{{Red liner notes|{{#tag:span style="color:#990000"|''Rivers:}}Was there a particular thing you were feeling when you came up with that music for Cold Dark World? Or was it just one of those random things?''<br>{{#tag:span style="color:#990000"|''Scott:}} No, it's just basically kind of frustrated and down. You know what I mean. So it's more of a vent kind of thing. It's funny because I wrote the music it was a little bit of a dark kind of thing. The other guys helped out with the parts which are really great and then I gave it to Rivers. And he had gotten some lyrics ready beforehand.''<br>{{#tag:span style="color:#990000"|''Rivers:}} Yeah, my lyrics weren't dark or creepy originally. It was a song about love and devotion in the style of Bow Wow "Let Me Hold You." But when we mashed it up with Scott's really dark music the lyrics took on a really sinister overtone.'' {{#tag:span style="color:#990000"|''Scott:}} It was a song that started with a bass stuff that I like to play by myself. we set out to co-write a song and give it to rivers so I wrote some music at my house, brought it to these guys I didn't really think it was gonna go anywhere but they really latched onto it and made it make sense and make great music with it. I gave it to River's and he got really excited about it and he wrote the lyrics to it.''<br>{{#tag:span style="color:#990000"|''Rivers:}} I had some really happy lovey type of lyrics and I just mashed them into his really dark music and it became something very sinister and cool and weird.'' {{#tag:span style="color:#990000"|''Scott:}} Which I'm very happy about.'' {{#tag:span style="color:#990000"|''Rivers:}} So that's a lot of the way we work together in the studio is that we come from these extreme different places and we come together and it turns into something else it's probably something cooler.'' {{#tag:span style="color:#990000"|''Scott:}} Better than the individual effort. That such 4 different people that like 4 kinds of music...look different everything about them but it makes a sound that is recognizable and great.''}} | |||
