"We allowed the songs to kind of meander to where they felt good"

Sister Hazel

Cris Cohen: At the beginning of the song “All Goes By So Fast,” the bass is very prominent. It establishes the groove. How did that come about, and how comfortable were you leading the charge?

Jett Beres of Sister Hazel: Well, I think it was one of those things, you're never really sure. That's not how the song came in. It came in completely different. And we were in one of those really cool creative flows with the song.

And to have the songwriter, Ken (Block), open that up to us and go, “Hey, let's just try different things and see what works and what feels good, and chase that.” That was really where that came from.

And that was the coolest part about making this whole record is we did that a lot. We allowed the songs to kind of meander to where they felt good. And when they felt good, we all kind of looked around and went, “Oh, wait a minute.”

And so, you're not locked into anything. You're following your emotion. That's what translates to people, right?

So, we didn't set out to go, “This is where the song is going to start.” It organically grew from a groove. And then I started crafting this bass line. The guys were in the room, and they were like, “Take out that part,” and “Maybe this is a little better.” Then I had this little bass line, and they were like, “Let's just start it with that and build off of that.”

But once again, it was just very much following the room, following the energy. And that song is a perfect example of that.
