There is nothing I enjoy more than learning how a song comes together for a band. This week, Buick released a video that showcased the writing and recording process of indie rock band Hellogoodbye. Tasked with the challenge to write a song in two days while on the road, frontman Forrest Kline expressed his nervousness.
“We’re trying to come up with and record a song in basically two days, against my better judgement probably,” said Kline. “I like to sit and tweak the things for days on end. We’re trying to capture the whole progress of making that and the end result.”
Constantly on the road touring, Kline admits that the road is actually a really good place to get inspired.
“On the road things happen that you don’t plan for and you learn from all those experiences. With this track, we really just tried to write an honest song and capture it in an honest way,” he added.
