Have you ever seen someone go through an absolute nightmare with their significant other and you just want to scream, WHY ARE YOU STILL WITH THEM? This song is dedicated to anyone and everyone who ever rolled their eyes at their friend who constantly complains about how unhappy they are but won't do anything to change it. You are angry but you can't cry for them anymore because you feel like they actually LIKE to be unhappy and complain. No rain for you. I love the harmonies on the chorus. I listened to a lot of vintage Linda Ronstadt while recording this track.  Also, can I just say Darren Dodd KILLED the drums.

She Says (No Rain)

When two of your favorite friends ask you to sing at their wedding, you spend hours and hours trying to figure out what on earth to play. And unfortunately, Aaron and Jennifer Tullar(Jen provides many of the background vocals on this record) gave me absolutely ZERO direction (sorry guys, it's so true) except I think they said "something pretty" and "play 'Call Me Maybe' as we walk back down the aisle as man and wife." (Which I did by the way). A day before the wedding, I sat down, thought about their relationship and wrote the first part of this song. It was short and sweet and worked well as far as timing on the aisle. (That girl walked REALLY FAST down the aisle to her future husband!) I've played this song a couple times live and always found it too short but didn't really know what to do about it. When the couple had their first child back in December 2014, I wrote the second verse. That's their little girl, Kate Jo, you hear at the end.

Worth the Fuss

I wrote this shortly after my father passed away in October 2014. My dad was in the Marine Corps for 20 years and it's a big part of who he was and growing up near Marine Corps Base Quantico, it's a big part of my life as well. So, Ann surprised me when we were recording by working in the Marine Corps hymn to the end of the song. It works so beautifully and was such a brilliant touch. Oh and by the way, special thanks to Sean McPherson on this one, I was kind of a mess recording the vocals on this one. Emotions.
