More From Charles Duhigg

That's what is so great about being able to record a 13-song album. you can do a very eclectic group of songs. you do have some almost pop songs in there, but you do have your traditional country, story songs. you have your ballads, your happy songs, your sad songs, your love songs, and your feisty songs.

You both passed out,” percy said. “i don’t know why, but ella told me not to worry about it. she said you were…sharing?” “sharing,” ella agreed. she crouched in the stern, preening her wing feathers with her teeth, which didn’t look like a very effective form of personal hygiene. she spit out some red fluff. “sharing is good. no more blackouts. biggest american blackout, august 14, 2003. hazel shared. no more blackouts.” percy scratched his head. “yeah…we’ve been having conversations like that all night. i still don’t know what she’s talking about.

It is pleasure that lurks in the practice of every one of your virtues. man performs actions because they are good for him, and when they are good for other people as well they are thought virtuous: if he finds pleasure in helping others he is benevolent; if he finds pleasure in working for society he is public-spirited; but it is for your private pleasure that you give twopence to a beggar as much as it is for my private pleasure that i drink another whiskey and soda. i, less of a humbug than you, neither applaud myself for my pleasure nor demand your admiration.

And what does the rain say at night in a small town, what does the rain have to say? who walks beneath dripping melancholy branches listening to the rain? who is there in the rain’s million-needled blurring splash, listening to the grave music of the rain at night, september rain, september rain, so dark and soft? who is there listening to steady level roaring rain all around, brooding and listening and waiting, in the rain-washed, rain-twinkled dark of night?

Just because i write some songs about bad women, though, that doesn't mean i hate women. i've written songs that show great love and respect for women too. songs that talk about strong, upstanding women and their pain. i have women working on my music. they understand where i'm coming from. so does my mama. i always play my music for her before it comes out. why do you think i wrote "dear mama"? i wrote it for my mama because i love her and i felt i owed her something deep.

My best songs were written very quickly. just about as much time as it takes to write it down is about as long as it takes to write it...in writing songs i've learned as much from cezanne as i have from woody guthrie...it's not me, it's the songs. i'm just the postman, i deliver the songs...i consider myself a poet first and a musician second. i live like a poet and i'll die like a poet.

And they beat. the women for having known them and no more, no more; the children for having been them but never again. they killed a boss so often and so completely they had to bring him back to life to pulp him one more time. tasting hot mealcake among pine trees, they beat it away. singing love songs to mr. death, they smashed his head. more than the rest, they killed the flirt whom folks called life for leading them on.
