One of these Days
Rob Caruso: "A 'na na'
song written in one sitting. 'I always want
the things that I can never have.' So true
about me."
Stay with Me
Rob Caruso: "Guitar
solo influenced by Glenn (Squeeze) Tilbrook."
One Lonely Heart
Rob Caruso: "Here’s the recipe for this one: A
Flesh For Lulu verse, a U2 chorus
and a Caruso middle eight. Good 80’s
pop." Dave Caruso: "I wrote the closing line
to the chorus -- 'Can you hear the thunder.' I
always thought that that line should've been sung in
the intro, too, at the end of the third measure.
It just wasn't meant to be. My other big
contribution of the song was in the bridge to the
chorus. Rob sang 'Laughter was the hardest
thing to find.' I echoed his line, and added
the round -- 'now it's the last thing, last thing,
last thing on my mind."
Every Little Thing
Rob Caruso: "A
love song? I had quite a cold the day I laid
this vocal down, but the studio time was booked, so
we let it rip!" Dave Caruso: "Rob and I laid
down the demo for this song in my home studio.
The guys actually used our original MIDI tracks for
the keyboard parts. I never liked the keyboard
patch they used, though -- it was too thin.
Most of my contributions were to parts of the
arrangement and some additional lyrics. The
second verse was mine. I also had the line
'You're under my skin but it's starting to crawl'
for a long time before I finally used it in this
song. I don't remember anymore who wrote 'I'm
gonna make a few repairs,' but I always liked that
line because it reminded me of McCartney's 'Fixing a
Hole.' We later sang this live with the Allen
Park Symphony, and it was a blast to hear the string
parts played by a real string section." |
