Lyrics
I think, it's just, you know, we've recorded, you know, the better half of the last three records And so, it's, you know, it's a great studio for one The room that we're in right now Is actually the room where we recorded most of the material of the last three records When we've been at Electric Lady, the staff is awesome They've always had great engineers, the managers are like a friend of ours And always tries to get us in here and makes things easy for us And so, I feel like New York City is very easy to wanna go work, to go in the studio But then there can always be so, you know, so many distractions about you It's, it's truly a treasure We can go to a place and leave the city at the door and just get down to it And have the comfort just to acclimate very quickly and fall into the music And this room in particular is a great sounding room And I, you know, I feel like at the four-frag when we came here To record that, we were talking about having a really nice, sizable room for drum purposes Then also, we had eight different amps that we had just sectioned off So we'd kind of bleed each, all those amps together or blend, I should say, all those amps together To kind of make a unique sound for each song, whatever was needed per song On this record, we actually only really recorded all of the drums And I think like 95% of the bass, right, Paul? Pretty much all the bass Everything else was recorded at Novor Studio in Red Hope Brooklyn, but (Atomic sound studios) Sammy, you really enjoyed obviously laying it down here Oh, yeah Well, when we were doing Our Love to Admire, we started at another spot in Soho And then I got a phone call from Rich Coste, who co-produced the record and said Do you want to come and retract some of the drums at Electric Lady? And I was like, why would I want to do that? And so I got to come in and kind of overdub these drum parts Over guitar parts that were already tracked, you know, for posterity And from that point on, it was just, you know, I fell in love with it And just, you know, things that were done in this room over the year That black piano that black piano that black grand piano used to be a white grand piano Where Topperhead and wrote Rock the Casbah And tracked it and played bass (And I think it was Hendrix's piano if I remember correctly too) I believe so, yeah and just like little things like that, that really You know, do mean something you feel like a kid like it, it's better than it's like adult Disney There's also like a little am I wrong, they're not like a little stream? Like literally right here and they can lift it up like one of the wood panels And you can kind of see it I'm pretty sure there is, I don't know if anyone Yep you see that we got the thumbs up confirmation I feel like I've seen it was it would have been like on our left admirers So like that's like 20 years ago for me But like I felt like that was like I heard the tale and I feel like they showed it to me
