"I was half asleep lying there writing this lyric in my head at about 3:30 in the morning. I woke Steve up with this idea and then we went into the living room where there was a little upright piano and finished the song. I wonder where that piano is now?"
- Jim Capaldi
About this Quote
In this quote, Jim Capaldi explains the process of writing a song in the early hours of the early morning. He describes that he was just half awake, but the lyrics were flowing in his mind. He then got up his good friend Steve to share the idea and together they went to the living room where they found a little piano. They worked on the tune until it was total. However, as time has passed, Capaldi wonders where that piano is now. This quote highlights the creative and spontaneous nature of songwriting, as well as the nostalgia and longing for the past that can come with it.
