what we want to say, what people need to sing,
etcetera. But that particular song started from
a musical perspective first. One of our modes
of operation for this last album was to try to
make creative choices and take creative risks
when it comes to arrangements, or the musical
side of what we do. So, we had this phrase
that we kept throwing around when we were
writing the project called “crash the plane”,
we’d say, “We’re going to try to crash the
plane.” Meaning, if a commercial pilot takes a
plane into the air, he needs to take them from
point A to point B and make sure everyone is
safe, so he gets them to a comfortable cruising
altitude and hopefully doesn’t have too many
bumps, and a few hours later he’s flown from
Minneapolis to LAX and everyone is safe and
happy and nothing really exciting happened.
Then there’s a fighter pilot or a stunt pilot who
wants to do barrel rolls, and wants to go 360,
and wants to take the plane the fastest it can
go, to accomplish something amazing. So, we
told ourselves that a lot in the beginning of the
process to try to accomplish creative and fresh
things in the project, an
“All of Me” was somet
take a risk on, and we
came out.
