    Q: You chose to include “God I’m Missing You,” which originally appeared on Kin, on the new album. Why’d you pick that one?

    A: Because Lucinda stole it from me! I’m making a joke. When we got Lucinda [to contribute] on the original Kin, I was all suited up and ready to record “God I’m Missing You” and she came in and that’s the one she wanted to do. And she being there by my invitation, it wasn’t like I was going to say, “Hey, you can’t do that one, I’m going to do it.” So I stepped down, and rightfully so because her version was stunning. I had a vision of the song that I thought was uniquely my own, you know, true to my sensibility. I think that they can both exist – Lucinda’s smeared lipstick version of the song, and my mournful version of it.
