But I don't think in that moment, when he's writing the pilot script, he's like, okay.
Rebecca's going to say forever now.
The reverse engineering of itself is magic. And that's what's the magic of the show is that we allowed sort of these ideas, whatever they may be, like Dan allows the creativity to sort of like to blossom in its own sort of way. Do your thing, do your thing, do your thing. And we will find ways to, they will have a purpose later on in some way. They work out in their own sort of way.
It's just there's so much trust involved in the whole process. And then it was an organic thing that built over time. So I remember first in how I wrote that theme. Amy and I, my wife Amy, we'd gone away on a trip. I forgot where we were. Mexico or somewhere. Okay. And I brought my guitar with me. This is back in the day when I would actually bring my guitar on vacation with me. Not anymore?
Not anymore. With the kids, it just stops. Absolutely. So much stuff stops. And this is right when the show got picked up to series. I was sitting on the beach and I played this thing over and over again. With this guitar? With this guitar.
Right before this got picked up to series, I was in Vermont. My wife is from Vermont. And we went into some antique store.
Got some syrup. At the cash register. Yeah, at the cash register. Keep it all.
different grade options that's right dark light dark light yeah yeah I'm just I always would look for instruments at any of these places because inevitably somebody leaves something that they think is like crappy and or it probably is and and and it's for sale and I see this guitar the one I'm holding right now it's a silver tone and it was on sale for like 25 bucks yeah is it 25 or 50 somewhere around there
I think it was actually, no, sorry, I think it was 50. And it was like beaten up. And if you look, if I turn this around, if you see there's a crack on the back. Okay. There's a crack here. Straight up the back. And this is not, it's not in good shape. And I started playing it and I was like, this has got a vibe and I like the vibe of it. And I was like, okay.
I'm just going to keep this and I get it. It's like a cheap guitar. And this ended up becoming the guitar for the entire show, for the score. Because it just had these dead strings that had not been changed for 10 years. And I still haven't changed these strings. These strings are the original strings from when I bought the guitar. No way. So now they're probably like 16, 17 years old.
That dead sound, the strings, is coming from those same strings. I've not changed these strings once. Wow. So I brought this with me on a trip to Mexico.
And I remember as a joke, I was always like, I grew up on those 80s theme songs.
You know? We all did, right?
And I remember just sitting there as a joke and be like, the first thing that came to me was...
I would do this as a joke, and Amy would be like, shut up.
And I was like, as a joke, I'd be like, can you imagine if this is like, we go straight up, like, you know, and all of a sudden it's like, you see you guys at freeze frame.
So it actually started off as a joke. I was just sitting and I was like, this had, also I tuned this guitar in a way, this is not standard tuning. This is not your normal sort of E-A-D-G, whatever, B-E. But this is in a Nick Drake, Joni Mitchell-ish tuning.
So that's why... It has this like ring that is like, the voicings are different than you would normally hear. And because in my mind, I was also trying to think about Joni Mitchell. I was thinking about Nick Drake, Sufjan Stevens, all these artists were- For any musical people listening, what is the tuning? I don't even know. Great. Yeah. So take that, musical people listening. I don't even know.
That's all it was. Here are the notes. Somebody wants to steal them, go. That's it. Beautiful.
This is when I was on the beach. This is us. So I kept it over and over again for like three days. And I was like, and I've recorded it on my phone. I remember thinking this was something and I sent it to Dan, but not with the, this is us. Sure, sure, sure, sure. You kept that off. I kept that off because I was like, he's going to be like, what are you doing? And he's like, that's great.
