Ok…hear me out…
I’m always talking about “perfect album sides.”
Side A of “Light It Up” from @redwantingblue is a perfect album side.
Sure, my Red Wanting Blue bias might be showing. Go listen yourself and tell me I’m wrong. I’ll be right here to argue my case.
Scott: I’ve grown to love feeling a little scared on stage. We’ve performed enough over the years that we don’t get nervous anymore. So when you have a new song that’s not 100% in your bones, it’s thrilling when there’s a chance we may hit the guardrails or go off the road.
Dean: I'm constantly going back to the idea of: How do I play the drum kit like a classical percussionist would? How do I incorporate different sounds to add more texture?
Scott: There's a music change that happens. I remember when Mark wrote it. We were all together, working things out in the room. And it was like, “Oh my God! There we go!” And it was at the moment the song truly began to take its shape.
