L: Yeah and, I mean, talk about working with a total legend – she’s written some of the best songs ever! That was a huge honor. We again have a lot of friends of friends and kinda knew each other, but were connected through our teams to do a write. And we ended up writing over FaceTime, because it was during COVID, and it was right before Thanksgiving, and everyone was getting COVID. So November 2020 I was in Nashville, but we ended up just writing via FaceTime. With that song, Natalie, since she’s just an incredible crafter of songs, really had brought a title and a shape with her to the session, so I was able to sort of fill in the blanks alongside her via FaceTime to make the story work for me. To tell a side of my story which is, ultimately, you can’t make people love you, you have to love yourself, and you have to find the people that will.

The album’s other singles Sad and Night Moves show two other sides to its story. Sad seethes with an undercurrent of anger, matched with a certain resignation. It’s a bluesy number, and comes complete with echoing guitars that invoke the openness of the Lissie’s native American Midwest. Night Moves by contrast is upbeat, perhaps the poppiest moment of the album, with a wandering bassline and a steady groove.When I'm Alone" has been chosen by iTunes UK as their SONG OF THE YEAR!!". iTunes. 21 December 2010 .

Similar to the approach of her previous records, Lissie closes out Carving Canyons with an optimistic song—the reflective “Midnight.” “I think by ending with “Midnight,” it's very open-ended,” she explains. “It's finding me in a place of peace and confidence and optimism, but there's still some moodiness there, and there's still a lot of unknown. It feels empowering. It's about being vulnerable and being open and surrendering.” In early 2010, she toured various venues in the United Kingdom supporting Ohio-born singer-songwriter Joshua Radin. L: Yeah, and I never want to throw any of my male co-writers under the bus, because we all have our strengths, and you can’t generalize. But I do think that, for as much as I felt like a lot of these songs are about me, and they’re very specific, and they’re about MY life – some of the women I wrote with, they had an equally emotional life experience, that they were really their own perspective to the song, too. And that ended up becoming extra-healing, because sometimes when you go through hard stuff, you feel like, ‘Oh, I’m so alone in this. No one’s ever felt this sad.’ Well, the thing is, everyone’s gone through something, and it’s so universal. Once the song comes out the other side, it belongs to the listener, Writing with people, it was also healing to be like, ‘Oh, yeah, YOU felt this way. YOU felt betrayed. You felt lost. You felt whatever these feelings are.’ It was helpful to remember that this is just a part of life – we all go through it. We’ve all been through it. Pais, Matt (9 November 2009).

L: Yeah, I think that happened very loosely and naturally, which I loved. I didn’t have to make a big to-do, I was just in Nashville, and my producer [Curt Schneider] had come from LA to get some vocals. I always feel like I sing better in Nashville, because in LA it’s dry, so my voice is always a little pinched. But then I come to Nashville, and it was all humid – the humidity is good for my vocal cords – so I was just singin’ my butt off and was able to just call up Kate and Sarah and Bre Kennedy and Madi and Natalie and be like, ‘Hey, what are you doing over the next two days – can you pop into the studio. No pressure.’ And everybody just rolled through and it was awesome! I really gave them freedom to ‘sing what you feel – I have a few ideas, but I’d just love for you to take it away.’ It adds such a dimension and a texture. I’m just so glad that that was able to work out, because it just adds more life and more perspective. It’s a group effort. Lissie Chart History: Adult Alternative Songs - February 14, 2018".
