If This Was A Movie: April 2009 ( Inferring) So needless to say, it was good to be back in the studio with my redheaded producer who I missed terribly.” I’m pretty obsessed with the whole process. Daydream about different ways to put the songs together, and then take them apart. I like dragging it out, that way you can be meticulous about every detail.
