(antiMusic) Earlier this month Pierre de Reeder took a step outside his role as the bass player for Rilo Kiley to release his debut solo album, "The Way That It Was." The result is an effort that should satisfy his existing fans as well as open the door to new ones. To celebrate the release we asked Pierre to pick his favorite tracks from the CD and tell us about them. Here is Pierre with today's song:

Young & Old - I remember the melody for this song first rattling in my head when walking the street of Athens, GA. It was just that at first, a melody, along with the first line of the song. I didn't really develop it for a while, but was glad that I'd noted the melody on the little voice record of my cell phone.

And strangely enough, I added parts here and there kinda doing the same thing... thinking of lines or parts and jotting them down on my phone. I remember a good part of it I put down the caverness sounding bathroom at The Orange Peel in Asheville. Needless to say, we were on tour at the time. But what finally came of this song reflects a lot my own thirty-something kind of experience.
