Americana husband-and-wife duo Swearingen and Kelli just released their brand new album "The Marry-ing Kind" this past Friday and to celebrate we asked them to tell us about the song "Satellite Friends". Here are the stories:
Jayne Kelli - I wrote this song on an airplane while heading to Philly. I just got a tablet and penned the whole thing on the device with the melody in my head. I always find that I think the clearest on an airplane. It must be because of less distraction and more time to myself... but writing a song on one was a first for me. This song is about finding out who your real friends are. There was a time where I had people in my camp that I called friend, that weren't really for me. I started to see who our real friends were vs. the people who don't like you, but want to hang around and drain you for their own purposes.
AJ Swearingen - I think this is my favorite song that Jayne has written to date. The production needed to be just right. I liked the song stark, with just piano and vocal until the second verse... where the production starts to sneak in and keeps building until the end of the song. This song is also the last cut on the album....we thought it was the perfect ending for this body of work.
Hearing is believing. Now that you know the story behind the song, listen for yourself and learn more about the album right here!
