Inside the Studio for "Over Each Other" [LPTV FROM ZERO: Episode 20]

[martinez]

Fourth episode of behind the scenes from the making of the From Zero album. This episode shows the process of the making of "Over Each Other" track.

 

 

[MMM]

It's good to see Brad Rubin again

[JZLP-Benningstrong]

It's kinda obvious that they wanted to give Emily a solo song, which she had more input in the song she's a really strong songwriter probably her lyrics are better than most of the FZ lyrics.

 

Mike demo vocals were good, which that this song was more like a back and forth track, and have something else like an instrumental bridge, some piano solo, i dont know the song sounds kinda empty.

 

this song for me falls in the same quality pot as StAIIiIneeEEEEEEDD and CTB.

I think they over produced the instruments of this song, I like the slightly more raw sounds we hear in this video, I think it would have juxtaposed with the lyrics and singing style well

[blackout]

It seems that Over Each Other was an OML demo and that's why Jon Green is credited for this song. At the beginning of this LPTV video they say "it's still the same" so I guess it was being worked on during OML sessions because they already know the song. It sounds like Dave and Joe certainly heard this song way earlier than December 2022. Same with Brad at the end of the video. This makes me think that maybe even Chester heard Over Each Other in this demo version, interesting... Probably there's no version with Chester vocals - Mike sang on a lot of demos first and then Chester recorded his vocals after picking the right songs. 

 

I am wondering why they blurred parts of Joe's notes in the video. There's something about "live setting" there, I suppose? Were they thinking about live shows back in 2022 already? Intriguing. Something doesn't add up here because they said that at first they were just hanging out without thinking about working on a specific serious project. Maybe it was just a thought while working on one of the songs.

 

I'd love to hear Mike's demo versions of songs from FZ. They sound great! Emily's voice is awesome, don't get me wrong, but Mike's demos give more classic LP vibes. I also agree with @demoncarnotaur - the final version seems slightly overproduced - in the demo version we can hear some more raw instruments.

 

Brad joined very late in the process, it seems. Probably only a few months before the release of the album. In this part with Brad talking, Over Each Other sounds almost the same as on the album.

I think Brad joined in late 2023. In the making of Friendly Fire we see Brad working with Mike in december 23, so he must have been working with the rest of the band too

I wonder if Brad coming back to help finish Friendly Fire sparked his involvement in From Zero.

This was probably my favorite Inside the Studio LPTVs so far. More detailed and quite funny. Now I'm even more intrigued for the episodes for the second half of the album.

Someone here mentioned the idea of mixing the footages of all episodes together in a chronological way. Watching the process that way would also look really cool.

It'd cool to release it on DVD with the deluxe edition of the album.

What a wasted opportunity

man after hearing Mike's demo vocals i now wish OEO was a back and forth between both of them. Emily solo version is good but that would have been so much better imo lol

exactly. i'm the same. while i love Chester, Mike and Emily's solo track, i feel some of their best songs are those that features the two vocalist on it. This is what always stood out for me with their music. yea i'm sure there are plenty of bands/artists with two vocalist, but there's something different from Linkin Park

I think it would be sonically interesting but awkward for them to play a couple in a song 

 

What I would really love is a song like COG between them, or for us to get a proshot COG because I feel like that song sounds amazing with a female vocalist

Cut the Bridge and Over Each Other are good Songs and Stained is not good.
