so it left to me and Owen to… sort of…
还有一部分工作等着我和Owen去做
cause we are the producers sort of like then not to make it all sound you know to turn it older than that (?)
因为我们不想让歌听起来那么老派 (不确定)
And then anyway comes to the guitar solo bit.

Owen suggested that we turn the tapes over Owen
建议我们把带子翻面
and play it backwards and play just series of random notes
倒过来放 再随机弹一些音
and then we’ll see if we could get some sort of solo out of it.
然后看看我们能不能从中找到什么独奏的点子
We thought it was going to take hours.
我们还以为会花上很长时间
When we turned the tapes back over, that was it.

It just all fit in complete…

And I think we maybe had to take a couple of notes out.

And then we spent… a couple of days on the strings and the brass

and then just got the intro
于是前奏就完成了
and you know put them on the side of it and that was it.
