It was the last song that I finished, I finished it while we were in the studio. I had gotten a request from a website that will remain nameless, to write a Valentines’ songs. At first I said that is the dumbest thing I’ve ever heard and I didn’t do it in time. Then for some reason I got the idea in my head and was playing around with it and it slowly, I got the idea for “Faded Valentine.” I thought it was too simple at first, then I thought to myself what would Lucinda Williams do with this? Then I tried my best to make her impression of the song.
