There’s got to be a guitar. Probably a notebook. And an idea would be nice. Those are all the must-haves when you sit down to write a hit song.
Then, there are the text messages.
It sounds like that’s how Keith Urban did things for his 2014 “Somewhere In My Car,” that he co-wrote with J.T Harding.
Throughout the process, Urban was supportive of Harding’s ideas, using texts and emails to stay in touch.
“He would text me a lot and say, ‘This is a great idea. Let’s keep working on it.’ So we would send each other emails. He invited me to the studio, and the entire track was done,” Harding said.
