| Comments: |
When Bryan was recording his vocal for "One Good Reason" at the Power Station in New York, producer Bob Clearmountain thought it would sound interesting to place Bryan in the concrete stairwell at the back of the studio. Bryan couldn't see Bob, and Bob couldn't see Bryan ... they could only communicate via Bryan's microphone and headphones. Bryan was mid-vocal when he noticed a large garbage dumpster nearby. God only knows what inspired him, but he lifted the lid and let it drop. The sound was so loud over the the control room speakers, and so unexpected, that Bob Clearmountain literally jumped out of his chair. The dumpster lid can be heard halfway through the song (at 1 minute 52 seconds). |

| Lyrics: | I've got one hand on your door And one hand in my pocket The world is on my shoulders And I'm trying to get to you Getting pretty worried Now that Ronnie's in the office I shouldn't let it get to me There's nothing I can do I think that you should know by now You've done the damage now it can't be changed So give me one good reason One good reason to stay Well I knew that you were sleepin' And I didn't want to wake you Cause this troubled look I got Might make you change your mind There's no need for conversation There's no reason to forsake you I was looking for the answers But there's nothing here to find I think that you should know by now You've done the damage now it can't be changed So give me one good reason One good reason to stay Just give me one good reason One good reason to stay |
