12/3/09 “Sometimes I Try To Compare Us To People From The Past And I’ve Always Thought Of This As Our Super Brutally Honest Roy Orbison-Style Song Like It’s Over Or Crying These Brutally Honest And Upfront Songs And With Used To Be It’s Just A Slap In The Face With A Very Traditional Melody.” ~ Alex WOW ?/09 “We Got Back From A Tour We Got Creative We Instantly Made That Song We Released It And I Don’t Know Why We Did That It’s Just Something We Did. But The New Version Of It Is Quite Different And More Part Of The New Album. I Think It Was Just Something So That We Could Release Something To Tour And Have Fun With. The Sound Of That {2008} Single Is Not Really The Beginning Of The Sound That Ended Up Being Teen Dream. That Didn’t Come Until The Beginning Of The Year When We Started To Put That Sound Together. That’s Why We Had To Redo Used To Be Because It Didn’t Fit With All The New Energy We Were Channeling. The Whole Album We See As Multicolored And The Songs Are Huge They’re Not One Dimensional They’re Not Monotone And I Find That Single To Be Kind Of Monotone. It’s Just So Simple And To Me A Bit Underwhelming But The Reason We Re-Recorded It Is Because We Needed To Make It As Three-Dimensional And As Multifaceted And As Colorful As The Rest Of The Songs On That Album.” ~ Alex MagicRPM ?/09 “It Definitely Felt Like A Season Of Intense Change. We Had Been Gone On Tour For A Very Long Time And Things Just Started To Feel Different In A Good Way. We Had A Reaction To Something And That’s What That Came Out Of.” ~ Victoria MagicRPM 3/4/10 Why Did You Decide To Rework ‘Used To Be’ For This Album? “We Liked It And We Thought It Made Sense With The Album But The Arrangement That We Had We Both Felt Was Cheesy. It Was Written And Recorded Very Quickly—we Were Home For Three Weeks Between Tours And We Had This Little Song And Said ‘Let’s Go Record It Because It’s Fun’—and It Just Felt To Us Like An Incomplete Song And It Didn’t Feel Like It Was Part Of What We Are Doing Now. So We Kind Of Went Back To The Basic Piano Part That The Whole Song Started From And Built It Up Again In The Mindset Of This Record. And I Think It Became Less Dry And Dusty And Became More Colorful And Blossoming And More Emotional And Less Repetitive. It Became More Of A Flowery Song And I Think The Ending Is Way Better. It Says A Lot More. We Didn’t Want To Forget About The Song But We Wanted To Update It.” ~ Alex Cokemachineglow
