Transcription
Composition
Wainwright has said about the writers who contributed to the album: "Because these writers know me and because I was able to personalize these songs by changing things here and there, I made them feel as if I wrote them myself. Somehow they wonderfully reflect my life and I am so thankful to the other artists for writing them."[8]
