Savannah Dean Reeves wrote her latest single nearly a year ago. While sitting on her bed and replaying and reflecting on memories in her head, Savannah began to wonder if she was the only person who did this. From a “thought within a thought,” Savannah started writing How About You. In her quest for closure, Savannah created a song that reflects the reality that there is no right way to move on from someone; each person must discover their own path. For Savannah, that journey led her to write lyrics. How About You was produced by Matt McQueen and Curtis Leiser from Gem City Studio. I asked Savannah if she ever experienced any anxiety about revealing her personal stories in her lyrics. She replied, “When you date a songwriter, it's gonna happen.” Her words highlighted the unique connection between her experiences and the creative process, illustrating how love and vulnerability intertwine in the art of songwriting.
As the song progresses, the perspective shifts from "what do you do" to "what I do," and in this transition, you can feel the change in emotion. The lyrics guide you through the thoughts and questions that often arise after a break-up, ultimately leading to the hope that the feelings of missing the person are mutual.
I'm not gonna tell you that I miss you
It don’t work that way
I’ve been sitting here thinking about
All the reasons to stay
Maybe you’re just good at lying
Oh and trust me I’m trying
To not hide behind the pain
Of why we walked away
Oh why’d we walk away
How about you
Did you ever feel the same
Or do you drive around at three a.m.
Cursin’ my name
How about you
Do you ever think back
Or when you get a memory of us
Do you chase it with a bottle of jack
How about you
I wanna know about you …”
Savannah Dean Reeves mentioned that while she is collaborating with other artists, the album she is currently working on features songs that she has written entirely on her own. She set a goal to write a complete solo album, and it is nearly finished. Savannah is in the process of finalizing one song and considering adding another before she thinks the album is complete. However, she is allowing herself the flexibility to change her mind if an idea arises that fits well with the rest of the album.
Savannah Dean Reeves spends her time between her home in Kentucky and Nashville. She has been writing songs since middle school and playing the guitar since she was 11. Savannah has written songs for various books, some of which were set to be included in movie soundtracks..
Thank you, Savannah, for opening up and explaining how How About You came to life. It was a pleasure to talk to you about your career and music releases, In A Country Minute.
