'Music was also a key component of the writing process. “When Hunter liked something, he’d play it over and over. I loved it too, especially when we were hooked on the same song,” says Anita. “We must’ve listened to Gordon Lightfoot’s Sundown 25 times a night. Same with Dolly Parton’s Silver Dagger. And Dylan’s Hard Rain—I think we had to buy a second Hard Rain CD because we wore out the first one.”'
