"I haven't written a song in over a year, not one single song." "I'm terrified of starting." "I'm terrified of confronting myself with the thought of   having to start somewhere." "Henke, Mads, Asger and I are standing like racehorses at the starting line." "We need to kick ourselves in the ass  to get moving, or I do." "I do." "I need to kick myself in the ass  and just do it instead of feeling sorry for myself." "One year earlier" "One year earlier" " Thank you." "The winner is..." " And the winner is..." "Kashmir." "Damn, this is exciting." "But the winner is..." "Kashmir!" "Well, well." "What does winning all these prizes mean?" "6 Grammy's..." "I can whistle." "They came up to me and they said:" "That's too far out." "Being recognized because you look a little "rock"." "It's not even that, they could tell you were a rock star." "This is going on the website." "It's an awesome picture." "I like this stuff." "What else do you like?" "Playing electric bass, smoking cigarettes and wearing denim." "It's not because I don't listen to you, Mads, but..." "I have to wear these, I think." "What do you think, Stener?" " About what?" " Which shoes?" "The most comfortable ones." "It doesn't matter at all." "Just wear the most comfortable ones." " That's a cool shirt." " I'm playing in the white one." " Okay." " Is it okay?" "Yes, but I think the other one is cool too." " You prefer the other one?" " Yes, I think so." " I'd definitely say the white one." " You would?" "Are you crazy?" "I think it's the best." "I love the other one, the Jefferson, but the Grand Prix is..." "I think you look better in "Jefferson"." "It was great that after our sound check " "It was great that after our sound check   some people came over and said it sounded good." "It always makes you feel good." "Every little bit helps." "You need every bit of positive energy when you're  a shaker." "I can't tell if I'm nervous   or if I'm excited or if I feel comfortable." "I think it's in between really." "I don't want to make a big deal out of it." "But I also know that this is the most important concert." "We've never played a more important concert than this one." "And I know I need to stop focusing on it." "But I do when I say it to you." "And we all know it, but no one wants to talk about it." "It's between the lines." "It's in the air." "People are a little:" "It will be cool." "We're looking forward to it." "We really are." "I'm looking forward to it." "It's weird being here with the guys and knowing that   10 of the biggest record companies in the US are coming to see us." "So I'm a little... okay, wow." "Why the hell aren't we on there?" "That was the least they could do." " I don't know." "Ask Rikke." " Losers." " Is it because we're nothing?" " Yes, of course." "Don't get paranoid, if something happens or you get nervous." "So fuck it." "Who wouldn't do that?" "Stay cool." "It won't be a disaster if you get a weird feeling." "That's where you might get a little..." "Use it, use it for something good." "There's no reason to be paranoid." "Like today when you kept stopping things " " I know you did it because things didn't sound right." "But we just have to keep going tonight, no matter what   no matter if we play it wrong, we can't start over." "We'll just take it from there." "Are you cool with that?" "Copenhagen, one year later" "You don't always feel like an artist because you've released 3 albums." "What kind of film is this?" "What do you want out of this project?" "It doesn't take much." "Yes, it does." "It does, but..." "You need to turn off the camera, I can't..." "It's hard to say what I'm doing wrong, but I am doing something wrong." "It's been so long since I've had a big flow of things." "Sometimes I doubt whether I'm a composer or an artist at all." "I'm getting ideas again because I stopped concentrating on them." "But..." " Well..." " Do you feel guilty?" "I always feel guilty when I'm not doing anything." "The toughest pressure comes from myself." "There's something meditative about peeling an orange   so I'm going to do that." "It's easy enough to pull something out of your butt that's just..." "That's easy enough." "What's hard is to get something that is   honest and true and that you can see yourself in." "The right things appear in the moment when you look away." "When you just..." "What?" "What did I just write?" "That's how I felt." "A short verse about your life that says everything about what you felt." "It's dangerous if you make it a compulsion." "It's dangerous if you see it as a monkey on your back   forcing you to express something." "I often wonder whether I'll ever write anything again." "Maybe I won't." "Will I ever write anything I like?" "Maybe not." "Maybe I need to do something else." "Should I sing this instead?" "I understand that you're a little touchy about this." "It's completely new and you want us to have clear reactions." " Isn't that right, Kasper?" " Yeah, that's probably..." "And you see our faces and don't know how we're reacting." "Isn't that it?" "Honestly?" "When I sit like this while