Tori On 'America'
It is a letter and we were trying to figure out the soundscape for it in order to infer that there's a Native American energy with the other America as well as a futuristic other America And how she's ancient and yet she's all of us So, creating that character and a space for her to tell her story and sing her song through her letter was our big challenge finding that soundscape And we were playing with the piano acting like a banjo So, that was what we were going for -banjo piano because the acoustics were doing their job as the acoustics and we didn't want the Bosendorfer to come across Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com as a classical-sounding instrument so we spent a lot of time working on the parts back and forth, the conversation between guitars, piano in mid-range There are a couple of vocals that are supporting the lead vocal and we were working on, I'd say the bridge first, so we approached that and all its vocals before we went back after the haunting vocals Sometimes, for me anyway, I'd like to know where the song is taking us where it needs to end up and the bridge is an explosion obviously inspired by all The Beatles' records I've listened to all my life as well as for Mark and Marcel they were listening to those through their life and it all came together, I guess, in the bridge So, therefore, once we knew what that bridge was, then we could do some backtracking
