This is the most nostalgic song I've ever written. Landline is about a time when connection required effort — when you had to be somewhere specific to be reached, when the choice to call someone meant something because you had to mean it. I'm not saying that time was better. I'm saying there was something in the weight of it that we lost when everything became instant. The song is really about presence. About what it meant when someone showed up, called, waited. That level of intention."
