My husband is a Disney nut. When he was young, his family would take him to Disney World, and his architect father would show him many of the details around the parks. When we got married, we took our honeymoon to - you guessed it - Disney World. I have, consequently, become a bit of a Disney nut myself.
On one of our trips, we hopped on Splash Mountain, and our bloat floated across a pretend wooden sign with a pretend wooden carving of the words,
“You can’t run from trouble, ain’t no place that far.”
I said “YAS honey! That’s my next song!” or something along those lines.
When we got back home, Bradley and I wrote Trouble together. Well, we kind of fought-wrote it. We were recently married, we were learning some uh, communication lessons. But, I’d say it was quite worth it. This is one of my songs with which I’m the most proud.
Trouble is a also a special song to me, because it symbolized a transition in my life.
I wanted to write this song strictly about how trouble chases us down in life and how we have to face it. For awhile, that’s all I had been doing. Facin’ troubles. Then, I came to more realizations in my life that led to a bit more hope, which made me feel compelled to put a more hopeful spin on this song at the end. I hope you like it!
