AOL Music’s The Boot recently interviewed Alison Krauss about her new album Paper Airplane.  Here’s an excerpt from the interview:

AOL: Your brother, Viktor, wrote ‘Lie Awake’ for the album. That’s a gorgeous song.

ALISON: He wrote that with a beautiful songwriter named Angel Snow. I was driving from Indianapolis back to Nashville, and this song came on the radio. It was a pop song and I loved the way the melody of the verse and the chorus stayed where it was, it didn’t go someplace else. The thing that made the chorus the chorus was the harmony. I thought, “Oh, man, I wish we had something like that.” I called my brother and asked him if he knew that song. He said, “Oh, yeah, I know that song. I sing it to my wife.” I said, “Can you try and write something like that.” He said, “Yeah, I think I can.” Vik isn’t a lyricist, so he wrote a track for it, and Angel and he got together and she wrote the lyrics. They’re such beautiful, truthful lyrics.

The Tennessean’s review of Alison Krauss’ new album Paper Airplane includes praise for Lie Awake, a song co-written by Angel and Viktor Krauss!

But as she and her band, Union Station, worked to complete their first studio album since 2004, Krauss was finding nowhere musical to live. They began recording in September 2009, and by early 2010, they’d crept to a creative standstill. Krauss felt something along the lines of the chorus to “Lie Awake,” one of the handful of songs she and Union Station had completed:

“How do I lie awake now, when I know I’ve got to be moving on?” goes the song — penned by her brother Viktor Krauss and singer-songwriter Angel Snow — which appears on the finally completed, newly released Paper Airplane. “How do I lie awake now, when nothing’s right and nothing’s wrong?”
