So you're rolling on molly tonight?

No. And we won't be doing that stuff for awhile.

We did it "too much" and it doesn't really have the desired effect anymore. The rolls are mild and the come downs are horrific.

Off of that stuff for the foreseeable future.

There are other things to do...

No. When I was younger (19), shortly after my dad died, I was listening to the album from the beginning. I was just thinking about the order in which the songs were arraigned, how one fed into the other (and sometimes harkened back to previous songs).

I saw a quote from her on line where the first take was her doing a more traditional vocal with a lot of "Oh yeahs" but the band felt it didn't work, so in her words she decided to use herself as a musical instrument and the resulting vocal was a composite of three separate takes. She also listened to Wright's progression multiple times beforehand in order to get a better feel for how it should work with the piano piece yet still have that unstructured feel at the same time.
