Song that reminds you most of your sister, Ann Ann came up with those words to “Dog & Butterfly,” and it really represents her curiosity with all things spiritual — in the Yoda sort of way. She’s always had this propensity, I guess, to look for the wise old man or the wisdom of the elderly man. A humanitarian spiritual guide in your life. I think that’s exactly who Ann was and still is.
Most underrated song There’s a couple of those, but one that I really loved and wished got more attention was “Language of Love.” It came from an album, Passionworks, that I felt was badly produced overall [by Keith Olsen]. But that song had a wonderful, poetic structure to it. It was put on the B-list of Heart songs in the end. Funny enough, I ended up putting a better version of “Language of Love” on our Beautiful Broken album.
Acoustic-guitar moment that makes you feel most powerful The intro to “Crazy on You,” which I named “Silver Wheels.” The big riff that comes in and the kick combined — it’s hard to beat that moment. It’s such an intricate intro followed by the release of the beginning of the song. It sets you off on a charging stead and it’s always a big moment. Having been a club and cabaret band for so long, we played a lot of Yes songs with acoustic intros that were crafted by Steve Howe.
