Track 6: Like To Watch
Billy: As I said before, Daisy and I didn't really start writing music together again until after Nicky left, but that doesn't mean I didn't try to write before then. One day, when we were in the middle of writing the second album, the band had a rare day off but Cami wasn't supposed to fly in for another few days, so Daisy and I decided to spend the day driving around and writing.
Daisy: We stopped for burgers and decided to eat them outside in a park on a picnic table. We had traded notebooks with each other, looking for inspiration for another song when I came across just a couple of random words in his notepad that stood out to me. I asked what they were.
Billy: When we were still fighting, I think it was the night she OD'd actually, I saw her snorting coke backstage. She saw me looking and marched right up to me—high as a kite—and said, "I see you still like to watch."
Daisy: I don't remember saying that but it does sound like something I would say when I was coked up and angry.
Billy: It pissed me off at the time. But what she said was also kind of…seductive…suggestive…sexy? I don't know. The words just stuck with me, so I wrote them down.
Daisy: We were dealing with a lot of demons back then, but I guess that works for a Sophomore album. It's a chance to dig deeper, show the fans that you weren't just a flash in the pan–there's some real depth to what you have to offer.
Billy: Daisy dug the idea of writing a song around those words. It was going to be a song about temptation. About wanting something even though you know it will destroy you.
Daisy: What can I say, I'm my own muse I guess.
Billy: We had a couple of lines written before it started to get dark out.
Daisy: We could barely see what we were writing but we just kept plugging away. I don't think either one of us wanted to stop.
Billy: It started to get cold and she was always just in these little shorts and thin tank tops. I took off my shirt, I had a t-shirt underneath it, maybe it was a jacket, and I draped it over her shoulders, and she said, "What's this for?" and I said, "You looked cold." And she said, "Oh, thanks," and slipped her arms through the sleeves.
Daisy: It smelled like him. I liked it.
Billy: We kept writing the song and the more we wrote it, based on something Daisy said when she was in the throes of her addiction, I felt like what had happened earlier on the tour just got to be a bigger and bigger elephant in the room.
Daisy: I could tell something was bothering Billy and I told him, "I'm okay with writing about this you know," and Billy said, "What? What are you writing about?" and I said, "Nicky."
Billy: That's not what I remember her saying she was writing about.
Daisy: He asked why I ever married Nicky in the first place. Honestly, looking back on it all, it was a fair question. It was hard to explain it without spilling my guts to him.
Billy: She said she never really had a family, never really had anyone in her corner before, and Nicky had promised to be that for her.
Daisy: I had thought The Six were my family, and maybe they were, they had certainly hurt me like my family had. Billy humiliated me in that Rolling Stone article. I know I said stuff I shouldn't have either, but I was high when I said it, you know? Like it shouldn't have counted against me as much as it did.
Billy, he knew exactly what he was doing when he talked to that reporter. Knew exactly what to say to dig the knife in nice and deep. I didn't want to go back at all. I thought I was done with The Six. But Simone and Nicky convinced me to go back, and Nicky promised to be on my side–to protect me. I had never had that before. I wasn't used to being cared for in a way that made me feel…cherished.
Obviously that all turned out to be a load of crap.
Billy: I don't think Daisy ever realized just how strong she was.
Daisy: I knew I was strong. I knew I could make it on my own, I'd been alone my whole life. That doesn't mean I didn't want to be cared for.
Billy: The problem was Daisy never wanted any help ever.
Daisy: Billy had a way of making his help seem like charity. I wasn't interested in charity.
Billy: Daisy had been sitting on top of the table and just laid back, looked up at the stars, and sighed.
I remember looking over at her, seeing her profile in the moonlight, and thinking who would be dumb enough to have this woman's heart in their hands and do something as stupid as squash it? Who would be dumb enough to leave her side when she needed them?
Then she turned her head to me and said, "I think I said that thing to you about liking to watch because I get it. I like to watch too."
Daisy: I told him I understood why he watched me snort the coke. It must have been hard for him to be around the temptation of drugs all the time and not participate. Knowing exactly what you want but not being able to have it…it's a specific type of torture and I was familiar with it.
Billy: She said, "I think that's why I watch you and Camila when you're together. She has exactly what I want…someone who cares about her. Someone who'd fight for her." And that made me feel…sad.
Daisy: And then, because he was terrible with apologies, he said, "I don't think your talent is wasted on you." And I laughed because…I don't know why I laughed. Maybe at that point I just needed a good laugh.
Billy: "Like To Watch" was supposed to be a sexy, bluesy tune—kind of like "More Fun To Miss." Something that would really show off Daisy's vocal talent. I knew the fans would've loved it.
