[Bb] Ah, ah.
Ophelia [F] was the first song we sort of felt like we completed
on the [Dm] new record.
And then it kind of [Bb] solidified it.
And we felt like, oh, [F] this is the new record.
This is where it's going to go.
It was [Dm] always something that Jer would kind of play with
during [Bb] sound check or whatever.
And I think [F] it was one of the first ideas
that became AlbumTube.
I can [Bb] remember being in the studio.
And when we hit [F] play and listened back to it, we just
were screaming, feeling really [Dm] fucking high and [F] proud.
[D]
[F] The song came out of the hook melody.
I remember Jer was playing it [Gb] in a hotel.
[A] Probably almost eight years ago.
I was like, I just wonder what you're doing for the verse melody.
I [F] remember this intro on the piano that I wrote, this piano
in [Dm] my parents' house.
[Bb] Probably [F] four or five years ago, I showed it to Wes.
And he really liked it.
And he started singing the chorus [Dm] out of nowhere.
And then I'm [F] like, what the hell is that?
That should be on the second [G] album.
[F]
[Dm] [F] [D] Ah, [Bb] ah. Ah, [F] ah.
Ah, ah. Ah, ah.
[Dm] Feels like.
Right now in the demo [F] process, there's no guitar.
[C] And it's just mostly piano.
[Dm] We're trying to come up with something [F] cinematic and
something very distinct and specific.
It [Dm] feels like Submarines did, where a lot of things are
happening [F] in a short period of time.
Everything is so dense.
And everything's there [Bb] because it's supposed to be there.
[F]
There's a lot of linear storytelling going on in certain songs.
But with [Am] this song, Ophelia, it was very visceral and [D] a
stream of consciousness.
[F] And then out of that, there [Dm] came a truth.
It has a lot to do with just dealing [D] with success and
expectations and pressure.
Like, I can't feel no remorse.
I don't know why I said that line.
But it feels very appropriate and just fits the moment.
And when I think back, that's me feeling really disconnected
[Bb] from the people around me.
[F]
[D] It really embodies [F] much of what we do.
It's a [Dm] really simple song.
But there's so much thought [A] and intricacy that goes into that [F] simplicity.
I think this album really [Dm] has so many strong ideas,
sonically, a more mature, evolved [F] sound.
It feels richer and truly [Dm] expressive and experimental.
But at the same time, totally [D] just great music.
This is [Dm] an important song.
And when we look back on all the songs we've written, that
will always be one of the more [F] important songs to us.
