about

slightly different version/versión ligeramente diferente


esp: la última canción que se compuso antes de entrar al estudio. Recuerdo que un día afiné mi acústica en drop D y comencé a jugar con acordes bastante Deftones. Comencé a desarrollar el riff principal de las estrofas y aunque era un poco difícil tocarlo con fluidez, me parecía divertido. Me gustaba la idea de que todo sonara en una sola guitarra pero a Shere le costaba hacerlo completo, y creo que resultó bien porque se lograron cosas interesantes combinando los sonidos de ambas guitarras. En los ensayos iba mostrando la canción por partes porque era un poco diferente a las otras canciones de estructuras sencillas que habíamos hecho previamente. Recuerdo que Shere no estaba muy convencida al principio, y hasta sentía que la canción sonaba mucho a The Futureheads. Grabarla nos tomó más de 20 tomas, a diferencia de las anteriores que tomaron máximo 4 tomas. Las letras que compuso Shere quedaron perfectas, un poco de eso que sentimos todos en algún momento por relaciones pasadas. Dato divertido: un amigo me dijo que le había gustado la canción pero le pareció muy Save Ferris jaja.

eng: the last song we made before recording the album. I remember I drop D’d my acoustic guitar and started to fool around pretty Deftones-ish chords. I started developing the main riff for the verses and even though it was hard to play it fluently, it was very fun. I liked the idea of playing the verses just on one guitar but Shere had a hard time playing it so it became interesting to mix both guitar sounds. During our band practices, I showed the song parts to the girls since it was different from the previous song structures we’ve done in the past. I remember Shere wasn’t convinced with this new song, and she even felt it sounded too much like The Futureheads. It took us over 20 takes to record it, unlike the other ones that took 4 takes tops. The lyrics Shere wrote were just perfect, a little bit of that feeling all of us have experienced with previous relationships. Fun fact: a friend of ours told me he liked the song but he thought it was too Save Ferris-ish haha.

lyrics

You asked for it, we are done
Is this my turn to hurt you?
Ego is fighting for its own
Playing games with my thoughts

I'm over it
I am not
I'm over it
I am not
Flowers growing on new floor
Still your seed is dried inside me

'Cause went to deep to bring it out

I want you here
I hate you
I want your face
To break it

Still the wounds are bleeding strong
Some things will never go away

I hate you, I really do
I hate you, I HATE YOU

And I really, really want you to die

Different like the sea and the sky
But still we kiss in reflection...
