Live With It took shape in the studio with fellow mad scientist, Emre Ramazanoglu (Sia, Nilufer Yanya, Ritual).
How the song came about in LUME’s own words:
The intro came from riffing into a mic, with Emre adding a vocoder plug-in on top, to thicken and morph the sound. We recorded this, and chopped up the best moments, using those as samples, throughout the song.
The intro feels like a hypnotic mantra to me, the kind of mantra where you’re having to keep telling yourself that everything will be fine! This mantra keeps repeating in the song, with double choruses desperately repeating, ‘need to live with it’.
Even though the track has dark threads to it, it’s more about the need for forgiveness in a relationship and overcoming doubts in ourselves, so that we can learn to trust in others.
