#move you

1 Corinthians 15:58 (NIV) - Therefore, my dear brothers and sisters, stand firm. Let nothing move you. Always give yourselves fully to the work of the Lord, because you know that your labor in the Lord is not in vain.

Move You by Kelly Clarkson

You’ve written for several artists, including Kelly Clarkson. What was that like? I was writing with Molly Kate Kestner and Nick Ruth. We wrote a song called “Slow Dance” for Molly and it was kind of her life experience dating in a small town in Minnesota. She’s on Atlantic and Kelly is on Atlantic and somehow, by accident, it got to Kelly’s A&R. Kelly was like, “I love this, I’d love to have it,” so we were, of course, like, “absolutely, it’s yours!” She flew us out to Nashville twice and we had about a week of solid writing. There were like four different groups of people writing in different rooms and she would come in and listen, and if she liked it, she’d cut it. So we wrote “Move You” and she cut it, I think that day or the next day. She was really constructive. She would come in and listen to the song all the way through. If there was a part she was kind of iffy about, we would change it. She’s a really amazing person. She tweaked a couple lines actually on “Move You” and, you know, the thing to do -- anyone who messes with the lyrics, they get a percentage -- and she said, “I absolutely don’t want a percentage,” even though she tweaked the last verse quite a bit. And I just thought that was really gracious of her. I heard an interview with her about the songs on the album and she was asked if she had anything to do the writing on that song and she said, “no, it was all Amy and Molly.” She’s just really cool, and she gets to know your name. There was no “diva” at all.

I wanna move you like that
