Given all the pieces we have from all three writers, I think it's safe to say that we have a very clear picture of how that song was concocted. It used to be a major mystery, but it is no longer. |
Holy cow. Those are so fun to listen to. Love hearing all the little comments they make as part of the creative process. It sounds like they almost had a fun mexicana-vibe going at one point.
