Studio footage is the holy grail for music fans. Watching an artist build a song from scratch — layering tracks, debating arrangements, experimenting with sounds — is as close as you can get to witnessing the creative act itself. These clips pull back the curtain on recordings that millions of people know by heart, showing the work, the accidents, and the decisions that made them what they are.
