![]() ![]() When it all goes down, the only thing that you'll be able to do is laugh about it and just throw your hands up.Īnyone can just say those lyrics and have no meaning behind it, but it was extremely important to us to have a conversation and really know what we're talking about, because when I sing it and perform it for the next ten years of my life, I'm going to want to feel that. What's going to happen here, we'll laugh about it all one day. When everything goes down, it's not going to matter. So the point is: what do you say, it doesn't really matter anyways. So 100 years from now, literally we will have transformed the planet, and all of this arguing and bitching won't mean a thing because everyone is going to be like, "They fucked us up." This is what happens when you dump so much C02 every day. We lost 30% of the polar icecaps in the last 30 years. And I remember bringing it up: in 60, 70 years when the planet has changed and those polar icecaps melt, it will be such a very different place. When the music's done, we discuss it and talk about how it makes us feel. So it's a take on this constant noise level in society. Bill O'Reilly said he loves the money, he doesn't really care about what he's saying, as long as he makes money. No one's taking the time to actually sit there and listen. Everybody's screaming and yelling all at the same time and no one's listening. Everybody spent a ton of money getting Obama into office, all the poor people, and as soon as he gets in, five guys from the Tea Party stop everything and now we can't even get the government doing anything. So I was thinking, "Hey, hey, what do you say?" It really doesn't matter anyway, and everyone bitches and nothing gets done. It's almost like a little callous and almost sarcastic. They may throw a piece of paper into a garbage can from ten feet and they're like, "Hey, man, nice shot." It's a strange way to talk about R. ![]() Has anyone ever said that?" And I looked around on the Internet and thought to myself, it's one of those things that you hear, it's like, " Hey man, nice shot." Everyone says that at some point for something. ![]() Then we started recording the pieces together and as we were recording the pieces, we quickly went and started writing lyrics as I was hearing it on playback - when Jonny got done playing guitars. All that darkness all around in there.Īnd then Jonny whipped out a chorus really quick, so we had the music. You know, the third, sixth, and seventh fret. Then we put it into Filter chords, which is always way down by the third, fourth fret. They had kind of a cool groove, so we were inspired by that and picked up on that groove, and started writing around that. We were listening to a band called Kasabian. And then we got together with Bob Marlette and we sat outside with acoustics, and we came up with like five parts for the song "What Do You Say." We'd bash it out on guitar for a little bit and then we'd record a section, bash it out. We started piecing together music inside the computer first. Richard Patrick: Well, it started with me and Jonny. Greg Prato (Songfacts): Let's talk about the new Filter album, The Sun Comes Out Tonight. He also shared his thoughts on the short-lived supergroup, Army of Anyone, which saw Patrick joined by Stone Temple Pilots' Dean and Robert DeLeo, and Korn's Ray Luzier. In this interview, Patrick talked about the writing and recording of The Sun Comes Out Tonight, the stories behind Filter's biggest hits, and his lasting Nine Inch Nails memories. And like the band's previous effort, 2010's The Trouble with Angels, Filter's latest features input from Bob Marlette in both a production and songwriting capacity. On Filter's sixth studio effort, The Sun Comes Out Tonight, Patrick has a new songwriting partner: ex-Kill Hannah guitarist Jonathan Radtke. Although Richard Patrick found himself imploring Trent Reznor to explore his angrier/heavier side when they were together in Nine Inch Nails, Patrick also isn't afraid to show off his melodic side, as evidenced by such radio hits as "Hey Man, Nice Shot" and "Take A Picture," from his post-NIN band, Filter.
