HAIM on If I Could Change Your Mind
Alana: If I Could Change Your Mind was, we wrote that, um
Danielle: In the studio
Alana: In the studio, which we had never done before. It's really, like because we usually like writing like in a familiar place like in our living room, or um
Danielle: My room
Alana: Or in Danielle's room. Basically in a house.
Host: How does it work? Does someone come up with one idea for the song or like a like catchy line or a hook or something and then everyone adds in? Or is it just kind of you write it with a guitar and-
Danielle: Well this song is really special like, really special because I think we were in the studio and kind of, you know, having, trying to finish The Wire like we said and just like trying to finish these songs that we had had, that we have had for years. We were like "I really just wanna just get my mind off of it and just try something new." And we kind of came up with some chords and like, kind of made like a drum track. Cuz we, for this record, we were really inspired by just drums. You know, writing to drum beats that we make. We kinda wrote the song in like a couple of hours and we were like "This is kinda good"
Alana: Yeah
Danielle: "Let's like kind of see it through." And we spent a couple days on it and made If I Could Change Your Mind.