you're singing, you think: "What is it? "." " "Is something wrong? "" " Of course." "It's because you're self-conscious about it, which is totally natural." "But I think you need to count on people saying what they think." "We need to trust each other to speak up if there's a problem." "I just don't want us to decide right now, based on this tiny new idea." " I definitely haven't." " Good." "No, Good." "Fine." "Suddenly this idea occurred to us yesterday." "It came out of nowhere." "I had an idea about some chords." "Then a lyric appeared." "Henke knows nothing about it." "He just knows we jammed a little, so we'll try to keep it..." "Because he wasn't there yesterday." "He was sick." "He can't go thinking the boys don't do anything when he's not there." "How did you do?" "Does it have a shape?" "No, we just jammed." "We couldn't get it together for the longest time." "We just jammed a little." "And then finally, Asger had this idea for a strange beat." "That's very cool." "That's pretty cool." "I've been thinking about it all morning." "I felt the same way when I woke up this morning..." "It's really moody." "I really like it." "It's got a really good vibe." "It worked right away." " It's great to hear." " It sounded great." "It was awesome to listen to." "It's cool." "We kept playing it until we had a take everyone liked." "It kept growing as we played it yesterday." "We were like, how could it be so easy?" "How is it possible?" "And we didn't want to tell Henke   "We did a song, want to hear it? "" "We wanted to be like:" ""We did something you can hear"." " That's why you were so secretive." " But you "interviewed" it out of me." ""What's new? " "A thing we did."" ""What is it? " "A jam thing"" ""Is it good? " "Yeah, it's okay"" " I didn't sound like that." " No, but you pulled the secret out." " We did some piano yesterday." " Oh?" " Maybe we should check it out." " Can I hear it?" "Why couldn't I hear it?" " That seemed pretty cool." " I think it sounds good." "I think so too, but it needs to be more unisonant." "It sounds perfect there, but I'd like to try it an octave higher." " With Kasper's guitar." " Isn't that what you did?" "No, it was here." "I'd like to hear it, just to get some clarity." "It's good and it's cool when Kasper responds with those..." "I liked the first refrain when you played that." "It made it lazy in a cool way, those half-tempo chords." "That was lovely." "You could emphasize the 7 in the A-chord." " On the way down?" " Yes, that sounded fantastic." "I don't know." "I thought it sounded a little..." "It wasn't as prominent there and I like that." " This could be cool." " This could be mother-fucking cool." "How cool!" "What's up with that?" "We wrote a song." " And I think the lyrics work." " I think so too." "I really like it." "Just think about..." "Santa Claus, Santa Claus..." "Great lyrics." "All you did was smoke a cigarette and then..." "Just change there..." "Try taking that..." "Take that chord." "Can you go on from there?" "Yes, try that." "Try going down two notes each time or a whole note." "And then maybe half a note on the last one." "The song isn't finished." "It's just a skeleton." "Perhaps we ought to structure that solo a little more." "Right now, it's a little uncertain where it's going." "We need a color of something else that could work somewhere   so you don't just come back   so it isn't just a roundabout feeling so you get a zero and a 100." "We're just looping it at the moment and it feels boring." "It needs to build, right?" "I need to try that." "That was cool." " We are the sorrow boys." " The Kings of Sorrow." "It's awesome working on new songs." "It's more awesome than you could imagine." "To really be moving again, to be getting stuff done..." "Something that..." "So it doesn't just..." "Wait." "We've got a lot to do, but we're here now and this needs to be cool." " But I can't do anything." " Stop that, Mads." " No, Kasper." " Stop it, Mads." "Don't do that." " It's not about how you play bass." " I don't say that when you record." " It's not about how you play bass." " But this isn't working." "Don't do that." "We just need to move on." "We're all talking and I'm just saying, let's get it done." "I just think it's the wrong way to say it." "I'm really sorry." "You don't have to say "stop that"." "It seems so aggressive." "But, I think it's..." "Let's just move on." "You're so sensitive." " No, I'm not." " That's how I perceive it." "It's just not cool to be told we've got a lot to do." "It's not cool." "I'm trying my best." " I know." " Good." "You can do it by yourself." "I don't want to be here." " That was a really cool reaction." " Yeah." " Refreshing." " The same to you, buddy." "It's cool." "I don't know what to do now." "Can anyone else help?" "Play some bass." "What the hell do I do now?" " There's nothing to do but play." " But that's what I want to do." "How about a little understanding that I've got this big turd here?" "Sure." "But it's just that we need to move on." "Sure, man." "We just need to get past this little bummer that I