NOW Posted December 18, 2023 Share Posted December 18, 2023 Quote It’s pretty rare that something is impossible to write or arrange. It’s more like, I can get very obsessive on making the sound be what I hear in my head. I feel like the process is like either you capture this crazy lightning in a bottle and then you spend your time protecting it, or you have this crazy idea of what you want something to be. Did you ever hear that Lorde song “Hard Feelings”? The end of that, production-wise, I was so obsessed with wanting it to be these crazy Transformers fighting sounds, but also really warm. I went really crazy on that. Melodrama was a really intense process. We were just tearing stuff apart. We’d do one thing one day, zero it out, try a whole other thing. The end of “August,” the strings and twangy guitar — that was one where it was really in my head, production-wise, for a long time. The end has to be so euphoric. She’s talking about, like, “Meet me behind the mall” and “Back when we were living for the hope of it all.” I kept attaching to all of her lyrics and being like, This crescendo at the end has to feel like all of that, on fire.

Jack! Posted December 18, 2023 Share Posted December 18, 2023 On these sorts of tracks it really does go to show how good of a producer Jack can be. Emphasising on that “can be”. The majority of Melodrama and sprinkles of his work with Taylor (namely Reputation and Folklore) do show some of his great skills. But truthfully his production on many of the Midnights songs and the Taylor re-records have often felt a bit lifeless. You win some and you lose some.
