  • Anatomy of a Song by Jeffrey Steele Meanwhile Back at Mama’S
    Anatomy of a Song By Jeffrey Steele Meanwhile Back At Mama’s Meanwhile Back At Mama’s is such a sweet story, kind of as sweet as the song ended up being. A buddy of mine, Jaren Johnston, that was one of the co-writers of the song, had hooked me up that day with him and Tom Douglas. Tom and I and Jaren got together. The first song that we wrote was a song called Raise ‘Em Up for Keith Urban and Eric Church. It was the first thing we wrote and I remember walking away, shaking my head, going “wow I can’t believe I’ve never written with Tom Douglas before. That was such an amazing experience.” I felt like we really connected and of course Jaren and I have been writing for a while. There is a magic there that you always try to find writing songs. So when we got back together the second time, and this was only the second time, we were talking about the previous song we had written. We were kind of noodling around and playing it on the guitar for each other. Then Jaren went off into a similar kind of riff and Tom had the title “Meanwhile Back at Home.” We kind of sat around noodling around then all of a sudden it morphed into Meanwhile Back at Mama’s. Then this whole story fell out about just where the world is today, how crazy things have gotten, and how cool it would be to just kind of check out for a while to go back to a better time.
