A sneak peek from Jack Antonoff's 'Inside The Track' series where he explains how a small spark inspired the song 'The Greatest' by Lana Del Rey.

We’re very proud to present our first video release with songwriter, musician, and record producer Jack Antonoff! In this series, we learn about how the versatile creator got involved in songwriting, recording, and production, and progressed from his analog roots to current approaches and techniques. Antonoff imparts his opinions and philosophy on such vital matters as vocal style vs. lyrics, writing sessions, capturing emotion and space, analog vs. digital equipment, simultaneously writing and producing, committing to takes and sounds, collaboration, sharing a vision, avoiding vocal booths, mixing your own productions, and more. He dives into the multi-track session of ‘The Greatest’ by Lana Del Rey, taking you through the initial guitar chord progression from which the song was developed, early demo material, unusual decisions regarding instrumentation and levels, lyrical arrangement, and a variety of parts that includes acoustic guitars, piano, Mellotron, drums, cellos, synthesisers, vocals, and electric sitar!

As a blind guy who is learning about music videos like this even though I cannot see the screen just listening to Jack talk his craft blows my mind! I wish they were more of these and longer videos by Jack and other producers on how they do what they do loved this video and Jack is so brilliant

I love how there's so many tracks and instruments yet it doesn't sound muddy or messy, every little thing just complements each other. Perfect mix 👌

Jack's use of layers is brilliant. When you have a nice chord structure, it's easy to start to go towards counter melodies, but Jack just layers the same stuff over and over and makes one chord structure out of 10-15 pieces. Also makes his vibe very hard to reverse engineer and steal.

Jack loves that half step between the 5th and 6th notes. It's littered all over his work whenever it just needs that little extra piece to make a simple chord structure a bit more engaging.

the progression of this song feels like a mix of "Yesterday" and "Baby I'm Amazed" VERY McCartney.

I always felt the same about the song, as this kind of lamentation on culture and one's own place in it. the english/royal aspect mixed in with the funeral makes so much sense! love how his mind works... and I would LOVE to have all those little files with each recorded part of this song, those harmonies were divine. This one's my favorite from NFR too.. it really embodies the whole essence of the album imo

Every few months I have to go back and watch all the Jack production videos, glad there's a new one to watch. Although I don't think I could listen to that "english sounding" band as much as he does. Never really caught onto their sound, love it through his lens though!

That’s was so amazing to watch. Jack broke down every possible part of creating a song from start to finish even the exact thought process he was having during is song writing process. For someone whose interested in jack’s music. This is gold! Also, that guitar part he was working on in the beginning is dope. Hope he plays that riff live sometimes.

In a nutshell: have a bunch of instruments replay the melody.

Wow. So complex! It just sounds so harmonic and beautiful, you don't even notice all the layers while you're listening.
