IN THE HEAT OF THE NIGHT

Pat: The producer Mike Chapman, used to coach me on how to get the feel of that song. He used to sit there and sing it melodramatically in my face. It was great. You never knew what was going to happen on that first record because it was the first time we really all played together, and nobody really knew what they could do.

Neil: That eerie kind of singing guitar effect was a result of just messing around with Chapman and having a good time. It was just plucking through a chorus-echo effect.

WE LIVE FOR LOVE

Neil: That was our big vocal. I think there were 64 tracks of Patti. I just remember it was the last song we did on the record. We had nine done amd we needed one more, so I went swimming one day and I wrote it while I was in the swimming pool. I started the chorus, and then I remembered, I better write this down. I went into the house and started banging on the guitar. I was dripping wet and I finished the song except for some lyrics.

SO SINCERE

Pat: I think Roger wrote that one at Catch A Rising Star. It was before we started the record. At the time Roger was the original player in the band, before anyone else came. Roger was always out there with his lyrics. He came up with the basic idea and I finished it up. I'm a good finisher. They give me all the little things. That's what I do. I'm the cleaner.

Neil: I did some slide guitar on that one. I remember playing slide with a Bic Lighter. I couldn't get a slide bar. We didn't have any roadies at the time. Actually, I did have a slide bar, but it broke. So I figured I'd go to a Bic Lighter, which worked pretty well.

MY CLONE SLEEPS ALONE

Pat: That was also by Roger. He called me up with the lyrics one morning at 6. He was up all night and he wrote this song about cloning. I said, goodnight, call me later. He wrote it around the time of the big controversy about clones - there was a big article in the New york Times.

HEARTBREAKER

Pat: That was written by these two English guys, Gill and Wade, and it had all these little English colloquialisms that Americans would never say. So the publisher gave it to me to clean up, and I had to figure out all these lyrics. It was making me crazy. But I loved the song from the first time I heard it, so I rewrote the lyrics and we did the song as it appears here. It's one of my favorites.

Neil: It was our producer's idea to drop out all the echo at one point.

Pat: We were just trying anything, 'cause when your doing it you don't care, you just do anything. You're so happy to be there for the first time that you do anything.
