When people ask me about songwriting, that’s what I tell them. It’s everything I can do to not just say “Stop everything I have to go and write a song about this movie because I need to write a song about this fictional relationship that I can’t stop thinking about.” The tragedy of this movie is so intense and so beautiful you can hardly stand it and you go home and think about it for days afterwards. Or I can see a movie-say, it’s a movie with Michael Fassbender called The Light Between Oceans-and I can’t get this movie out of my head. I can be sitting in a parking lot waiting for my assistant to come to the car and I see a couple walk by and I can see their fingers gently touch and see him open the door for her and look at her and her look at him and for a moment they just stand still in time… and then I can go home and write a song about them.
