Only You Can Love Me This Way

Single Release0 Comments

Urban releases his single, Only You Can Love Me This Way, from his album, Defying Gravity. Urban:

This is a song that (producer) Dann Huff brought to me. There are certain songs that I wish I could have written because the phrasing of them is not instinctual to me. I like to be able to do something a little different.

Til Summer Comes Around

0 Comments

Urban releases his single, Til Summer Comes Around, from his album, Defying Gravity. Urban co-wrote the song with Monty Powell. Urban:

I had this idea about a theme park. For me, there’s something fascinating and deeply sad about theme parks in the wintertime when they’re shut down. I loved that metaphor. So I said to Monty that I wanted to write about a guy who meets a girl at a theme park. They have this brief fling and she says she’ll be back, so every year he’s still there waiting. ‘Longing’ is such a powerful feeling, and if you’re going to write about love, that’s a powerful way to get at it.

Kiss A Girl

Single Release0 Comments

Urban releases his single, Kiss A Girl, from his album, Defying Gravity. Urban:

I wrote a lot with Monty Powell and with ‘Kiss’ it was a song that Monty had the title for. We don’t often write from titles, but we just loved that title. You know, ‘I wanna kiss a girl,’ I loved it as soon as I heard it. We started writing the song a long time ago on my bus towards the end of the last tour and ‘Kiss’ didn’t really have the thing and we didn’t finish it. I was at his house one day working on something and we took a break and I found a little drumbeat and started playing an intro riff on electric and singing this melody and that title came back to me. We spent the afternoon playing at it and it wrote itself very quickly.

Start A Band

Single Release0 Comments

The artist releases his single, Start A Band, featuring Urban, from his album, Play. Paisley:

It’s probably not what you think, in the sense that it’s not a blazing fast thing. It’s more of a rockin’ Eagles style tune like back when Joe Walsh and Don Felder would play those harmony parts.
