Q: You wrote a lot of your songs before recording them. Are there some you didnt do that for and wrote while recording? I'm crazy/it's raining?
A: i was experimenting with in-studio writing during the first half of 2011. i ultimately decided that i can do better work when i finalize the writing before the recording takes place. this does not mean finalize all of the instrumental parts, it just means the melody, lyric, chords, and especially the road map need to be set in stone before the recording starts. crazy/raining was written before the recording. but that doesn't mean all the little percussion fills and instrumental things were pre-written, just the melody, lyric, chords, and road map
