The Story of Success by Malcolm Gladwell. が好きなんだって!他の人達より多くを成し遂げる人達の秘密はなんだという研究。レイチェル・カーソンの沈黙の春も愛読書にあげてる。やり残した、これから人間がやらなきゃいけない事が多くて落ち込むと。なんかメアリー、文化人みたい😆😆😆😆😆だってデイリーメールとかじゃなくてtimesだよ?
On “Higher” you do Paul McCartney’s “My Valentine,” a romantic original from his 2012 standards album. Why’d you want to sing it?
I didn’t. My manager said, “You have an email from Sir Paul’s people and it says, ‘We hear you’re making a record. This is a great song and Paul thinks you could kill it.’” I listened to the song and it was very pretty. My concept was to do it like “It Was a Very Good Year” — all the oboes and winds, really dark and rich. So we came up with a cool demo and sent it to Paul’s manager. I said, “Here’s my number. Would you ask Paul if he’d help me finish it?” Two days later, I’m driving on Sunset, the phone rings: “Hi, it’s Paul Mac.”
Paul Mac?
That’s what he said. I said, “Hey, it’s Mike Bubes.” That was the only thing I could think of to say. I told him, “Listen, man, I think this song is good, but I need it to be great. Would you come and produce it for me?” And we met in New York maybe three weeks later.
What did he bring to the song?
Oh, a ton of stuff. He tightened up the charts, had me change the melody in the very last verse. Little things like that. We did a bunch of takes and finished the session and I said, “Thank you so much,” and he was like, “What, are you kicking me out? Am I allowed to hang? Can I call my wife and she can come listen?”
