I had one of my backup singers, my sister-in-law Laurie, go to Phoenix and the storage vault where all of our old cassettes are. She found the cassette and I played it for Glen Ballard and Dave Stewart at the studio just a few days ago. It’s kind of been lost for 30 years."

This is a song you penned yourself?

"Yes, it was just me and a little piano. I think I wrote it in 1976, maybe even ’75. It sounds like I’m 5. Glen Ballard said, “So where has this little gem been hiding?”

I was able to pull four or five songs out of my song vault, and then a song I wrote about the “Twilight” movies and a song about Hurricane Katrina and New Orleans. So I came into this record with only two new songs. I had no idea I was going to write songs with Dave."

She said she pulled 4 or 5 songs from the vault, but we all know her memory is a bit muddy, especially when it comes to live, on the spot interviews. If 5 songs were written without Dave (since there are 14 tracks and she said 9 were co-written with Dave), and discounting Twilight & New Orleans songs, that leaves at least three songs she pulled from the vault. Of course we now know about "Annabelle Lee" and "Secret Love", which means there could be one more vault song that she rerecorded. Here's hoping!

Also, I do believe "Italian Summer" was a cowritten song with Dave...and now that I'm thinking about it, could "Soldier's Angel" be the third vault song, since it was written about 5 years ago?

Still doesn't make sense. What about the Mike Campbell tracks? Did Dave cowrite those too.
My understanding she wrote lyrics to his music.
