{{Matt|I was living at his house in Boston, and he was out here trying out people to replace me. He came back for a weekend. We sat around and sang songs, played his songs and my songs, other people's songs. I had been stuck on that song for a really long time. I just couldn't figure out how to finish it up, and it had taken me like three years to write that song. It's one of the only ones that took a long time, and I had basically just given up on it all together. So I played it for him and he sort of worked on it with me. It was cool and relaxed. It was the first time we got to truly collaborate on something.}}</blockquote> | {{Matt|I was living at his house in Boston, and he was out here trying out people to replace me.
