![]() And you have way more of a chance of writing something lyrically that really touches someone who’s going through the same thing. I feel that’s when you actually strike chords with people because you’re being true to yourself and you’re going to be relaying things that you’re genuinely feeling. ![]() Not knowing if your career is over or not is always going to trump any of that, so in a way it’s like any kind of pressure is removed, and at this point I’m just worried about writing something authentic and that feels genuinely inspired for people. No, I mean we felt more pressure at different times like not knowing in Common Courtesy (2013) to come out legally, and that was definitely the most intense time in our band’s career when it comes to what it’s doing to your psyche. Given how well received your last album was, Bad Vibrations (2016), did it create any sort of pressure to top that album’s success with this next release? We very much just went in the room and tried to write something that we were excited about and this is what we got. So it’s not unnatural for us to start somewhere and end in a different place. Like for instance the song “My Life For Hire” which is a heavier song, it was an acoustic song of mine for over a year. ![]() A lot of them start off as simple acoustic songs and we turn them into what you know. Because honestly most of our songs from our whole career have come together that way. Let’s write something that we’re all excited about today, and let’s worry about how all that comes together and how we wrap that up in a way that feels like A Day To Remember later. And this one was very much like let’s get into a room, let’s get together, let’s write with our producer, let’s collaborate with people, and let’s forget about what we think we’re supposed to do and just write what we’re influenced to work on today. It’s always like what are we inspired to write right now, and over the years that’s changed. ![]() So I’d actually say that every A Day To Remember record has been put together similarly in that there’s never a target. How did you guys initially want to approach the writing process for “You’re Welcome?” And is the outcome the direction you had originally intended? You’re Welcome might be your most diverse and forward thinking record to date, considering its variety of styles and rock tropes. ![]()
