Last Night - Commentary

[Spoken Word]
"Last Night" was written in the hills of Scotland. In an oat farm in the middle of Christmas tree fields. It's a beautiful place, owned by Ash, one of the writers of "Last Night", and his wife, Kimmy. And we traveled there to find inspiration, and we did. The session was really fun. We started with a song that -- well, we started with a production that kind of sounded like Fleetwood Mac, kind of a Fleetwood Mac-y inspired guitar line, and it reminded me in some ways, a little bit of "Dreams", which is one of my all-time favourite songs. And eventually after writing all thе melodies, and chords, and lyrics to it, we thrеw it all away. We threw the whole production away and just played the song with simply an acoustic guitar and me singing along to that. It was really magical, the song itself was so powerful, and that's when I realised that, for writing songs, you don't need much. You don't need the gadgets, the apps, the whatevers. All you need is just a voice, a guitar, and some good ideas, and there you go. And "Last Night" is really one of those songs.
