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 🙂

So David thinks TXF wouldn’t be the same without Scully, but « We’ll see what happens » indicates he’s thinking about doing the show without her (if he gets the chance, which I doubt because: ratings). And if he admits the show won’t be the same without her, why would he want to continue with it?

That’s really not how I took his “we’ll see what happens”. In the context, I took it as “we’ll see what happens, Gillian can still change her mind later.” To me, it was clear that he didn’t 100% believe she’s completely done and there’s still hope she would agree on doing more.

David Duchovny, No Stranger To Character Studies, Puts Them To Music

sunshinetoday:

AllMusic: Like the character in “Last First Time,” is he saying what he’s saying because he’s burned out on the rigmarole of relationships or because he’s just that optimistic about the one he’s about to start?

Duchovny: I think it’s both. That song, to me, was as romantic as a 50-year-old guy could get. I was at a wedding recently, the people were my age, and it was like Disney, they were talking like it was Disney stuff, and that was weird to me. You’ve got to have a different version of romance when you get to a certain age.

EXCLUSIVE: David Duchovny On Gillian Anderson’s ‘X-Files’ Exit: ‘I Can’t Imagine It Without Scully’

iva69s:

“I love the people that I’ve worked with; I love Gillian and Chris and I want them to be doing what they want to do,”

“There’s no way I want Gillian to be doing the show if she doesn’t want to be doing it, and yet, I want people to do work that they’re really good at, so we’ll see what happens.”   

“To me, the unfortunate thing about Gillian saying that she was done is that there’s kind of a mourning sense about the whole season, when in fact, what I’d love is that people really recognise that these are 10 excellent episodes —  like, way better than the six we did a few years ago.”
