And Then Some - Commentary

"And Then Some" was a title that Josh Osborne had

And it's so subtle

That's, I think, the genius in it

Is that it's just such a blasé phrase

That nobody would ever think about

But if you tie in all of the human experience to that

It becomes this really gorgeous

I think it's beautiful to dive into what you were saying, the sadness

But I mean, that's so much of the foundation of country music

Is putting all those emotions and the heartbreak into a song

And then making it really approachable

Through the arrangement, through the music

And there is something really joyous about it

To be able to sing about

You know, to take

If you're a fan and you're a listener

And you're going through a hard time

To take that outside of you and put it to music that's

Beautiful sonically and sing about it, sing along with it

I mean, that's some of the best therapy you can probably do

You know, you throw in dancing and you're

Halfway back to being recovered and healed

So I would just think that's who we are as artists

And it's a landscape that we'll return to time and time again

Because that is the shared human experience

And it is something that I think it might be

The most relatable song on the entire album

And we were talking about, Cameron was

Talking earlier about how there is a certain

An element of escapism

But that one is just, that's everyday

That's everyday life that everybody can relate to

It's become one of my favorite songs to sing

And I love how it turned out

It's got tinges of R&B

And I think that might be the most mature song that we've cut
