“Funeral Pyre wasn’t actually a song for a long time; it was just something that I kept playing over and over until something finally clicked, and the second half of the song wasn’t something that really got off the ground until I got into the studio and I began to hear it on good monitors. But even when all the instrumentation was done it still felt like it was lacking. I tried to sing on it myself but that didn’t seem to work so I asked KAIAR (Karla) who is a friend of Curtis who produced the track – she came in and nailed it in three takes and that was that!”
