allof-this:

So I was listening to Lost Tree by VersaEmerge and the first half was fucking haunting, and then they started screaming and I wanted to shoot myself. Fml. Why do people always do that? It kills a song.

“Lost Tree is actually the name of the street and neighborhood where Blake grew up. When I first went to his house, I was so obsessed with the name. How can a tree be lost? It’s rooted in one spot forever! It’s so interesting to me. I knew this song was meant to be “Lost Tree.” We had way too much fun tracking it. We used a Theremin, which none of us knew how to play. We each just took turns trying it out. I went in to do vocals with all the lights off and a few candles lit. Dave was messing with the delay and other vocal effects. I started saying and singing all these odd things and messing around when he said, “Sierra, do whatever you feel. We’re gonna track this!”  So all the swirly background “ohs and ahs” and the big yell was a moment of truly being lost in the music. The vibe was unbelievable. We all left the studio that day on a musical high.” -Sierra

That’s why.