need to play." "Absolutely, but that's what we're doing." "Really?" "No kidding." "Well, Henrik, want to record this?" "It's just not cool to play something for them that's not finished   if they think it's not cool because it's not finished." "It would be a shame if they thought the new Kashmir wasn't cool." "It's a dangerous risk to take." "Listen, boys." " That was Anders 3:20." " And?" "He's seeing MTV today and wants to play one of our new songs for them." " If they only get to hear it, it's fine." " Maybe." "He suggests "Aftermath"." "Let's not underestimate the importance of them knowing who we are." " How about "Rocket Jack"?" " I don't think so." " What about what?" " "Rocket Brothers"." " I don't think so." " The vocals aren't as good." "I don't think "Rocket Brothers" is finished." "I'd like to talk about that." "There are some things that bother me arrangement-wise." "I think we can optimize it." "We can get closer to the song." "We can make it better." "No, we can't rerecord it." "That's stupid." " That's what I was thinking." " Really?" "I listened to it really closely last night." "I did too." "There are some really cool parts, but it's caught between two chairs." "I don't get the feeling that the recording was exciting enough." "I think we can get closer to it." "I've got to say it if I feel it." "Kasper, we need to be careful." "I'm glad you're saying this, but let's not do anything drastic." "We need to listen to it and figure out what we can do." " Nothing's going to disappear." " No, unless we..." " It will just be a new version." " Sure." "But let's see if we can fix the problems in the song." "Maybe we shouldn't be afraid of trying again, doing it differently." "I'm not trying to depress you or to be negative about this song." "I've felt this way for a while." "There's something about it that could be better." "I also feel that if you really don't feel good about that version   then I think it would be death trying to repair it." "I don't agree with Mads." "Maybe we should try a new version." " I don't think we can decide yet." " I don't believe in repairing it." "It would be a shame to take elements out of this version." " I think so too." " I don't think we should." "We should try to mobilize the desire to do it another way, to start over." "What needs to be different?" "Can you hear anything?" "Please be specific, because I don't know what's up." "It's no one's fault and you have to speak up if that's how you feel." "But I can't help being bummed about doing it over again." "Everyone needs to be happy, so that's how it has be." "I don't want to do it again if that's how you feel." " It won't be like that." " It won't work that way." "Like you said, we need to find the desire to do it another way." "If we're going to do it, we're going to do it right." " That's pretty cool." " Yeah..." "Cool..." "I got a phone call from James Guthrie   who mixed and co-produced part of "The Good Life"." "He also co-produced, as it's called   but in fact actually produced   "The Wall" and "The Final Cut" with Pink Floyd." "Roger Waters, who used to play bass   and was the lead songwriter for Pink Floyd   is going on a world tour, where he'll pri marily play Pink Floyd songs   and some of his own work." "He needed a new guitarist and vocalist in his live band." "I started thinking all sorts of wild thoughts." "First I thought I couldn't for two reasons " " I can't leave my band for a six month world tour   and I'm not good enough for this job." "But then I talked it over with the band   and they were immediately on guard." "It's been three years since our last album   and we need to move on and release a new album." "So it wasn't the best time to leave for six months with a different band." "We talked about it and how it was the chance of a lifetime." "It would be idiotic to turn down an opportunity like this." "This is really bizarre." "When someone else is such a big part of your consciousness   as Roger Waters is for me..." "Most people have a hero or an idol   and when you've had one for as long as I have   that person becomes unreal or al most god-like." "You start seeing the person as supernatural or nonexistent   in a physical form." "I did it my way and put my own expression into it   and I don't think he wanted that so I didn't get the job." "I have thought about it since." "It would have been a huge adventure to tour the world in a private jet   staying at grand hotels in Brazil, Europe, Australia, Japan, Russia." "It would have been completely fantastic." "On the other hand, I'm also a little relieved I didn't get it   because my dream isn't to go out and be someone else." "My dream is to create my own universe with my band doing my stuff." "A man is coming from Stockholm to see us today." "He's the Head of A  R for Sony in Scandinavia." "A  R stands for Artist and Relation." "He handles everything to do with the music and the artists." "He's the one that approves the budgets and the music." "He has to say it's good enough, we want to release it." "So he's coming to hear a few songs." "And who