Written in Reverse: brittdaniel takes us through spoontheband's greatest hits set
frontman Britt Daniel bluntly answers when asked what made him want to release a greatest hits album.
But narrowing those 30 or 40 tracks down to 13 would be a near-impossible undertaking for any Spoon fan, let alone for the man who wrote the songs themselves. The end result was a set of songs that touch upon every album they’ve released this century, from their 2001 breakthrough, all the way to “No Bullets Spent,” a new song that was recorded just this February.
And then they just took forever making that record. I don’t think it really had come out by the time that we were working onand we were looking for more songs to do. I said, “I know this one; it’s a hit! I know this song and nobody knows it! They’ll probably think it’s our song!” We gave it a shot and it was one of those times when recording a cover really works. There’s no point in doing a cover if you’re not going to bring some of your own identity to it. I felt like we pulled it off.
Making “The Way We Get By” was sort of like “…Camera On,” where I had this feeling that when we recorded all of these songs, that that would be the one where the label would say, “Let’s try to push that one.” It was cool! We’d used horns occasionally, but not a horn section, certainly not a pro one like that. It was just cool watching it come together because it was just an idea I had in my mind and I sang some melody on the demo that I think Jon Brion grabbed as a melody as the starting point for what he was writing for the horn section. Just seeing it evolve like that was real cool.Everything on this record is a single except for “I Summon You,” which has become a fan favorite over the years.
I guess we’re just trying to provide some pacing for the record. We always do think quite a bit about that when we’re putting together any record, whether it’s a new one or this compilation. I think we needed a breather there before we go onto the explosive bit of “Rent I Pay,” “You Got Yr Cherry Bomb,” and “Got Nuffin.” It felt like the right thing right there for me.
