“You and I is a very unique song on the record for us, and it is one of the oldest creations on the album. The song first originated in a home studio up in the Dandenong Ranges in late 2011. Sean Kenihan (Moog) and Zach were left to their own devices up there one day with some studio equipment and the whole first half of the tune came together really quickly, quirky synth solo and all.
Unlike the previous two songs on the album, this one was then progressed totally in the studio, all programmed beats, synths and vocals. The song is clearly about a breakup or a lost love. I can’t recall if Zach was going through something similar at the time, but the spontaneous emotion in the lyrics really held the demo together from the start.
No matter what we did, even with all the pro recording gear we could source, we couldn’t seem to catch the same conviction that vocal performance has.”
