Then do some emails, then jump into bed, and do it all again the next day.Īny words of wisdom or advice for aspiring or newly professional songwriters, regarding both the craft and business?Ĭreate your own luck, by working your butt off. Then go play a show at one of the writers’ nights around town. I’ll probably scoot to a nearby studio to record a song in the middle of the afternoon, then make some calls and see who is up for writing in the afternoon, and then write. Then start writing with whomever I am booked with that day. Talk to my song plugger, Amy Hendon-Scott, for a bit. I get up, shower, get on my scooter and ride five minutes into my publisher’s office, HoriPro. Walk us through a typical day in the life of Phil Barton. The record is so strong, that I am honored the song was selected as a single.

He then recorded the full band master of it that day.Ĭurb Records loved the recording, and Lee Brice fought hard for it too be a single. I woke up the next morning totally unaware of any of this and had an MP3 of Lee singing it in my inbox. Lee immediately fell in love with it, and recorded a guitar vocal of the song that night. Jon Stone, one of the writers on the song, took it to Lee Brice’s house while he was grilling out, straight after we wrote it. It is real amazing the reactions from people that really love this song.Īny stories about the song’s path to Brice and its selection as a single? Its a song that is real and everyone connects with. It’s what every guy wants to say, and what every girl wants to hear. How would you describe “A Woman Like You” as a music fan? I like that no one settles on average lines and we push each other to excellence. I like that we are all from different worlds and we seem to able to compliment each other, and use each others strengths to get the best result. I have only written the one song with Jon Stone and Johnny Bulford, and it truly was a special day. What do you like most about writing with Stone and Bulford? There is nothing like hearing a great singer, sing your melodies, it is my favorite thing in the world. I enjoy hanging out with great people and friends and making up stuff that I’m real proud off, songs are little windows to your life. What do you enjoy most about writing songs?

And I joked around and said yoga, thinking it was a joke, and johnny loved it. I remember us being stuck on that for awhile, trying to rhyme with nova, something Jon wanted to put in the song. One of lines that seems to get the biggest reaction is the “yoga” line. It is Lee’s first take on the vocal and took him something like 7 minutes. Thank goodness we did a good job on it on day one.

The song was recorded the actual night that we wrote it by Lee Brice on his home pro tools rig, and then the final recording was put down a day later, so we really did not have much time to make any edits on it. How much did you edit it, during or afterward? Were there any phrases or words you can remember that were especially tough to make a final decision on? Jon kind of mumbled the line, “what would you do if you had never met me.” I think we all related to the idea and each wrote it thinking of our own situations. The inspiration really came from Jon Stone’s girlfriend asking him constant questions like “what would you do if I died,” and so on.

We worked hard and solidly on the song, spending 10 plus hours on it, making sure the lyric was super tight. I probably drank 15 to 20 hot chocolates in the day from the Warner Starbucks coffee machine they have. Phil Barton: We wrote “Woman Like You” in one of the writers’ rooms at Warner Chappell in Nashville in July 2011. When and where did you write “A Woman Like You?” Anything in particular about the vibe or your frame of mind while writing it?
