[00:00.10] | So over the years, a lot of people have asked me to sort of describe my song writing process from beginning to end. |
[00:07.15] | How long does it take, where do you write, what are the circumstances, do you start with music, do you start with lyrics, |
[00:12.65] | and my answer is always that it happens differently every time, |
[00:17.49] | and that's why I'm still so in love with song writing. |
[00:19.46] | So what I've done here is shown you three different examples of the beginning stages of these songs and how they each started, different ways. |
[00:29.91] | So I'll explain them to you and maybe that will help you understand kind of how I put songs together |
[00:37.23] | I sent this voice memo to Ryan Tedder because I'd always wanted to work with him, |
[00:41.37] | and finally we scheduled some studio time. |
[00:44.34] | So I always wanna be prepared. |
[00:47.73] | I wanted to send him the idea that I was working on before we went into the studio |
[00:51.21] | just in case he wrote back and said "I can't stand that, I wanna work on something else, think of something else". |
[00:56.20] | So I just sat down with the piano, put my phone on top of the piano |
[01:00.88] | and just kind of explained to him where I wanted to go with the song, |
[01:05.38] | how I saw the melody sitting in |
[01:07.51]] | and we ended up recording the song the next day and it ended up being on the record called "I Know Places". |
[01:14.26] | So this was the voice memo I sent to him the night before we ended up finishing the song |
[01:20.18] | "Okay so this is kind of this rough idea thing: “ |
[01:31.69] | Uh-uh-uh-oh, oh-oh-oh-i |
[01:34.74] | Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-i |
[01:37.62] | Oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-i-i-i |
[01:43.63] | Na na na na waiting at the back door |
[01:47.19] | They're around and the vultures come around |
[01:50.22] | And you know that they, they won't us |
[01:52.69] | Say what they want 'bout, say what they want 'bout us |
[01:56.46] | And you come and sing, and |
[01:59.56] | I would not think about it but I'm not done |
[02:01.88] | Every know that a thing or two about it, thing or two about it, I |
[02:07.48] | Cause they got the cages, they got the boxes |
[02:13.39] | And guns |
[02:14.17] | They are the hunters we are the foxes |
[02:19.04] | And we run |
[02:20.54] | Baby, I know places we won't be found |
[02:25.98] | And they'll be chasing their tails trying to track us down |
[02:31.77] | Cause I, I know places we can hide |
[02:41.47] | I know places, I know places |
[02:53.60] | Uh-uh-uh-i, uh-uh-uh-i, oh-oh-i, uh-uh-uh-i, no places |
[03:00.69] | Or whatever I don't know, but that's basically just like a dark, really dark, |
[03:04.76] | lyric like bridge thing and it's about like |
[03:08.90] | everyone is trying to get into and ruin a love or whatever and it's like you just, |
[03:16.42] | whatever, you know, and the would just go to that major and just be like ooh . |
[03:21.41] | So I hope you like it, it wouldn't be a piano thing |
[03:26.05] | It would be like Ohhh~, very like beat |
