SUSIE’S FAVORITE SONG has nothing to do with me. I didn’t write it, and I’ve never sung it. It’s A9. That’s its number on her jukebox, a gift from the boys and me for her fiftieth birthday. The jukebox came loaded with a ton of great records, which she’s added to with favorite records from her childhood. A9 is the Staple Singers song “I’ll Take You There.” In our house, when we hear that familiar riff blasting from our living room, we know it’s Susie’s way of saying it’s time to dance. It makes her happy in ways I’ll never be able to make her happy with my music. I’m fine with that.

The way I feel about Susie, the way she’s loved me and changed me, it can’t be in my songs. It’s too big for songs. Maybe, occasionally, I can get a part of it to fit. Sometimes it gets deep in the track where I can feel it but it’s never put into words. If you’ve ever been in a relationship that you took for granted, even when it was the one thing holding you together, and you somehow didn’t lose it despite acting like an idiot, then you know how difficult it is to convey that amount of gratitude, much less set it to music. I wouldn’t know where to begin.
