But those first songs weren't written with an audience in mind, except in the most general sense. They really were personal, like diary entries or poems that you write for yourself.

I guess Something in the Way She Moves is probably the first song that I... I had written Knocking Around the Zoo and a song called Sunshine, Sunshine before Something in the Way She Moves.

You know, it just wasn't very carefully considered ahead of time. All of those cover tunes that I would do were things that would be thought of at the spur of the moment in the recording studio after we had already recorded two songs that day.
