Letra de I Know Places (Voice Memo)
So over the years, a lot of people have asked me To sort of describe my songwriting 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?" Um, and, you know my answer is always that it happens differently every time And that's why I'm still so in love with songwritingSo what I've done here is shown you three different examples of, um The beginning stages of these songs, and how they each started, uh, different ways So, um, I'll explain them to you, and maybe that will help you understand kind of How I put songs togetherI sent this voice memo to Ryan Tedder because I'd always wanted to work with him And finally we, 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, um, 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 inAnd, um, we ended up recording the song the next day And it ended up being on the record called, uh, "I Know Places" So this was the voice memo I sent to him The night before we ended up finishing the songOkay so this is kind of this rough idea thingUh-uh-uh-oh Oh-oh-oh-I Oh-oh-oh-oh Oh-oh-oh-IOh-oh-oh-oh Oh-oh-oh-I-I-I Na na na na, waitin' at the back door They're around, and the vultures come around And you know that they, what they want usSay 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 Ever 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 chasin' their tails trying to track us down Cause I, I know places we can hide I know places, I know placesUh-uh-uh-uh Uh-uh-uh-I Uh-uh-uh-I Uh-uh-uh-I Know placesOr whatever, I don't know, but that's basically Just like a dark, really dark, like, um, lyric, like bridge thing and it's about like, uh Everybody's like, trying to get into, and like, ruin a love or whatever and it's like, you just Whatever, you know Um, and then the chorus would just go to that major and just like, be like ohh, chorus Um, so I hope you like it It wouldn't be a piano thing, it would be like Nnn, ss, nn nnn, ss, nn Like very, like, beat Now I'm just making weird sounds Hope you like it
