Host: My Song 5 is a little bit of a surprise when you listen to the record. It's like "Is that you? Is that really you? It's not what I was expecting but I like it."
Danielle: That song, I mean just the title 'My Song 5', its the demo. It's whenever you open a Garageband track, you know, it gives you a title already and the first title is 'My Song 1' and then once you use that up-
Este: It goes: 2, 3, 4, 5
Danielle: The next, My Song 2, My- Unless you name it something, and for me, whenever I'm making, we're making or just writing and not making any specific idea or we don't have an idea for a lyric it kinda. Like, it's weird to kind of name a song before you even create anything.
All: Yeah.
Danielle: So, once we got to My Song 5, we kind of created this weird melody with these weird drums and just kind of brainstormed a bunch of different ideas on this one session. And I remember bringing it to Ariel and I was like "There's something to this, I don't know what but there's all these kind of random parts but I think they can work together." And we worked on it and it just always stayed My Song 5. We never changed-
Alana: Everyone was like "What is My Song 5's name?" and we were like "My Song 5."
Danielle: We were like we don't know- it just always felt that it should just be called that, just because it is- There's so many different parts and it kind of just sounds like a demo and we used a lot of the sounds from the demo. Like, there's a part where I say "Honey I'm not you're honey pie." and that's literally me in my living room on Garageband with like a weird CD like stuck in- like you can hear like the weird humming from the CD, like my stuck CD in my laptop. Like, you know, we used a lot of the Garageband sounds on that. It just seemed like we should keep it My Song 5.
Este: That was a fun one to record too.
Alana and Danielle: Yeah.
Danielle: Just cuz we were, we wanted to keep the demo-ish quality of it but kind of amp it up.
