I Know Places - Voice Memo

So over the years

A lot of people have asked me to sort of describe my song writing process from beginning to end

How long does it take

Where do you write

What are the circumstances

Do you start with music

Do you start with lyrics

And my answer is always that it happens differently every time

And that's why I'm still so in love with song writing

So what I've done here is shown you

Three different examples of the beginning stages of these songs

And how they each started

Different ways

So I'll explain them to you

And maybe that will help you understand kind of how I put songs together

I sent this voice memo to Ryan Tedder

Because I'd always wanted to work with him

And finally we scheduled some studio time

So I always wanna be prepared

I wanted to send him the idea that I was working on

Before we went into the studio

Just in case he wrote back and said I can't stand that

I wanna work on something else

Think of something else

So I just sat down with the piano

Put my phone on top of the piano

And just kind of explained to him

where I wanted to go with the song

How I saw the melody sitting in

And we ended up recording the song the next day

And it ended up being on the record called I know Places

So this was the voice memo I sent to him the night before we

ended up finishing the song

Okay so this is kind of this rough idea thing

Na na na na waiting at the back door

They're around and the vultures come around

And you know that they won't

They won't us

Say what they want 'bout

Say what they want 'bout us

And you come and sing and listen

I would not think about it but I'm not done

Every know that a thing or two about it

Thing or two about it

I

Cause they got the cages

They got the boxes

And guns

They are the hunters we are the foxes

And we run

Baby

I know some places we won't be found

And they'll be chasing their tails trying to track us down

Cause I

I know places we can hide

I know places

I know places

Uh-uh-uh-I

Uh-uh-uh-I

Oh-oh-I

Uh-uh-uh-I

Know places

Or whatever

I don't know

But that's basically just like a dark

Really dark lyric

Like

Bridge thing and it's about

Like

Everybody's

Trying to get into and ruin a love or whatever

And it's like you just

Whatever

You know

And the chorus would just go to that major and just be like ooh chorus

So I hope you like it

It wouldn't be a piano thing

It would be like like Very Like Beat

Now I'm just making weird sounds

Hope you like it
