Sex Talk 003: Al Warren

In the course of our jobs we've come to find out that musicians use their phones differently than non-musicians. They're using voice memos, or voice notes, or whatever app, to record the barest bones of their next song. To us, those of us who don't play an instrument, who don't move through the world being pelted by melodies all day, it seems miraculous—first that there are so many and second how much they transform as they move from daydream to iTunes. So we're asking—just asking—singers and songwriters and producers to let us hear the often very modest beginnings of the music we love. This song, like every song, even the best ones, the ones that sound like they fell fully formed from the sky, had a modest beginning. And though it caused Natalie some pain, she let us hear the first gawky iteration of what became "Why Don't You Believe In Me."
