Catherine Feeny chats to I Like Music

CATHERINE FEENY

ILM: Your new single, 'Touch Back Down is out new (released on June 11th 2007). Can you tell us how the song came about and describe its whole vibe?

CATHERINE: Sure. That song, I'd been away for song writing for a long time. I started writing songs when I was quite young, probably 12 or 13, and then I went to university and got distracted by school and boyfriends. So I hadn't written a song for quite a while and I moved to Los Angeles and started feeling like I was really missing song writing. And also, I happened to be in an acting class that was really creative and exciting. And I think it was that creative energy and the weird dating scene in LA (I was seeing a fellow at the time and he seemed impossible… it was "I really like you but," and I couldn't get him on the phone, so he clearly didn't really like me that much, but at the time it was like, 'what's the problem here, you like me, but what?')

So a combination of all of those things coming together meant I just wrote the song and started playing it at shows and playing it with my band in LA. And then I made my first album, and it didn't seem appropriate for that album, but when I started playing songs for Sebastian (Rogers) and we started talking about what should go on the album a sure bet that we should definitely put that one on there. Most of the instrumentation came from him: the big strings and the kind of pedal steel; he wanted this big romantic swooping sound and I think it comes together quite well. I was used to playing it with a band, where it was a guitar, bass and drums, so it took me a little while to understand what he was going for but I really like the lush romanticness of it now.
