I think because the first record caught people off-guard, there were certain expectations that were set up for this record and everybody kept saying it’s going to be huge, it’s going to be massive. And...

We were on tour so we couldn’t make it. But we saw the movie in Tucson with a regular audience during its opening weekend. By the time we left the theater, there were like 500...

We were trying to make sure the arrangement was good, because the song has a very dynamic and sweeping melody line,

That’s Shirley, tough and vulnerable. She’s the real thing,
