Bad Apple’s lead single “Might Just Think Again” (out now) may have a laid-back sonic delivery, but the song was actually born out of frustration. He shares, “I was driving to a gig at the Metamora Opry Barn and I got really frustrated. So I just pulled over to get a beverage. I said ‘man, I sure do like my soda from a fountain.’ Next thing I knew, I had a chorus and a verse written before I got to the gig. It’s a fun, lighthearted song, and that’s exactly what I wanted to release first before we started introducing the soul of the album.”
The album takes a deeper shift with “Kitchen Table.” What started as a songwriting exercise about a family gathering around the kitchen table, quickly turned into a co-write with Eric Richard Stone who brought a personal and tearful element to the lyric. “I sent Eric the song with a lyric sheet. In my head, I could really hear him singing the hell out of this one,” says Bronson. “Eric didn’t listen until after they had learned of the loss of a family member in a grocery store shooting in Boulder, CO. He said the song moved him to tears. He penned a third verse about the empty chair and sent it back to me.”
From the witty humor of “Drunk Shopping” and “Hole In My Pocket” (co-written with Jackson Emmer) to the deeply heartfelt “Kitchen Table,” there is a bit of all the elements that make up the human condition across the 10 song’s Tay Bronson delivers on Bad Apple.
