I wrote it with Lulu (yep, that \u201cTo Sir with Love\u201d Lulu) and her brother Billy Lawrie. I was signed as a writer to Windswept Pacific Music in those days, and although I lived in Nashville, I was really signed out of their London office. We wrote a few songs together, this being one of our favorites but with no real plan for it at the time.<\/p>\n<p><strong><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignleft size-medium wp-image-15538\" src=\"https:\/\/mmusicmag.com\/m\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/album-Wynonna-300x296.jpg\" alt=\"album-Wynonna\" width=\"300\" height=\"296\" srcset=\"https:\/\/mmusicmag.com\/m\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/album-Wynonna-300x296.jpg 300w, https:\/\/mmusicmag.com\/m\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/album-Wynonna.jpg 379w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/>How did Wynonna Judd get the song?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The beautiful part of the story is that Wynonna had taken time away from music, had a baby and was re-entering the music world with an album everyone knew would be huge. I had co-written another song that was on hold for what turned out to be her <em>Revelations<\/em> album. My wife and I had just moved our family to Nashville, and honestly we were counting on this to launch a new chapter in our lives. At the 11th hour, I was told our song didn\u2019t make the cut. Devastated is not nearly a strong enough word for how I felt at the time. Soon after the bad news I got a call from one of my best buddies, John Cooper, who ran sound for Wy. John is one amazing guy and has been Springsteen\u2019s front of the house mixer for years now. So he called to say \u201csorry about your song not making the final cut, but cool about the other one.\u201d <em>The other one?!?<\/em><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>So, not the song on hold?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Wy had cut \u201cMy Angel is Here\u201d and not told anyone. No hold, no connection to the publishers, just heard it somewhere and it resonated with a time in her life\u2014and she cut it. Oh, and here\u2019s the interesting part. Wy puts it out as a single, and the other side is \u201cChange the World.\u201d Yes, the song that later became a hit for Eric Clapton. Even I thought that B-side should have been the single\u2014and I told Wy after I heard that beautiful song. Her album debuted at #2 on every chart, my song was the third single off the platinum album, and that\u2019s my happy ending!<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>What is your creative process for writing songs?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>I love working from a title or a concept, but I also honor the idea of just \u2018showing up.\u2019<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>What songwriting tip would you like to offer?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>To slow your process down sometimes, and look for a really good idea: something relatable\u2014 something that stands a chance of resonating with someone else.

Growing up with the music of the 60\u2019s on the radio was something that made it easy to relate to a ton of different styles.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>How did where you were geographically (living in New York, Nashville, London or L.A.) influence your music?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Well, I grew up in New York state, and it was funny that things were cool or not cool! The Rascals, Paul Butterfield, the Beatles, the Rolling Stones and Motown were cool. The Beach Boys, the Association, the Union Gap, Chicago\u2014not cool. Different culture! Over time, I just learned to absorb the vibe, and if it worked for me\u2014it became part of my DNA.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>How has co-writing shaped your music?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>I never co-wrote until I started spending time in Nashville. Thank God one of my first co-writers was Kye Fleming. She\u2019s in the Songwriters Hall Of Fame, and probably the first real lyricist I met. At the time my strength was probably melody and coming up with tracks and grooves. Like every great co-write since, we found the other one did something that we didn\u2019t, and that excited us. Basically it was the whole being better than the sum of its parts. Brenda Russell and Eliot Kennedy are the other ones that made co-writing one amazing idea.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_15551\" style=\"width: 310px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><img aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-15551\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-15551\" src=\"https:\/\/mmusicmag.com\/m\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/Mark-Cawley-05-at-the-Hit-Factory-NYC-300x210.jpg\" alt=\"Mark Cawley at the Hit Factory NYC\" width=\"300\" height=\"210\" srcset=\"https:\/\/mmusicmag.com\/m\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/Mark-Cawley-05-at-the-Hit-Factory-NYC-300x210.jpg 300w, https:\/\/mmusicmag.com\/m\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/Mark-Cawley-05-at-the-Hit-Factory-NYC.jpg 1000w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-15551\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Mark Cawley at the Hit Factory NYC<\/p><\/div>\n<p><strong>Was there someone you always wanted to write with\u2014and finally got a chance to write with them?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Yes, in a way. I love Burt Bacharach, and my buddy Eliot Kennedy had gone to LA and written a couple of tracks with him. No Lyrics. Next time I went to Sheffield, where Eliot lived, he said \u201cfancy writing a lyric to this track I have with Burt Bacharach?\u201d Glad I didn\u2019t think too much, and just said yes! I walked around town with my headphones and this beautiful melody they had done. Wrote a lyric very much in the style of Burt, and he loved it. It\u2019s called \u201cIf You Can Find It in Your Heart.\u201d Story is Luther Vandross loved it and cut it, but we still haven\u2019t heard it.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Is there anyone you\u2019re still hoping to write with one day?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Paul McCartney or Elvis Costello.

Eliot Kennedy had her in studio in the UK, called me and said they don\u2019t have a first single. I tried, got nowhere all day, and finally I went to the grocery to take a break. It was a Kroger, and I had to call my answering machine to record it. A melody popped into my head. It felt familiar\u2014and I was hoping it wasn\u2019t. And the more I sang it, the more I knew I had something that might be a start. I called Eliot, made a very rough version, sent it\u2014they finished the song and cut it that night!
