Talking about collaborating with Maren in a press release, JP shares, “My first thought about this song is that it’s surreal I get to be sharing it with one of my favorite artists ever. Regarding what it’s about — as songwriters — we spend a lot of our lives trying to bottle up a feeling into a song, and often, the biggest feelings, the best ones, the complicated, detailed, messy, incredible ones, just aren’t going to fit. ‘Line by Line’ is our recognition of that… of how one song just isn’t enough to capture it all, but how we’re just going to keep writing, futilely and lovingly, anyway.”

Echoing JP, Maren says, “I have always loved being contemplative of the artist vs. muse relationship in songs. ‘Line by Line’ acts as a promise that I’ll never be done writing about my muse in this life because he can’t be summed up in one song.  Writing that day with JP was the most fluid, inspiring session. He’s a lyrical faucet. He threw out the line ‘immortalizing my sincerity’ and it blew my mind.  I think all in all, we wrote the whole song in an hour and immediately recorded it.”

As JP explains, “Four chords, three minutes, you’d never fit in it, so I just take you line by line….. what happens when songwriters write songs about loving other songwriters.”
