I mean, anybody that talked to me, I would go, ‘I can make that a song.’ I don't know if that's good or bad I got quite manic, but it worked. “I got to where I could not turn it off,” he says. Soon, Church was writing songs in his sleep and letting the inspiration take him and his collaborators where the music flowed. I wanted to make sure I walked in with a stud of a song and I would work harder.” And it also put pressure on me: I'm not going to walk in there with anything that I'm not proud of. “We’d finish them by two or three o'clock in the afternoon, and then we'd go in the studio and we'd record them.
“Every night, I would stay up most of the night writing songs,” he says. Though they’re three separate albums, Church views the 24 total tracks as a cohesive body of work, all written and recorded in the same place. This is my favorite project for that reason, because I've never really put it all out there like we've done on this one.”
And let's commit everything we have to that moment, to that song, and let it be. “Let's write the song that day,” he says, thinking back to their first conversations about Heart & Soul. We have to mess this up.'” It was then that he and his producer, Jay Joyce, decided to follow that instinct. If it's not broke-' And I stopped him, I said, 'You break it. “I remember having a conversation with my bass player, and I said, ‘Listen, I'm going to bring in some different players on this album,’” he recalls. But there's so much time that the magic just starts to die away.” That isn't what happened with Heart & Soul, a trio of new albums Church wrote and recorded with his band and team of co-writers over the course of a single month at a shuttered-for-the-season restaurant in North Carolina's Blue Ridge Mountains. And six months later, we figure out if we're going to go into a studio and cut that song.
“And what normally happens, at least in Nashville, is a song is born, and we write the song, and we go home and we make a demo. “I've always believed that the moment a song is born is the most important moment of that song's life,” Eric Church tells Apple Music.
