Hey everyone!
I just had the most relaxing, peaceful time at my buddy Joe Leathers get away flat in Rosemary Beach, Florida. It is not known by a lot of people, but it is a little piece of paradise that’s for sure. We started writing on the 11th. Almost immediately... between the minds of Lee Brice, Kyle Jacobs, Joe Leathers and myself, we knocked out a few songs the first day. And that’s not to mention the song that all of us wrote on the bus drive down. The second day we were there, we all got up at around 9 a.m. There was a gym up the street, so most of us hit that up for a little workout and then headed back home to write. When we got back, Lee had already been working up a guitar arrangement for another song. We started into that and before we knew it, another song was written, pretty cool huh ?
It totally amazes me to watch songs come together from a thought to a song.. it’s really a beautiful thing and I feel blessed to be able to do it! I really wanted to see more of the little town of Rosemary and the beach, so when we got done writing the song we all hopped on some bikes and rode through the town and went to the beach. The town was pretty bare because it was out of season. From what I’ve heard about France and from what Kyle told me, it’s like a little piece of France with the cobblestone roads and the European architechure of the buildings. I was told they have a rule there that every building or home must be constructed by one of five builders so that they keep a level of sameness within the town. I guess they don’t want some unknown builder to come into the town and change things up, which is understandable.
When we went down to the beach, not only were we pretty much the only ones on the beach, but the sand was so white and the water so clean and clear. It is probably one of the nicest beaches for sure, that I’ve seen!! Between the time we got back to later that evening, we had written a few more songs. We certainly were on a roll. I guess being in such a nice place is inspiring in itself.
It was cool because there was a main house where Lee, Kyle and Joe slept and above the garage was kind of a guest pad and that’s where I stayed. It had it’s own kitchen and living room, a nice big TV and a big comfortable bed. There was also a nice sized swimming pool in the backyard which was heated, so it was pretty close to being like a hot tub. We left on the bus out of Rosemary the morning of the 14th at 4 a.m. and drove through the night. We arrived back to Nashville early that evening on the 14th. So I had the evening to chill and wrap my head around all that we had accomplished in such a short time. It was very impressive to me. Anyways, I hope you’ve all been doing well and I will talk to y’all soon. God Bless!
