^{It was hard for me to find somewhere quiet to work so I would drive into town slowly, which would give me the opportunity to think and get ideas. I would write in my head during the ride. One day, I thought of the first two lines of this song: What the world needs now is love, sweet love.} It's the only thing that there's just too little of.
