Loved this snippet on the creative process and intent:
"We're kind of profound editors," Welch says, laughing. She estimates that two "Harrow" songs - "The Way It Goes" and "The Way the Whole Thing Ends" - were four times longer as written than as recorded. "We like that almost nonlinear folk where you get the feeling there are other verses that explain things but they aren't there. That's one of the things we like about 'The Basement Tapes,' that old folk-song feeling where you don't know all the facts. You know a girl gets killed in the first verse, but you don't know why."
