“Well Joe and I really love sad songs. We’ve always bonded over music. We write the saddest songs; we just love sad songs, what I can I say. He started that one, and came up with the melodic structure of it. I say it was a surprise that we started writing together, but in a way it wasn’t, because we’ve always bonded over music and our musical tastes and he’s always showing me songs by artists that then become my favorite songs or whatever. But champagne problems was one of my favorite bridges to write. I love a bridge where you tell the full story in the bridge, you shift gears in that bridge. I’m so excited to one day be in front of the crowd when they sing ‘she would’ve made such a lovely bride/what a shame she’s fucked in the head’ because it’s so sad, but those songs like All Too Well - performing All Too Well is one of the most joyful songs I ever do. When there’s song like champagne problems, you know its so sad. You know that! But I love a sad song, you know?”

the way this is supposed to be the prime of my life
