Daniel
“This song is by far the most personal to me. So personal in fact, that it almost makes me feel uncomfortable. It’s as if I ripped out a page of my diary and put it on display for all the world to see. This song is very much about me, and very much the truth. He is still a very special person to me in my life, whether he knows it or not. The vocal tracks on the album were supposed to be “demo” vocals. I laid down some vocals right after writing the song, and during that time, I was going through a really rough emotional war inside me about this special person. The vocal takes were…imperfect, sad, raw. A few weeks later when this song was confirmed to be on the album, I went back into the studio to record “Perfect” vocals for the tune. After a few takes, Toby (an awesome producer and writer) said, “When you first sang it, I felt like you were about to cry… Now it just sounds like you’re tired and stressed. Go home for a bit. I’m keeping the very first take of your vocals. There’s just something … special about them.” I wrote this song for me…and I wrote it for Daniel. ”
