“Even When” reflects upon losses: People and situations that you thought you couldn’t live without. As time passes maybe you realize you were wrong and other times maybe you weren’t. Some people really aren’t worth missing but no matter how many times you tell yourself that, it still stings when they go.

When we started writing “Even When,” we weren’t in this place of anguish over lost loves but more of a spiteful spot taking the approach of “I don’t need anybody” but also “don’t you miss me?” The lyrics came rather quickly but the dynamics were born later, in the studio. In the breakdown, Willie asked our steel player to pick the steel like a banjo and it wound up being one of our favorite little album secrets.
