“The Spark That Bled” was kind of inspired by “Good Vibrations,” by Brian Wilson and The Beach Boys it’s a bit of a construct, in that it goes from one part to the next. And when you’re in a recording studio, you just keep messing with it until the parts mesh and they’re all in the right tempo. But in a live context, it’s a very challenging piece of music for everybody to play. It changes keys, it changes tempos, and sometimes you’re just standing there holding on, hoping we’re all together I’m counting in my head here and there to make sure we’re in the right spot, so worried about everything happening the way it should. That’s a song that we’ve really never played live, except for when we do these Soft Bulletin shows.īut it’s really a case of, “Whatever happens, it’s going to sound cool!” I think for the audience, it’s really great-they don’t have to do any of the work, they just get to sit there and have fun! But it’s great it’s such a fun, ridiculous, but really heartfelt and melodic song.
