Billie EIlish and FINNEAS on THE DINER

[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
