Songwriting is no doubt a craft, sometimes springing seemingly out of nowhere and other times the result of combing through words and experiences in a quest to write the perfect song. During his long career and road to his eighth album You Get It All, Houston’s Hayes Carll has experienced...
"One of the most important things I've been apart of was to create that show and make that connection and give people a place to be during the pandemic," says Carll of his Tuesday series which he may pick back up again next year during touring breaks."I'm hearing from a lot of people that it really helped them and I know it really helped me so that just feels significant to me and I'm proud of what we did.
On “Nice Things” Carll taps the voice of God as she gently scolds mankind for what they’ve done to their home, a concept that Carll andwrote out together beginning with the idea of a woman scolding her husband for some trivial damage to their home and then deciding to zoom out and tell a wider story therefor increasing the effectiveness of the message.
“If I try to talk politics outside of the music people let me know real quick what they think about it, so I've learned that the hard way and that's everybody's prerogative. As far as putting stuff in the music, I don't feel like hitting people over the head with my beliefs and I don't necessarily enjoy preaching to the choir, that feels pretty hollow to me,” says Carll.
Carll also tells the heartbreaking story of a life affected by Alzheimer’s in “Help Me Remember” as the narrator begs the listener to ground them in their memories, a song Carll says was inspired in part by his own memories of his grandfather's dementia.
