About this song: Between Two Lungs

This song about a kiss was one of the first songs that she'd ever written and became the prototype for her dark, quirky and intense sound. It came about when Welch was experimenting in a friend's home studio. Instead of playing the drums, she pounded the studio walls with her hands. The fledgling songwriter picked out a melody on the piano even though it wasn't an instrument she knew how to play, and recorded the backing vocals first, before writing the top line. Welch recalled to The Sun February 2, 2009 "When I hear it, I'm hearing myself learning how to make a song, piece by piece.
