Bobby Long: "We used to write our songs on the roof. It was Mary Poppins high up,"

From celebuzz.com:

Musician Bobby Long remembers a very different Robert Pattinson than the actor and object of global female attention.

Long remembers the anonymous Pattinson from his Soho, London period when the still-struggling actor was doing his best to write great songs with his mates—like Bobby and Marcus Foster—until all hours of the morning.

"Robert lived in a dingy, horrible, little flat in Soho near Denmark Street," Long recalls to Celebuzz. "We used to hang out and play music until five in the morning, really going for it. Drinking and all that stuff."

"We only ate pizza for like two months. We ballooned on weight," Long recalls. "But it probably helped the vampire look. I know I was really pale."

"It was really chilled-out. Watching films, listening to music and writing."

Chilled-out except for the danger element, since the group also hung out on the steeply pitched building rooftop. "We used to write our songs on the roof. It was Mary Poppins high up," says Long. "We were on ledges eating pizza. Our music was drowned out by taxis and buses."

"Looking back now it is funny how dangerous it was."

Long says he wasn't truly even aware Pattinson was an actor after meeting him at an open-mic night. "I thought he was a musician like myself just struggling through. A student like me," Long says. "I didn't know he was an actor."

"Twilight" comes

As the friendship grew, the acting connections worked out well for all the musicians when Pattinson returned to London after shooting Twilight. Long and Foster played a song they had written called "Let Me Sign" in Pattinson's apartment. It was nothing serious. "We were kind of just mucking around with it," says Long.

"(Robert) thought the song was really cool and took it to L.A.," Long recalls. "Before I knew it, it was going to be used in the film."

Although Long and Foster had written a "country" song about love, the lyrics about signing away one's soul to a woman lent themselves perfectly to undead love (for example, "Damned by the light coming out of her eyes"). That was not the intention going in, Long insists. "But if I tried to write a vampire song, I could not have done it as well as that."

The song was famously performed by Pattinson in the film. Long was able to see the emotional impact first-hand when he heard the song at the London Twilight premiere. "Everyone was crying during the song," he says. "I feel like it's his song now. He's incredible at interpreting people's work."

The unexpected blessing of the Twilight success has led to Long's greater introduction to the global music scene and his first musical tour in the US next month (as well a planned US tour for the summer).

But he still thinks fondly of the Pattinson Soho days. Long reflected on them again, when he shot a video for his new song "Left To Lie" atop a Soho roof. "All the memories came flooding back at that time," says Long.

"And it was equally as dangerous."

Little Ashes Behind The Scenes and translation

You see little snippets of Rob but the Spanish actors are the ones being interviewed so it is all in Spanish. If someone wants to translate anything important and or pertaining to Rob and post it in the comments section that would be wonderful.

Translation thanks to Brittany from tMF and Little Ashes Promotional Blitz we now have the translation.
Javier Beltrán- The character I interpret is Federico Garcia Lorca, one of the most important poets that has ever lived in Spain and well, he is one of those poets that is very welcoming for an actor for all the things that the character can offer and also a very challenging character. We don’t have any audiovisual document in which the actor, I, can base on, to see how he talked, how he moved. Still with all his work, his poems its enough to make a proper interpretation of what the poet, Federico Garcia Lorca was. What has been more challenging for me is when I stop and think about who I am interpreting, the world comes tumbling down. Its Federico Garcia Lorca, the poet that the Franco Regime assassinated, and from there he becomes a myth, a legend. That is what has been more difficult for me. I have always tried to make him human, a young poet, with an extraordinary sensibility and from there, I start creating. trying to dilute the myth because if I don’t my world comes tumbling down and if I start thinking “I’m playing Lorca, I’m playing Lorca, I’m playing Lorca” at the end I collapse.



Marina Gatell- I interpret a character named Magdalena but she is based on Margarita Manso. It’s a character that historically coexisted with the generation of... well in the school where Buñuel and Lorca studied. She was very much in love with Lorca... I don’t know, its like a character I think that is useful and fascinating in history so the good guys won’t be too good and the bad guys won’t be that bad. I think it’s a screenplay about making detrimental decisions in the life of these well known artists and she is a little influential in getting them to touch the ground and at the same time make them dream more.
