You Will Be Mine (Full Band Version)
There are some songs that hit because you’re inspired by something, and they just flow. “You Will Be Mine" was one of those songs. I wrote it when I was in my 20s and I was looking at a friend of mine’s MySpace page (remember MySpace?) and she had posted some pictures from a modeling photo shoot that she had done. There was one photograph that stopped me in my tracks. There was something about the look that this photographer captured that was one of those “so simple, but says so much" kind of looks. And I couldn’t shake it. Now, a few years prior to this, I had a major crush on this particular friend. Nothing came of it, and eventually, we found our way past the awkwardness of unrequited feelings and became actual friends. But when I saw this picture, I thought to myself “if I still had a thing for her, this shot would have floored me". So I used that thought to write the song. I’ve always loved the way that this song came out, but hearing the way that this full band version came out is a whole new level of excitement.
