We didn’t want to edit to be quote-unquote perfect. With this album, we just left a lot of the rawness of them playing. Luke has that smooth tone, Calum has a really unique voice, and Ashton’s just an amazing singer. They all have unique voices: Michael has the edgiest, punk voice. They’re all amazing singers, that’s known. Ashton is the most creative drummer that I know. Especially with this album, each guy has such a distinct personality. Writers Zakk Cervini and Matt Pauling also said: Ashton is one of the three best drummers I’ve ever recorded. That song for me just solidified what this band is, for me, as excellent musicians. When you listen to the song, it’s completely unedited. He put his hair in a ponytail, ripped his shirt off and I was like, “Fuck my neighbors are going to hate me but alright.” He was so inspired! It was on a little shitty kit, not the Zeppelin kit. I think he had just met his girlfriend…he was super worked-up. I don’t know what kind of song it is–it’s in 6/8, but it’s not emo, and it’s not an Irish drinking song.Īshton played the entire song in one take. It’s a really hard song to sing, and it took forever for him to find his place. Because Calum already had “Invisible” on lock, Michael wanted his. I sent 5SOS this song without thinking it was a 5SOS song. That’s my connection to the world that I live in. Those are the things that connect us-not the moon or the stars or the sun, it’s the airplanes, the cars. That’s the thing that connects us all: Looking up. The electrician, the plumber, whatever, we all see that airplane. When I’m having a restful moment and I see that airplane, all of us can see it. To me, it was about being an artist living in the city. We hadn’t written a song in 6/8… I remember one time an A&R guy came to my house and I played him a song in 6/8 and he said, “What, do you want to waltz?” I realized that made an Irish drinking song–6/8 doesn’t work in pop music.
CAST AWAY 5SOS LYRICS MOVIE
I love Glen Hansard, and that movie Once is one of my favorite movies ever. They could very well be professionals one day.In a 2015 interview with Fuse producer John Feldmann said: If you ever see Luke and Calum play ping-pong it’s very, very intense. Matt: They wrote that song amongst many ping-pong tournaments. Luke and Calum came over and they were just like, “Let’s rock the fuck out and make a fucking rock song.” It gets very serious and heavy in this half of the record. Zakk: Its purpose is to break up the record a bit. It’s a Foo Fighters, driving, guitar-driven rock tune. If you even wonder where Luke comes from as a musician, just listen to the bridge in “Fly Away” and that is him. What the fuck does that even mean? You’re in the middle of the ocean on a boat? Where does that connect with this goddamn song? He forced it through and in hindsight, I’m glad he did. Luke came up with the lyrics “open ocean,” and I fought him with that. We ended up writing a song about a perfect day: It just rained so it felt like London, we were in California so we were talking about the ocean. We had this Third Eye Blind, pop-punk chorus that really worked. He changed the key of the chorus and it clicked. Calum had come in and he already had the lyrics and the melody. It had just rained in Los Angeles–it only rains ten days a year, so it was such a special day.
“Fly Away” was another song that was just me and the guys. In a 2015 interview with Fuse producer John Feldmann said:
