I Never Wanna Live Without You (Commentary)

[Interlude]
Chucky Thompson, man, all I could say about Chucky Thompson is he had the music bed that made me expose myself completely. I mean, everything this man brought to the — or everything he did or produced, I just felt like I can completely come out of my skin and sing. I could just come out of everything and just — because I wasn't big on trusting people, but for some reason, with Chucky's music, I would just let it all rip. And, man, "Never Wanna Live" was so heavy because, again, on this album, I'm begging someone to stay with me — never wanna live without you. I mean, I meant that, I never wanna live without you. And the music, the color, the blue, it's a lot of blue on this album. And it's just, this, it just hurts my — it just, it just grabs my stomach. Um, man, "Never Want To Live Without You" — need I say more?
