And the timing of it was so individual - there was no way Chris could get in there. The vocal and piano were just not able to be separated. But the guys were saying, "The timing is all over the place" so I said "Just let me weasel around and make it ok. If I'm playing brushes there's no absolutes, no hits, it can just grease around". So I spent about 24 hours - a long, long time - dropping in phrases, schmoozing my way around her timing, and that's the track that survived, with Stevie playing piano.
This one was special, I've never read it anywhere, thank you.
