It was all down to Elton had this vision. It was like at first he was like, okay, he was trying to conceptualize what it would be. He goes, okay, we're going to be like Robert Plant and Alison Krauss. And then he would call me a week later and go, no, no, no, it's the Eurythmics. And then he would call me a week later and go, no, it's Buddy Holly and Patsy Cline.

It was wild going to see Elton in Vegas. I remember coming down that long hallway and I could hear his voice, speaking voice before I saw him. And I had spent so much time as a kid growing up with Live in Melbourne and Tantrums and Tiaras and all of his interviews.

He makes decisions very, very quickly. It's not really even to be thought about. So there's no time to really stew in your kind of artistic, you know, whatever. It happens very quickly. He's a quick, quick songwriter.
