"It Only Gets Much Worse" was another song written in the shower. I've always been a fan of referencing past song titles in current ones (i.e. Why Am I The One) and I found IOGMW particularly amusing. I first started the demo as a fun song and went into the studio w Andrew to lay down some piano and vocals. He wrote some phenomenal Nilssonesque bridge chords that I wrote the bridge melody to. At the time, I never really wrote any lyrics other than the chorus- I just had a melodic mumbling in place on the demo, and as we started building it in the Grand Ro sessions, I realized that I really wanted someone else's help and opinion in finishing up the words. In the meantime Roger Manning Jr. did a phenomenal job on the strings. The song was completely done but I still hadn't written lyrics. I wanted this one to be particularly good. My friend Sloane Crosley was in LA the same time I was there recording- and we met up for a drink one night. She was leaving the next day, but I begged her to stay an extra night and finish the lyrics with me. I've never written lyrics with anyone other than P!nk on JGMAR, and that was "her" song- so I was a little more willing to take a back seat. I think there was a part of me that felt really challenged by Sloane being a published author that compelled me to really work hard on finishing it with her. We had a wonderful and strenuous time. But in the end they're some of my favorite lyrics I've ever written. Fortunately there was a beautiful song to sing them to once they were done.

Nate Ruess I love your songs! But the one that's more stuck in my mind is We are young, Some nights, Nothing without love, Give me a reason & this one, It only gets much worse!" Your a great singer! I think you did more fabulous on the Give me a reason. Great voice too!
