I CHOOSE YOU

i originally came up with the idea of JEWEL after talking to my sister julie. my nickname for her has always been jul. i was living in pasadena and missing my family back in NJ. i talked to julie the day before a session. she was cheering me up by telling me everything would work out. she sounded so happy on the phone and when i asked she was telling me about how happy her boyfriend (now fiancé!) makes her. their love for each other has always been so true from the start, and i decided to write about it.

the next day, i brought this song and idea to nick at his house in LA. we got along to writing it in his kitchen. his neighbor has a very loud rooster and we kept talking about it throughout the day. when we got to the second verse, i said “this is gonna be about the rooster isn’t it” and nick just said “yes, yes it is” without even looking up.

i recorded this with andrew, ethan and john at heavy duty. we recorded everything to tape, and flipped the tape, so it would print out a backwards version of the song. we recorded the reversed print while the song was playing and it all felt like a dream.

alonso made this amazing artwork for the cover and the credits!! thank you to everyone involved for making this song a sonic dream. i feel very lucky to work with my heroes and having this some come out means the dang world to me
