HAIM on Go Slow

Alana: Go Slow- Host: is another oldie. Alana: Um, yeah Go Slow was the last song on the Forever EP and with that song, um we had just the track for like a year before we put any melody on it. We just had the guitar line, the "do do do do do do do do." And um, we always liked adding things to it. We had this like, full demo and just, it didn't have a melody on it and we wrote a full song over it. And kinda sounded like it didn't really seem right and it was like done. Everything, there was like a verse, chorus, everything. And then, finally we were just like "We need to just rewrite it." And we never really did that. It's really hard to have a full song and kind of be set in your ways and to realize like okay, it's not right. You have to rewrite the whole thing cuz you just keep playing the same melody in your head so it's kind of hard to get away from it. We finally just sat down and like erased everything and started over and went with like a more simpler melody- Este: Yeah. Alana: We were just like "It needs to have space" because the guitar line needs to have room. And then Go Slow kinda came about and that's what happened. Host: Is it also the original recordings from the EP just remixed? Danielle and Alana: Yeah. Danielle: That was one of the ones that we tried to kind of mess with- Alana: Rerecord. Danielle: And rerecord. Again, the magic kind of disappeared once we did that so we just kind of went with the old track.
