===Band Commentary=== | |||
'''HAUNT YOU EVERY DAY''' | |||
'''Rivers:''' Rick said, write a song like Billy Joel or Elton John, so… | |||
'''Brian:''' But no pressure! | |||
[laughter] | |||
'''Rivers:''' So, I didn’t really accomplish that at all, but I did write a song on the piano. So that’s about as close as I could come. | |||
'''Brian:''' I think it’s a beautiful chord progression. It’s deceptively simple too. It sounds a little more complex than it is, and it’s great fun to play live - I wish we would’ve tracked it more, and played it - approached it more how we do now. But I think it came across pretty well. But I think - any regrets, I wish we could re-record that song how we do it right now. | |||
'''Scott:''' It’s another one of those songs where the less bass notes I play on it, the better it works. I remember switching back and forth from trying to do it on piano, or Rivers playing it on guitar, and then going back and back and back, and it turned out to be just right. | |||
