The songs that just happened started happening more frequently, more fluently; they happened better. So much better that they turned into Rich's debut. "The sessions we did at John's house were good," Rich says. "I went back and sang some vocals again but we kept all the other stuff." Earnest adolescent emotion conveyed w
