Hancock: Joni, she's a poet. And her songs really emanate fresh from the words, you know -- that's the core place that she comes from. I knew I'd have to have the lyrics be the driving force for my record, too.
So we spent a lot of time discussing the words to Joni's songs...
. In a lot of cases, her words are descriptive of a particular place where some activity was taking place, and even certain characters. We'd discuss that, and get almost a visual idea of what the lyrics were about.
If anything, it was more like the way you'd approach doing a soundtrack, kind of a cinematic approach.
