Co-producer Hedges and Robert Smith knew \"A Forest\" would take more work to complete than other songs on the album, and would require more overdubs. The song was one of the last tracks recorded; the backing tracks were recorded first, followed by touch-ups to the individual parts, then Smith's vocals. Fiction Records owner Chris Parry told Smith that the song had the potential to be a hit if they made it sound \"radio friendly,\" but Smith refused, stating that the way the track sounded was the sound he envisioned in his head, dismissing concerns about radio friendliness. Work on mixing \"A Forest\" took up much of the final day of sessions for the album. https://bit.ly/29TtyK1", "location": 1, "location_name": "Default", "play_type": "trackplay" }
