00:02Always remember how brilliant people are. People feel sound. They feel when it changes. They hear
00:06the sound of the wind or sounds bother them or sounds excite them. So when you change any sound,
00:13you are taking people on a journey with you. Hey, I'm Jack Antonoff. I'm at Ruboye. Today,
00:23I'm gonna break down Please Please Please by Sabrina Carpenter. I'm really excited to show
00:27you guys this one. It's a huge thing that I think about when I'm making music is I don't
00:39care how many times I've played this instrument, how do I access that part of me that discovered
00:44it for the first time? And to me, one of the great ways to do that is to just never
00:48rely
00:48on things you know. Just fucking around. And so you start to hear these things together.
01:08We were messing with different keys, and then we heard the second verse jump up. Sounds
01:16like she's having this idea in real time. And it's A to C. It's not a typical place you would
01:21lift to. And we were just all like, whoa. It's almost like the second verse is a dream. And
01:25then we go back to the reality of begging someone.
01:30Please, please, please don't prove I'm lying.
01:36The work of writing, producing, performing, mixing, engineering, mastering. There's all
01:42this technical ability. There's all this emotional ability. One of the most important elements
01:47is the protection that one must have in any of these positions. The protection to know what
01:54you think is great. That's a big thing for everyone who does this work. You know, we're
01:58not in a service industry. You know, all my favorite mixers, all my favorite engineers,
02:03you know, they're not there to do exactly what they're asked to do. They're there to express
02:11something from within themselves that takes the body of work to another level.
