Rob Cavallo talks about Innocence
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
He is talikng about Avril: "Uninvited' [by Alanis Morissette] is one of her favorite songs, and she even played it at her wedding. She wanted a song with that same sort of epic intent. So based on the strength of that song, and particularly the Goo Goo Dolls' songs, we were brought together. We played around on the piano and thought of different ways of recording the song. We used the Goo Goo Dolls and Alanis as reference points, but by cutting the song the first time, we were able to learn about the song. And the song told us a lot about itself, so we were able to make subtle changes from there. It was a great process. Avril doesn't like to spend hours on a song; she likes to come in and make her comments, and then let you work on it so that she can stay fresh. Then when you've actually gotten there, she knows it. She sings very fast, pretty much in the pocket, right off the bat. But that track has to be inspiring to her, so she works really hard to get the track together, and then, because she has such a strong vision of what she wants to do with that vocal, when she does it, it really comes together easily.
