about

BECCA:
​I wrote an early version of this tune that I wasn't satisfied with. Then the three of us went on a retreat in Tarrytown (funded by the Jazz Gallery), and the song started to morph into something completely different. I had the girls sing the parts that were moving around in my head as I was writing it. I remember the lyrics coming together when we went on this bike ride in the woods. Talking to them about it helped me realize what the song was really about. Gretchen & Rebecca were integral parts of this song's birth.

REBECCA:
Becca wrote this when we were all on a retreat together in Tarrytown (thanks to the Jazz Gallery!). It was really great to hear her working away on it in her room during the week. Another great lyric here, and just a downright sexy tune.

GRETCHEN:
i remember hearing this song in different stages as becca was writing it, i love singing it. it evokes such intrigue from the very beginning, i love how minimal it is, yet so much depth of harmony and lyric.

lyrics

I ASKED
Becca Stevens

I asked my love
What do you need
To make your wild heart beat?

And this my love
He said to me, wholeheartedly

Whatever makes you happy darling
Whatever makes you smile for me
Whatever makes you happy
That’s all I need

In sober times
When troubles find
A taste for gravity
I ask myself,
“What do you need
To let the weight release?”

Whatever makes you happy darling
Whatever makes you smile for me
Whatever makes you happy
That’s all I need