knows, maybe he'll fire us." " Welcome." " How are you guys doing?" " Is it going well?" " I think it's going really well." "We're very surprised by how much we can do here." " It's very light." " We're not used to seeing daylight." " It's great." " It's even got air conditioning." " That's good too." " What do you want?" "They just need to hear something they haven't heard before." " Of course, the "Rocket Guys"." " "Rocket Guys"." "Turn it off." "This is really good, really." "Exciting." "The first one was my favorite." " Okay." " The first two are singles." " You must be satisfied." " What?" " You must be satisfied with it." " Definitely." " That's good to hear." " This is really good to hear." "It's both clearly Kashmir   and yet it's also totally new." "Awesome." "Great to see you too." "And congratulations on that wedding thing." "They wore black and I thought, "Oh my God, what if..."" "I also noticed the black-black." " There was always that initiative." " I was just going to say that." " I was just..." " And then it went away." "I kept trying to distract them." "Want some cake?" "Coffee?" "I caught myself trying to keep Leif's smile going." "It disappeared really quick." "Saying something funny and then..." "It went great." "It went..." " Who are you calling now?" " I'm trying to call James Guthrie." "I haven't talked to him for two weeks   about whether he wants to invite us to Lake Tahoe to mix our album." "He didn't sound happy." "He sounded stressed out, like he had to give me bad news." "Nope." "He doesn't have time." "He just found out yesterday and we had to wait." "And now we're in a situation where we've got nothing at all." "We're completely flat on our ass." "We've got no one to mix it and the album needs to be finished." "I simply don't know what to do now." "I don't know who to talk to." "I need to tell the band the bad news." "I don't know what to say or how to do it." "It's that final part of the process   that is so necessary to make it a good record." "It turned out he couldn't." "It's a shame, but we've found someone called John Cornfield." "He did all of Supergrass's records." "I think it sounds good." "Their music isn't me, but it sounds good." "Yes, I hope so." "We're meeting him on Thursday." "What if he's like..." "And when we get there he's..." "What if he's like..." "And when we get there he's..." " That would be such a bummer." " If he didn't quite have a grip..." " Guys, you want to see something?" " Yeah." "This is the record." " That is so trippy." " That's it?" "Modern technology..." "It's a 70's pencil box." "The whole record's in here?" "It's not this close to surreal, it's totally surreal." "We're here." "This troll is going to mix our record." "It's fantastic." "You've got to admit it's got charm." "I really hope he thinks it's cool." "I hope he gets into it." "We need to convince him." "He hasn't had the time to hear it." " That's a little irritating." " Is it?" "That he's not prepared." "It's like it's just a job." "We need you to feel good about singing with this guy." "It means a lot to me that you have a good vibe about singing this." "Maybe he's more down-to-earth." "Maybe that's what we need." "Yeah, but I don't think so." "But of course I'm worried." "I'm tense about him and what will happen." "He just needs to mix this album and he needs to make it sound good." "Precisely..." "Idiot!" "Why do I have to be so lame?" "Why did I need to spill that beer?" "Why do I lack all motor skills?" "I definitely don't lack motorskills." "Give me a beer, will you?" "It has to be constructive with a man like that." "But it's also really important that you tell him   because it's a sensitive process because you have to perform." "We're not just mixing, you have to do something." "It's very important that you two communicate well." "You need to tell him you need his opinion and his feedback for this." "Otherwise I think we need to follow our intuition of how it should be." "Otherwise I think we need to follow our intuition of how it should be." "Do you think they're still downstairs?" "Let's have a look." "You've got this treasure in your hand   that you've spent so much time building   and you want to hand it over to someone you trust." "John Cornfield was someone who definitely didn't seem attractive." "He was careful." "He was calm and he didn't throw compliments around." "But when you got a compliment, when he said "it's fucking great"  you almost fell off your chair   because you knew you had gotten an honest response." "On that "go", it needs to be shorter and more distinct." "It's really damn good." "It's damn good." "He said to take it easy, because the material's super." "It can't go wrong." "Now you can feel that he's not holding back the compliments." "And he's totally consistent." "Yeah, and he said..." "That's it." "And that the man can be so professionally intuitive." "It's totally..." "Hat's off." "It's really cool." "I knew it." "Good brother, it's awesome." "It's cooking now." "It's awesome." "Hats off." "Fuck me, this is cool." "Good afternoon, Roskilde!"
