Paul Sanchez: Between Friends … And Me (PSM)

Aug 29, 2023

When Paul Sanchez wrote a song, nearly 20 years ago, for Darius Rucker to sing, the Hootie frontman was not happy with its tone or title: “Nothing Here.” Rucker didn’t like the negativity, Sanchez notes now. Rucker changed the title and a few of the lyrics, and abracadabra… “Something Here.” Positively.

It’s all the difference in the world, of course. But what a world he was in at the time. Sanchez had lost his home in the flood, was vagabonding from city to city, couch to couch.
