Im just in a phase where I would personally rather have less around me, but deeper.
Does that makes sense?
It does, especially after the past few years of her life and career.
I dont think I can even really say 100% what my own music is.
Oh, let me look!
Musgraves says, pulling out her phone and opening her Notes app.
I keep a running list of all the songs Ive finished, she explains.
Oh my gosh, theres currently 114 on here… She wrote 114 songs for the record?
Yeah, I dont know.
Sometimes it takes a while to get there.
Its just where Im at in my life, she shrugs.
Its messy, being a human.
But its also fucking beautiful.
The ultimate wealth is already in you, you know what I mean?
Its not an outside thing.
Still, its hard not to feel like the album is very much rooted in a sense of place.
you might literally just do that!
It doesnt even matter.
At the memory of writing it, Musgraves smiles.
Its really crazy to listen back to something that you literally poured your heart into, she says.
Thats at her kitchen table, in the woods.
