[Spoken: Billie Eilish, FINNEAS]
It was like a—, a very un-perfected song
Like, it was, we kind of
Yeah
It didn't really change much from where it started
We kept cleaning it up too much and then we would do it all over again
We would—, it's true, we would clean it up, and be like, "This is better when it's rock"
Even the actual sound of the beat, one of Billie's cool lo-fi things that we do, is like
Sometimes of "Do you want me to bounce this today?"
She go, "No, it's okay"
And she'll film the computer screen (Oh, yeah), then I would bounce it
And Billie would be like, "It sounds very sterile, it doesn't have a slap"
Yeah, I want it to sound like my phone
So, the beat of that song, I re-amped
So I, like, set up mics in the room
And then played it through the room, and then re-amped
The handheld, like we were talking about, had this, like, delay on it
And when I was recording, at one point, I put the mic down, and it was picking up
Yeah, it was feedback
There was—, there was a lot of feedback, and I was like
[?], and I just hit record and let it bounce back
Stood next to the speaker and started
Just feedback
And so, that's why the beat's like—
Just holding the mic next to the speaker (Yeah)
The production, where it started, you know, we kinda had fun with it, and
We came up with all weird stuff
And then, I remember, kind of over time, I was like
"Is this, like, too
Like, silly? Like, is this not serious enough?" (Yeah)
Like, you know, I kind of felt like it was, this is weird to say, but it was almost like
"Billie Eilish-y"
Right, Billie Eilish type beat
Billie Eilish type beat, is this a little like that?
Maybe
But I was like, it's kinda [?] though, the way we did that works
