Hedley Talks Songwriting


wake up night tossing turning now my
bloodshot eyes are burning their diverse
pop punk style is punctuated by clever
lyrics hi I’m Rebecca Brayton and
welcome to watchmojo.com and today we’re
speaking with Headley yeah what you busy
too bad I don’t think there is any
accurate portrayal of any specific
influences of ours its support for us to
not set up too many borders and
boundaries when we’re writing and that’s
what this record is it’s a really cool
picture of all the different things that
we like to come up with recording this
record in like four different parts we
use a couple of producers so a couple
friends at home and then we did part of
the New Jersey and part of it down in
the LA so I think that really lent us
getting to experiment with each of these
songs as individual songs the song
remains the same but it’s just about how
you kind of color in between the lines
touched on this a bit about the new
album why don’t you tell us kind of what
you were going for
we took shape as we were going there
wasn’t any goal here’s you know we
nobody knew what it was going to look
like her sound like and the outset of
the writing process that’s really the
thing when you’re creating like a body
work like that and also just like
writing to get stuff out try to find the
best songs and also you know fine you
know like the cohesion in your topics
kind of come together after one so I
think we’re all excited for the song
called sweater song on the record he
said forever girl I know you ate the
weather girls so maybe you should hold
on my sweater girl it was actually the
only song on the record we’ve ever
performed live and it was the way it
actually took shape was very much based
on how people reacted to it live the
sweater song is that in a Mazda Weezer
no take me sure story I won’t let
anybody copyright a word for song title
is how do you think you guys have grown
individually and as a band over the
years music is improved in every way the
sounds of the recordings is improved the
writing has improved the content of
those of the songs is improved and as
people we’ve improved how we treat one
another how we perform together it’s
more cohesive just any any relationship
you have that’s important to you that
you nurture for 4 5 10 years hopefully
gets better and so far it’s just a
steady incline of getting better at all
it takes it takes work to coexist and I
think the more of us kind of have have
it down to a science of it you know we
all understand each other fairly well
and we know that we’re going to be doing
something with luckiest list we should
be having fun doing it and that’s you
know it’s a priority really because
there’s no point in wasting away an
experience like this arguing you’re
complaining
