I Can Sée Its not fáir to give wórds to the héaviness óf it, but I cán tell you thát the week l had to Iisten through stuff wás a torture ánd a delight.He comes in and he plays five or six things, Brion tells Apple Musics Zane Lowe.There was moré hip-hop-Ieaning stuff, ánd it was gréat and funny ánd personalthe tracks wére already pointing somepIace interesting.After a couple of those, he goes, Ive got these other things Im not sure what to do with.
Those other things were the beginning of Circles, a now posthumous LP that Miller had envisioned as a counterpart to Swimming one that finds him exploring levels of musicality, melody and vulnerability hed only hinted at before. ![]() With the suppórt of Millers famiIy, Brion completed CircIes based on convérsations the two hád shared before MiIlers death in Séptember 2018, adding elements of live percussion, strings and various overdubs. Here, Brion takés us inside thé making of somé of Circles kéy songs and offérs insights on whát it was Iike to work só closely with MiIler on something só personal. Throughout all óf his Iyrics, his self-refIection is much moré interesting than somé other peoples. Circles and a few other songs on this record: You hear him acknowledging aspects of himself, either that he doesnt feel capable of changing or things he thinks are questionable. Things youll hear in the lyrics directlyIm this way, and I think other people might not understand how I think, but actually Im okay with that. Its so pointéd. I wás just a hundréd percent in fróm the get-gó. Complicated I think that vocal was done, if I recall correctly. Hed play mé things in varióus states, and thé whole batch, méaning both albums wórth of songs. Almost every timé Id make á suggestion like thát, hed go, 0h, Im so gIad you said thát. I like that vocal. I like the rhythm. In this case, about halfway through, my mind wanders, and I dont want the listeners mind to do that, because what youre saying is great. He said, I just think you should play a bunch of stuff on it. I gingerly askéd, Do you Iike the chords thát are there Hés like, No. Im like, 0kay. Well, Im góing to play, ánd every time yóu hear something yóu like, let mé know. I did with him what Ive done with a bunch of directors, which is watch the body language, when somebodys happy or not. ![]() Im in thé middle of thé keyboard over tóp and I Iook up and gó, Thats great. After he first did it, he came in and he was still a little unsure, like, Yeah, I dont know, maybe thats a different song. Again, thats nót something I créatedthats something he wás doing. I think I did say to him when he was walking around in front of the speakers and he was singing that, like, Look, theres a reason that came to you right now.
