After reading the « track by track » interview with David and people wanting a song to be about G, I think writing songs are still a form for him to heal about his family, even though it’s been a while. I remember reading an interview about him having a family and what meant for him and another one where he said that learning guitar saved him from going down on a dark place. I think his songs are about events from the past that still present. G is a present event, in a way. He’s very sensitive. ❤

Totally agree, and I think most of the songs of this album were written at the time of his divorce, just like on his previous album. The one about his dad and the one he didn’t write must have been written more recently though.

I saw a terrible review of his album stating it would make Tim Daly uncomfortable and I’ve read people being annoyed that this is again about Tea, but I believe one can’t live for so long with someone, have two kids, go through difficult times and finally to a divorce without being hurt forever. It doesn’t mean he hasn’t moved on, it just means that it marked him for life, just like it may have marked Tea and their kids. That’s not something you can put behind you and forget, so if writing songs about it makes him feel better, who are we to judge him for that? I guess he has written a lot of them at this period, and we may not have heard all of them yet, so maybe we’ll have to wait his fourth or fifth album to get songs about Gillian 🙂
