Interviewed by the Rolling Stone it reads:
"It's very rare that you get these calls," says Lindsey, "but when you do it's always a ride."
In any case, it's not the kind of opportunity many songwriters would turn down.
"You say yes because you just want to do it," says Lindsey. "Here in [Nashville] we obviously write country songs but there's a lot of pop writing going on here too. But it's different when you're asked to write with the artist. It's amazing to be in the room with an artist and to get in their head and to get into their world."
"She is a badass songwriter," Lindsey says. "Pretty much everything she said, I'm like, 'That's a title! You've gotta either stop talking or you've gotta let me come live here for a month, because everything you say is a song.' It was just the two of us and it was just a very natural process, a straight-up songwriting process. The only thing different is she writes her lyrics out on an old school typewriter, which I freakin' love."
Their conversations and a few glasses of wine gave rise to a third Lindsey song on Joanne.
"Grigio Girls," which mixes electronic percussion with a strummed acoustic guitar, piano and warm vinyl record crackle, serves as a weary rallying cry for friends helping one another through the tough times, bottle in hand – the album's titular Joanne even makes a brief appearance. "Make it all make sense," Gaga sings, intoning a slight twang at the end of the line.
"I picked up the acoustic and we started playing around with it and we were just laughing and having a good time," says Lindsey. "We didn't think it was a real song but it ended up being a real song. We were just kind of messing around. And she took it to a very personal place."
