"Emory said, "You know, I think this is really a great
song, but do you think a woman could do it?" Because, it was
a male voice doing the song. In the lyrics it says "I've just
been lonely too long", but what ended up happening, Emory
says, "I've got it." Cause I listened to the lyrics, and I
said, well, yeah, this is the 90's, a woman can sing about
that kind of thing, you know? Sex is not a new word to us,
you know, if that's what were going for here. But he looked
at me and he says, "I've got it," he said, "You need to turn
it into we've both been lonely too long, we've been lonely
too long. Then it just doesn't make the woman vunerable." It
just makes these two people lonely souls searching for one."
"It's a little bit more popish for me than any other
song that I've done. Everything else, even the up tempo stuff
that I've done has a little bit of an edge to it, a rock
edge, but it doesn't have this pop feel to it. And I think
"Lonely Too Long" does. And so that makes it a little bit
different."
