I’ll just leave the speaking in tongues version on the album.” It will never make sense, but the song is called “Let It Happen,” and it’s about allowing what is overtaking you to take control. So I had to make the decision, like, “Fuck it. I’m totally contradicting what I said before, but I couldn’t get back the same groove I did when I was speaking in tongues. And I only did it a few days ago, a week before mastering. So I was just doing that, and then I left that for months and months, always planning to go back and re-record it with real lyrics. I do that a lot when I’m demoing and fleshing out ideas, because I’ve got the emotion in me, but I haven’t turned it into words yet. I was saying words and stringing sentences together that weren’t really words. And I didn’t even know what I was saying. And the first take I did, I was just singing gibberish and making sounds with my mouth just to test it out. So much is that true, that on the first song, “Let It Happen,” there’s this part at the end where I’m singing through this keyboard sampler thing, almost like a vocoder but not really. But at the same time, I’m getting better at finding out what it was that was so cool about that original thing and being able to do it again. No matter how hard you try, you can’t get it back. The first crusty demo and first vocal take and first fuck around with the song has this energy and vibe to it that you can’t replicate. I think that’s one of the things that you only get with experience. Kevin Parker: Yeah, I think I’m getting better as a producer. Matt Fink ( Under the Radar): You said before that you spend most of your studio time trying to recapture the spirit of your original demo.
The interview was conducted while Parker was putting the finishing touches on the album and just before “Let It Happen” was released.
