HAIM – “LOST TRACK”
“‘I will never get back what I have lost sight of.’ We had this line written last year, but we could never figure out what to do with it,” Haim write. “We kept writing him, not knowing where he should live. Cut to PTA shooting the director’s number for @wmag with our little sister on the cover! An opportunity arose to do a quick musical component during the filming of the story. Paul mentioned having the book See you in Samarra as possible direction. So we dug into the book and took inspiration from the scene where the main character throws a drink in someone’s face at a country club. We were inspired by the idea of someone doing something so drastic to get out of a situation they felt uncomfortable in – just to feel something. We finally remembered those lyrics and wrote and recorded the song and shot it all in a matter of days! Either way, it was fun to do something very collaborative/improvised.”

The wonderful news is that over two years later, Noble is still here with us! He’s beaten so many odds already and continues to amaze us and prove to us just how incredibly strong he is.
