“My songs start from three distinct launch points – a concept (something I have been thinking about), a lyric (something that has caught my ear), or a musical hook – a lick. The latter is what launched That Lovin’ Thang. I stumbled on the riff just noodling on my guitar and boom! It’s infectious – aggressive, yet melodic. It’s the glue that holds all the pieces of that song together. Most of my songs start from one of the other launch points, so when a cool riff hits me, I take it out for a ride.” - TC
