Jelly Roll

It was in my songwriting, I'm going to say 2015, 16-ish, I realized that I was trying to tell special stories. And that God had put me in a situation. He was screaming at me to tell a story of a group of people that had never had their story told. But I was just going out of my way to try to come up with a special story.

And then when I started being like, you know what? No, I'm just going to write about my neighbor who's struggling with drug addiction. I'm just going to write a song about my baby mother because I'm infuriated that she left our daughter high and dry like this because of drugs. You know what I mean? Like, I just started writing from that perspective. Yeah.

And then I realized that it was connecting with people because it was the every man story. You know what I mean? I almost called this album Cinderella Man. Right. And I'll tell you why I didn't. But I thought I watched the movie and I was like, I had a moment in that movie where when he's walking, you've seen the movie, right? Y'all all seen the movie.

He's walking in a, for those who haven't, it's about an old boxer who in the depression, it kind of was on a losing streak, kind of long in the tooth. James Pratt. James Pratt. They would call him a journeyman is what we call him now. Just did look like you're never going to work out for him. Working, couldn't get a job on a loading dock almost. Family split and bred.

One of the greatest movies ever. Russell Crowe, right? Yep. And he comes out, and towards the end, he ends up fighting this championship fight, and it's a crazy movie to watch. But when he's running, he goes by the old doc, and they're all cheering for him. And I relate to this because this happened to me, and he didn't understand it. So he looks at his manager. You remember this scene?

This is the scene that I related to the most. He looks at his manager and goes, why are they cheering for me? He goes, because you're them. I was like, I'm the fucking Cinderella man. That's why this worked for me at 40. You know what I mean? Yeah.

But I ended up calling it Beautifully Broken because as I started really writing, because that was my idea going into the project, I'm going to write the Cinderella man story. And all I could think about was other people. Every time I'd pick up a pen, I would think about this young lady at a show who told me that Save Me helped her because she was raped by her uncle.
