On "I Got The Blues"

Here's mixtape and the recording of 'I Got The Blues'

I know we did it in the Olympic and the thing about this is really slow

I mean, it's a notice-reading kind of style tune, but it's not a nick of any of his tunes

But it's in the style of, yeah, the horns are really needed

It's like that Southern kind of band stuff

You know, he did these very slow tunes

I mean, he also did tunes superfast, but he used to do these super slow ballads

And so, we were inspired by that

And sometimes when you get like really slow tunes like this

It's very hard to keep the slow tempo

You just speed up

I mean, we're that kind of band; we will speed up things

But this one really holds the tempo and this kind of wrenching

You have to have this feel that it really wrenches at you

And you can only get that by doing it really slow

And I think this really comes off

It's not an easy number to do because when we've done it on stage

I've always found it quite tricky

There's the pace, it tends to speed up on stage

It's hard to keep it on the tempo, and it's quite hard to sing

I'm sorry, in the studio, but when you get out there, you just go up

It's like noticeable

But it's a good, it's a good tune to do

It'd be good to do it once or twice

We'll want to do it every night, to be honest
