Genesis
of "Forget+Forget"
The essential chords, melodies and hook for Forgive+Forget was actually
written at least 4 years ago. On acoustic guitar, and much MUCH slower,
it felt a lot like a country song (the chorus, I mean).
I recorded it on an old Roland VS 1880, and there it sat.
'Til, of course, the day it was time to sell the old 1880 in favor of
new recording equipment. Fast forwarding to just this past year, I
decided to transfer all essential tracks, including any old ideas that I
thought had value, to my new Pro Tools hard drive.
And along came Forgive+Forget. "Oh yea, I remember this one, this
sounds like a country song!" However, I quickly grabbed my acoustic
and sped up the tempo about 90 million beats per minute. (Well, you get
the point.) It now had a completely fresh approach; I had to finish the
lyrics and it just needed a bridge.
I had a separate piece of material ("I'm sorry too, the words we
never used") which I just loved how the melody focused on the 7th of
the chord. I just had to change the key, and provide a segue out. This
became the bridge for the song. Funny thing is, this melody was
handwritten on a scratch piece of paper as I didn't have anything to
quickly sing into at the time. But it still stuck, and kept asking me to
put it in the game.
Put me in, coach...
