with every song is to write the best bridge that I\u2019ve written so far. I definitely challenge myself the most on a bridge.<\/p>\n I\u2019ve heard something super similar from the members of Squeeze. Have you spent any time diving into Tony\u2019s back catalog?<\/strong><\/p>\n No idea who that is! No hate to Tony, but I literally only know him from Phoebe Bridgers\u2019s stuff.<\/p>\n Your album is called I Barely Know Her,<\/em> which is kind of an old person\u2019s joke, right? Like, \u201cSombr? I barely know her!<\/em>\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n I love it because it can be a joke, but it can also mean so many things. It could be like, \u201cI barely even know her, I just met her.\u201d Or it can be like, \u201cOh, maybe I barely knew her at all.\u201d So I love that you can interpret it however you want. And of the different tracks on the record, some may be \u201cI barely know her,\u201d the joke, and some may be \u201cI barely know her,\u201d but serious.<\/p>\n How did you start writing love songs?<\/strong><\/p>\n I feel like as long as I\u2019ve been writing songs, they\u2019ve been love songs. I think they\u2019re the most commonly written type of song. I\u2019ve been lucky to not lose a close family member or go through much. Love is all I have to write about in my life\u2014until something else happens, it\u2019s going to be love songs.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
