3. "Nothing Without Love"
I wanted "AhHa" to knock you off your socks then for you to feel like you're catching a breath before "Nothing Without Love." So it starts out with just piano and voice, and then it beats you over the head. Whether it was going to be a fun. album or not, "AhHa" was going to be the song that put the Some Nights era to bed, and I thought that for an album called Grand Romantic, the song "Nothing Without Love" would be this grand launching board for what feels like the rest of the album. "AhHa" feels the most foreign to me, but I wanted "Nothing Without Love" to feel like this big, grand statement. The few songs that happen after that touch on a similar subject of falling in love, but I really wanted it to be this thing that kicks off Grand Romantic.
我想先让《AhHa》颠覆你们的三观，然后你们就会绷紧神经去听《Nothing Without Love》。这首歌开头的钢琴声和我的嗓音，相信会直抵你们的内心，萦绕脑际挥之不去。无论我的下部作品是我的个人专辑还是Fun.的新专，《AhHa》已经意味着《Some Nights》时代结束了。我将我的下一张专辑命名为《Grand Romantic》，《Nothing Without Love》是新专的首打，你们听完这首歌就能估摸出新专的整体风格了。对于我来说，《AhHa》很有异域风情，但我想让《Nothing Without Love》来渲染宏伟的气氛，呈现我的内心。接下来的歌曲灵感都来自于我和Charlotte Ronson的相恋故事，《Nothing Without Love》作为我们爱情的揭幕曲，实在最合适不过了。

5. "You Light My Fire"
That song is a very specific style. It makes me think of Prince's "Let's Go Crazy" or even Bruce Springsteen's "Dancing in the Dark." There are so many reference points. I figured we needed a song with pace, and so I just randomly came up with that song. I don't know why I sang "You light my fire"; it was kind of funny. Jeff's first thought was "We can't do this! That's the Doors' lyric." I had never really listened to the Doors before, so I was like "Ah, sure we can! People have lit a fire before. I'm sure it's not big deal." I made sure to reference the Doors in the lyrics. I thought it'd be nice to give a little shout out and acknowledge their lyric.
这首歌的风格很特别，我听出了Prince的《Let‘s Go Crazy》和Bruce Springsteen《Dancing in the Dark》的影子。我创作这首歌时参考了很多资料。我认为专辑需要一首欢快的歌，所以我灵机一动，开始构思这首歌。我不知道为什么我能想出“You Light My Fire”这种歌词，但这的确挺好玩的。Jeff第一反应是拒绝的，他觉得这句是The Doors乐队的歌词，我们不能用。但我认为并没有什么不妥，我还真没听过The Doors的歌呢。而且点火（Light a Fire）又不是什么稀奇事，所以我觉得这句歌词并不会有太大的问题。但以防万一，我还是认真研究了the Doors的歌词。这首歌能顺利出炉，在此对The Doors乐队致以致敬和感谢！

7. "Great Big Storm"
Jeff Lynne [of ELO] has always been a massive inspiration for me. [The comparison] makes sense because of the structure and strings and stuff like that. I'll take any comparison to ELO, even it wasn't intentional.
我的创作很大程度上受到Electric Light Orchestra（英国摇滚乐队）的Jeff Lynne的影响。《Great Big Storm》跟他的作品来比较是合理的，因为这首歌的结构、弦乐等因素都跟ELO的作品很像。无论有意还是无意，我都乐意和ELO进行比较。
