I don’t mind any question about anything. “I think anybody in your position would look at the material, look at the work itself and ask questions about where it came from, so I don’t mind. Is folks taking interest in his relatively new role as a father reminiscent of him breaking as an artist? Is there a parallel to the fascination with his notions on parenthood and the fascination listeners had about his songcraft when he was an emerging talent? It’s fun to watch them interact with other children.” “They went to a summer day camp this summer for a couple of weeks and that was their first organized school experience, you know? I did get to drop them off and pick them up a few times over that, which is really fun. I’m trying not to be sad about missing their first day of school,” he said.

All those songs were inspired really by either the idea of having children or by the children themselves, so no, it doesn’t seem weird to me,” Lovett said. That’s the main thing I was writing about really. “I mean, that’s really what the album is about.
