Testo Overture - Track Commentary - AJR
Testo della canzone Overture - Track Commentary (AJR), tratta dall'album Living Room (Spotify Track by Track Commentary)
Yodel-lay-hee, yodel-lay, oh
Search the green and
Calling
Now you can't go breaking my heart
Living Room, in some ways, is a concept album
Yeah, I think it's a concept album
In the way that a lot of the albums from the 60s were concept albums
Like, Pet Sounds and Abbey Road
They're not necessarily a lyrical story but more metaphorically a concept
Where you feel ups and downs and each song kind of points in the same direction
I think the direction we were trying to point to is
Living Room is "How diverse and how weird can we make these songs all in our living room
Written, produced, recorded, and mixed all by us?"
Yeah, we actually started out street performing in the parks in New York City
And the money we made street performing we bought an SM-58
Which is like a super cheap, live vocal mic
And we recorded the album entirely on that
And I think it cost like 90 dollars
I think that definitely added to the rawness of the album
That we didn't want everything to sound perfect and perfectly tuned and perfectly on the grid
We just wanted something that felt very living room-ish
Overture is an instrumental version of the different songs that you're gonna play in the future
Like, a show would have songs in the future
It's like the different themes and it puts them together in a really artful way
Exactly, and our goal with this was to make a modern overture
So we took different parts and themes of the songs on the album
And combined them into one
Instead of making the cello play the vocal part, like a Broadway show
We decided to sample it directly
And make what we call a "musical collage" over a beat
And something to take the overture to the next level
We laid a bunch of songs on top of one another
So it is not just a piece of one song then a piece of another
You hear themes interweaving and multiple songs playing at the same time
Since we put it out, it's kinda funny
We've heard fans say it's like a cool version of a sampler
I think that's kind of an interesting way to put it
But we tried to do something more artful than just 10 seconds of each song
