![]() ![]() ![]() I’ll stop the world and melt with you “I Melt with You,” artwork by Vaughan Oliver He showed me how to stand in front of a microphone and just talk into it, so that’s how you get that almost spoken word thing, which is what I think is kind of the charm of it, I suppose.” “I wrote the words, but I never actually stood next to a mic and talked into it before. “He put them all in an order, and that’s how the musical side of it came about with the lyrics,” shares Grey. Grey says that after their rehearsals with the producer, they had all these fragments of music and didn’t know what to do with them, but Jones helped the band configure them into songs, including the parts of “I Melt with You.” We used to call them pieces, little bits of music we’d stick together, almost like we were glueing it.” “At the time, we did not write songs that went verse, chorus, verse, chorus. “He came to see us play, and he heard all our noisy stuff,” says Grey. Under the tutelage of producer Hugh Jones, who had already worked with Echo & the Bunnymen, Simple Minds, and The Damned at this point, the band pieced together the final arrangement around “I Melt With You,” right down to the indelible break of Hmmm hmmm hmmm. We never really thought about it, so it was really exciting to do.” We never used acoustic guitars before or string arrangements, but that’s the first time on After the Snow. “We didn’t want to keep going over the same ground, so when the producer joined, he started to bring melody to the table.

But then they got the money and quickly forgot about the conflict.
