I can personally guarantee that she was a major part of the songwriting on Safe and Sound. She proved to be one of the best I’ve ever worked with. Selfless, generous, insightful, nuanced - with a CLEAR understanding of the assignment.
@DamonAlbarn
I was such a big fan of yours until I saw this. I write ALL of my own songs. Your hot take is completely false and SO damaging. You don’t have to like my songs but it’s really fucked up to try and discredit my writing. WOW.

This probably won’t endear me to many down my way. As a native Alabamian, and a person that proudly identifies with this state, I feel a responsibility to speak up. We don’t all believe that Roy Moore should be our Senator. I hope the final voting results reflect that.

It’s been 7 years since I played this.
I know it’s not the same. It’s not. You don’t have to tell me. These songs were written for two voices. But something finally called me to play them. I’m proud of them.
It felt good.

My 7 year old daughter said “Daddy, I need help getting dressed”. I told her that she was a strong young woman, and didn’t need anybody’s help, and could accomplish anything...and she stopped me and said “Dad. I can’t reach where my dress is hanging.”

My 3 year old nephew was asked what he wanted to be when he grew up. He said, “A tree-cutter. ‘Cause I’m a MAN.” My sister asked, “What if that doesn’t work out?” He smiled from ear to ear and said “Then I’ll be a butterfly.”

This was the best - and the worst - decade of my life.
I’m not sure I could relive it - but I’d like to believe it’s made me a better person, husband, and father.
I’d also like to believe that the next decade will be better for having lived this one.
Let’s find out.

To those wondering what a Republican would have to do to lose in Alabama: he would have to be pro-choice. Our elections are really just an abortion referendum. The majority is against it and will always use that to tip the morality scales back in their favor and pardon their vote

I can’t possibly tell you how this affects me. This is the architect of the sound that made me the artist and writer I am today. He took me under his wing and treated me like an equal, when I knew damn well I was not. All my love to Linda, and sons Rick, Jr., Mark and Rodney
