"Creatures (For a While)" on YouTube |
"Creatures (For a While)" is a song by the American rock band 311 from their 2003 album Evolver. The song is the most streamed song on the album on Spotify. [2]
The song had started out with a guitar riff that Hexum had played into a mini recorder he had owned. He asked Tim Mahoney to write a second part, so he gave him a Pro Tools file to see what he was working on. He sent back a funky, bouncy riff that was the bass line. He used the same effects that he used on Champagne. Hexum then proceeded to finish the song during a seven-hour session in his home studio. Martinez wrote some raps that fit with the lyrics of the song, Hexum wanted the bridge to go into a different direction with some swirling synths that were reminiscent of early Pink Floyd music. [3]
The lyric "It's been a wild ride, I wouldn't change a minute" talks about the band's long time making music. [4]
AllMusic said it was Evolver's " Come Original". [5] Punknews said it had a fun chorus with a great bass line in the verses. [6] IGN said it “proves to be a strong start to the album” [4] Sputnik Music said it was “really catchy on this song, as are the lyrics” [7]
The music video, directed by the Malloy Brothers, who previously directed the music video for Amber, shows the band playing the song.
The song was a popular live closer for many 311 tours.
