When writing an album, I always write every song and sequence them fully before recording. Writing cohesive albums is one of the most important things for me, so I need to ensure that when recording, I know where each song is going on the record.
That being said, it almost always happens that about halfway through recording the album, I realize that some song I had written and planned for the album turns out to not quite fit on what the album is shaping up to be, or there is a thematic gap in the narrative of the album. When I was writing City Blues, I slated a historical WWI song I wrote soon after How Much Work was done.
As I was recording the rest of the songs for City Blues, I realized that the themes of the album (Dealing a lot with self-destruction, toxic masculinity, and rural/urban identity). I still needed a thematic bridge between the serene Eight Dollar Bill and the climactic rocker My Songbook is Falling Apart. I sat down and penned Just In This Moment.
The song was based on a note I wrote on my phone, late and deliriously tired one night, when I felt physically miserable, like my body was falling apart. I had chest pains, and I suspected that I was never going to wake up. I wrote the note halfway as a joke, or halfway as a way to soothe my exhausted mind.
Unlike many of my songs, this song is more or less a transcription of true events, at least on the surface. It is one of the saddest and most intensely painful songs on the album, and I think really gets at the emotional isolation that is a theme throughout.
“Something is broken inside me and I feel so empty each time that I look at the sun”

Ich stelle mich kurz vor:
So sah ich für mein Handy heute Morgen nach dem Aufstehen aus:
[]
Miste, kann hier auf der Seite kein Bild hoch laden.
Ich heiße Rouven und bin 1978 in Buchholz, Niedersachsen, Deutschland, geboren und lebe nun in Dulsberg, Hamburg, Deutschland, und bin seit ca. 4 Jahren in Tim Bendzko aus Potsdam-Mittelmark, Brandenburg, Deutschland, verliebt und liebe ihn über Alles!
Viel Spaß heute am Vatertag und lasst es euch und euren Lieben besonders gut gehen, ich habe meinen Vater seit ca. 25 jahren nicht mehr gesehen und bin ein wenig betrübt darüber gerade, aber es ist okay.
Euer Rouven.

So this guy plays with John Mayer sometimes, but as it ends up, makes some pretty great stuff by himself.
