Cover art for Reason Why lyrics by Rachael Yamagata

Rachael Yamagata did an interview for Woman Rock and had this to say about this song:

"Every now and then you’re on stage and your mind wanders and you can think of it from their eyes or you find a different meaning, like “Reason Why.” I wrote it kind of about this group dynamic, a business relationship really. Everyone thinks it’s a love song, so every now and then I’ll play it and dedicate it to somebody."
