Washington, D.C. rockers Wings Denied just released their new album "Just The Basics," and to celebrate we asked guitarist Zach Dresher to tell us about the song "Saudade". Here is the story: Unlike some Wings Denied songs that have come together as quickly as in an afternoon, Saudade took almost five years. I first wrote what would become the intro melody and verse riffs around the same time that we had finished recording Voyager in 2015; I had been playing around with the idea of a bouncy triplet melody that ended short of a full measure, allowing it to turn around on the offbeat and make a simple groove more interesting. Outside of that section though, nothing else fit the mood I was going for, and it sat as an unfinished Guitar Pro file for ages, until one night maybe two years later when I wrote the chord progression that would ultimately lead the entire middle section of the song.

I listen to a lot of post rock, and I had bought a used Spector 5 string bass on craigslist around that time, and I really wanted to create a section entirely led by a bass groove that built up over several repetitions. The original demos for that section of Saudade were entirely different, though the groove remained unchanged, the drums were originally a lot busier and I had originally intended it to be a big instrumental break with no vocals until the distorted guitars came back in.
