The sinking night is the opening track on the record
and it is actually a fragment, a greater work.
There was probably like 45 minutes is this really epic track
so when we started kicking around the idea of having burials open with
an intro I started talking to Jade about like you know what about the certain
parts of
have that song. I thought it was a good heavy
dark movie way to insure the record. It is in fact one of two songs that I
believe Jade I wrote
in the dark and start playing that wrath and the lose now they came to me in
I started singing and it became what went on to be a more layered version of
itself.
Sounds really fallen heavy its good way to start the record some
not too long in the fall but I really gets you in the mood of burials
I'll be suffered is 1 songs that we spent a lot of time
building we would obsess on the course and trying to fine tune it and get it
me a perfectly there yes it's an interesting song it's got these are some
programming rhythmic element such as it is in kinda
symphonic drum programming for the verses just a real sort of orchestral
quality to it
my job was to try to find something that I could play that was hookin repetitive
and not
complicated I'm that's sad and with
all these other percussive elements my task was trying to
craft a sound that will fit in with the other looks and sounds
still have a base quality to it but not sound just like electric bass
I'm happy that it was the first lesson that the fan Scott up the record because
it is
a a really good look into into a burial service
deep slow panic a as one of my favorite songs on the record
I think it's a really good I'm example Dave doing what he
does best that's kinda moving in fits as vocal in the course kicks out a lot of
you know layers and it's very for sounding so and the dynamic Amazon's
pickle
I had thought for a while that might be entitled record that it's a panic that
that that suffocating feel that the record has a huge change the tone of his
guitar to
to create that that echoing sound that tone built
and you know set the mood for the entire song no resurrection
began with Jade it was a it was a track that he had an entire body at music
written for and I began coming up with top lines and lyrics for it
it's 10 the more the more haunting songs that
live with and the the fragility of up the record
the chorus goes into this kinda repetitive thing which is very unlike us
not resolved and it is nice
become a glorious part so on that's a common you sound for us anything in new
arrangement the base
on the entire that song is like know based on I ever will be used like I'm so
used to dialing in a good sound that it was hard to find
a way to make a stripper ni zhe Liang
sound but I listen to it everyday just the intro
70 crimes the first single off for burials
I'm glad that it is from we had written it my immediate thought was
that better be the first single you wrote the song I 15 minutes it was one
of the fastest moment of creation
Jade and i sat down and heap he played the
versa and I wrote the lyrics right then and there and we demory doubt we're
playing the song as if we had
already knew how to play it just kinda came very naturally it's one of my
favorite songs on the record there's not a lot of pop
on-the-record and it's one of the popular songs as the suddenly sort of a
pop sounding song but it really is as far as the creation others the roster
want they don't always happen like that sometimes the dance
very its more for feeling that way the conductor
is a tragic song and one
have I feel the most cinematic moments
in the record chain came with all the music
written when he we sat down any played it for me
I mean just music alone is so impactful you know when you listen to the final
product you can hear those things if you listen had plans can probably hear all
the little
like little local things a little samples and loops in layers and stuff
and want to be
like a mood piece rather than having typical you know corporations
heart stops shows the greatest
progress for us I feel it is dissimilar to anything we've done in the past
and there was a coldness to the music
I was very deliberate an taking
as as much emotion out %uh the
the you know brutally heavy lyric
as I could kinda wanted to have a a really sort of
fuzzy over driven sound for the course
so I called my friend
Mac who was in Weezer an awsome
what would you do use on picked the hope was that was going to go it's simple
it's this obscure pedal that you can
at all a bar or something oh it's like now it's like
this and they only made 10 min I gave it to somebody in
as an instructor it's definitely the I think this on the record that is
they re not like the rest record like anything we've done
I'm very happy with it because I feel it's it's something very new for us and
we're very interested to see what people think of it
one is one of the songs that when people are they they had an immediate reaction
to it
the record is clearly very very candid and very straight forward to something
new for me
and I can definitely be seen in rewind and
pain very happy with that it that flowed
very quickly and as her subconscious way as I've said is a lot of the record
does has a lot of things going on but an came together really well me and there's
a lotta guitar layers and that one
my jumper is really unrelenting remember you
questioning the relentlessness the spire and I'm kurds
yeah yeah because I just want to simplify it would be easier we played
quite a few
the embrace is the loss on burials as I'm sure
Jabel mention I was going back to some old stuff and I found the song
that was I don't remember writing it I remember working on it but we have a
sedan there's a vocal I and all this programming I dance I took in the AM I
do remember this and he's like nine this all out when we do this
he said we wrote it like you know six months ago
so we we brought it to the pan and i ended up being on the record I think
that's very well
certainly other in the senate sentiment as cohesive addresses the record and
I'm I'm glad it was found wild is a fun song is one other
earlier songs that was written for the record I really enjoy that size as very
different from anything that we've done before and it's very driving I took it
and today then we just kinda did like a *** vocal on at like very monotone
very can I was like
kind of like an early eighties kinda thing to a I was trying to simplify the
drums
arm and they wouldn't let me its not the easiest song to play but
the song is so chaotic by nature I'm
at that really required a a lot of attention is paid to
to very you know distinct like driven sounding terms nice
one thing that I think I I like about just this whole arm
we really were comfortable just letting the song be what it is
and whatever it takes to to achieve the sounds that's what we did
greater than 84 is another song Jade had
the the whole body music written for x1 write something that had a great
her can a great melody greater than 84 to me
is kinda wanted a more straightforward tracks on the album
but I like it sounds good I can't imagine doing
trying to do you know may be weird let's just
to it how it feels good it's one of the hang
to poppy songs on the record and I like to have a world of pop
and my world for me within the context other press and misery
thanks this is an interesting song I i really like what jay is doing on that
song is a lot of Qatar work
we brought that one kind of the curve to you and i cant to start playing this
kinda angular
riff and the verse and you know the research thing in this come on a town
vocally hours I was trying to capture something that would be
a little less expected and so I went with with that call their
and more haunting vocal I really like that song and if I fought for that want
to be on the record because
something about it justice strikes me
sex right chord with me when I read it still like I can appreciated objectively
the way that I approached it was stressing that I know what you do
and just knowing that will I have a natural ability to
do something that works with what you do and just go with that without
you know charting it like figuring out exactly what to play here and there but
I'm
always work so I just kept doing that until we recorded
and now hopeless or remember I
the best in either way is really embodies apart a who we are as a band
that has never been represented as well before
there's a very haunting feel
to the song I feel that we managed to capture that well still
having arm a more traditional chorus that
lifts a song with out actually
leaving that home it was definitely one of my favorite songs
I like this song a lot particularly the middle a section what I don't plan on a
late
I don't wanna play next don't wanna *** it up yeah
this story has a vibrant doesn't need base and so would like very happily
don't play on a middle-aged
the younger version me like back after something I
you know but it's now just I know when to step back
