Dave's Favs
Dave's Fav 1: “Nothing But Trouble” took Drew around 6 years to write, with multiple versions and revisions before the final release.
Dave's Fav 2: Drew wrote “Live Forever” in fifteen minutes as he contemplated his sister and her kids moving to Panama for work. It’s also his favorite song he has ever written.
Dave's Fav 3: Drew wanted “Family” to sound like growing up in a big family, as he did. Some words he uses to describe the tone of the song include “cacophonous”, “chaotic”, “loud”, in addition to “beautiful” and “hopeful”.
Dave's Fav 4: “You’ll Always Be My Girl” was written as a promise to Drew’s 3-year old daughter. He also wrote it by simply fooling around on the guitar and freestyling lyrics.
