[Spoken Word]
Okay, "Let it Happen"
I had had the verse melody for let it happen for like, I don't know how many years
Uh, six years maybe, and it never left my brain
It was always so important to me, this melody
But the lyrics that I had originally written for it were properly depressing
And something about it just never sat right with me
Anyway, Aaron was playing this guitar bit at Long Pond one day
And Audrey and I were sitting on the couch
Bella was in the room, shout out Bella, uh, she is the greatest engineer and I just adore hеr
Anyway, we were all sitting in thе room and Aaron started playing this song
And I was like, "Oh my God, like this melody, this melody"
But then I got really frustrated because they couldn't think of alternative lyrics for a while
Audrey being the kind of, um, mastermind, brilliant
You know, one of a kind person that she is
Was like, "We're not gonna give up on this, especially if it means that much to you, this melody"
So we really pushed through and we were stuck sitting in the other room trying
Trying and trying, nothing would come, I was like
"We need to do, like, we need to laps around the studio outside"
So we ended up sprinting for like ten minutes and eventually cracked it
And that got us through the hook and then the rest of the song just came kind of like that
Um, I love this song, it's one of my favourite bridges
It's some of my favourite production as well
Like, the vocal layering is really epic, in my opinion
