The house plants being wilted and dying then became a metaphor for relationships. It&#8217;s clear that if you don&#8217;t give time and care into something you love it will never last.<\/p>\n<p><strong>How was the recording session?<\/strong><br \/>\nWe recorded <em>Green Thumb<\/em> with Fletcher Matthews. We spent a whole week in his apartment fleshing out all the elements of the song and how we wanted it sound.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What were the references, influences or musical inspiration?<\/strong><br \/>\nBeach Bunny, Holly Humberstone, Blossoms, Julia Jacklin, Phoebe Bridgers, Girl In Red.<\/p>\n<p><iframe style=\"border-radius: 12px;\" data-src=\"https:\/\/open.spotify.com\/embed\/track\/7edUSXULDGL0tSaWYHxibI?utm_source=generator\" width=\"100%\" height=\"80\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" class=\"lazyload\" data-load-mode=\"1\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><strong>What did you most enjoyed of the writing, production and recording process?<\/strong><br \/>\nThe most exciting part of the process for me is when you find those bits that you all go &#8216;damn that&#8217;s good&#8217;. We had that feeling so many times during the process; Jack&#8217;s (guitarist) main riff and the chorus melody were both super exciting to hear and just felt so right. There was a lot of room for change and alteration when we went into the studio. We were all just on a mission to create the most catchy chorus and riffs we could.<\/p>\n<p class=\"pull-left\">&#8220;This song is really special and close to home for us and so we hope that it brings a little happiness and joy for people to enjoy. Think about that someone you care for and make sure you&#8217;re putting in the effort.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><strong>What was the biggest obstacle and how was it overcome?<\/strong><br \/>\nThis song in some ways is more pop than any of our previous music and although we wanted to try and put a foot into the world of pop music, we had to lose the assumption we had grown up thinking that pop music is uncool. A lot of the music I listen to is pop music: Beach Bunny, Blossoms, Soccer Mommy, Lana Del Rey, Holly Humberstone! It&#8217;s not a genre that should be disregarded in any way shape or form, at the end of the day its just popular and so diverse in it&#8217;s own right!<\/p>\n<p><strong>If you could have invited anyone else to collaborate, who would it have been and why?<\/strong><br \/>\nPhoebe Bridgers. Phoebe&#8217;s lyrical and melodic genius is inspiring and I would love to be able to learn from watching her writing process.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What is the biggest challenge to present this song live and how has it been solved?<\/strong><br \/>\nThe recording is full and layered and making sure we captured that texture live was a challenge. We just needed to make sure we had the energy right. I also sung quite softly in the recording to get a more intimate sound and I had to re-learn how to sing it live to give it the same raw and intimate feel but with more energy and power.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This song is really special and close to home for us and so we hope that it brings a little happiness and joy for people to enjoy.
