Speaker 4: the Fire, that just released an album called The Forest

00:00:52,973 --> 00:00:56,173
Speaker 4: is the Path and a Stelle Clifford Our Music Review

10
00:00:56,213 --> 00:00:58,653
Speaker 4: has been listening more in a more.

11
00:00:58,533 --> 00:01:01,653
Speaker 3: In the two thousands, are having a real research side

12
00:01:01,653 --> 00:01:02,493
Speaker 3: nearly two thousand.

13
00:01:03,293 --> 00:01:05,813
Speaker 4: Do you know the show is? I'm glad that you've

14
00:01:05,813 --> 00:01:08,053
Speaker 4: picked up on that theme because we were talking before

15
00:01:08,093 --> 00:01:10,933
Speaker 4: about a show from Adam Brody, which I mean like

16
00:01:11,013 --> 00:01:12,453
Speaker 4: turning back the hands of time. I don't know if

17
00:01:12,493 --> 00:01:14,413
Speaker 4: you're an OC fan back in the day, but yeah,

18
00:01:14,493 --> 00:01:17,173
Speaker 4: snow Patrol just feels like we're all watching season one

19
00:01:17,173 --> 00:01:18,413
Speaker 4: of Grays and Animy once again.

20
00:01:20,533 --> 00:01:23,053
Speaker 3: I mean they if they everyone's going to write a

21
00:01:23,133 --> 00:01:26,373
Speaker 3: yearning love song and get some emotions out, then I

22
00:01:26,373 --> 00:01:28,893
Speaker 3: think Snow Patrol. You know, the great thing about this

23
00:01:28,933 --> 00:01:32,613
Speaker 3: album is they haven't deterred from that, and I think

24
00:01:32,613 --> 00:01:34,573
Speaker 3: that's great because that's what I kind of have always

25
00:01:34,653 --> 00:01:37,653
Speaker 3: liked them for and yeah, I mean, no one can

26
00:01:37,693 --> 00:01:40,013
Speaker 3: ever really get that Denny do Ketch scene out of

27
00:01:40,053 --> 00:01:41,973
Speaker 3: their minds for the rest of their lives. Once you've

28
00:01:42,013 --> 00:01:45,693
Speaker 3: seen that on grays Anatime. That song will Just Chasing

29
00:01:45,733 --> 00:01:49,173
Speaker 3: Cars is synonymous with that scene, and I imagine from

30
00:01:49,213 --> 00:01:51,853
Speaker 3: them they're like, will this ever end? No? Because it

31
00:01:51,933 --> 00:01:57,373
Speaker 3: was an incredibly powerful emotional moment. They've stayed in that

32
00:01:57,453 --> 00:01:59,293
Speaker 3: kind of zone too, do you know what I mean? Like,

33
00:01:59,373 --> 00:02:01,853
Speaker 3: so I'll get a little bit deep on your heir.

34
00:02:02,013 --> 00:02:05,373
Speaker 3: Gary Lightbody the lead singer and predominantly writes all the

35
00:02:05,453 --> 00:02:08,293
Speaker 3: lyrics to the music. He said the idea of this

36
00:02:08,373 --> 00:02:12,893
Speaker 3: album comes from looking back on love from the distance

37
00:02:12,933 --> 00:02:16,093
Speaker 3: of time. So like when you're in the moments, you're

38
00:02:16,133 --> 00:02:18,013
Speaker 3: like right there in the moment, and then you know,

39
00:02:18,053 --> 00:02:19,933
Speaker 3: ten years down the track after a brow you can

40
00:02:19,973 --> 00:02:22,413
Speaker 3: kind of remember those moments and the hurt is only

41
00:02:22,453 --> 00:02:23,333
Speaker 3: there once you let.

42
00:02:23,173 --> 00:02:25,733
Speaker 4: Your mind remember, right, Yeah, okay, you know, so.

43
00:02:25,773 --> 00:02:28,413
Speaker 3: Like the rosy glow about a relationship where you're like, oh,

44
00:02:28,453 --> 00:02:31,693
Speaker 3: actually there was also tragedy and amongst all their beauty,

45
00:02:32,413 --> 00:02:33,973
Speaker 3: so kind of looking he said he was sort of

46
00:02:33,973 --> 00:02:37,933
Speaker 3: reflective on his perhaps mistakes, maybe hurt that he caused,

47
00:02:38,013 --> 00:02:41,533
Speaker 3: but from a distance of time where you sort of

48
00:02:41,533 --> 00:02:43,493
Speaker 3: have to allow yourself to go back somewhere to be

49
00:02:43,533 --> 00:02:46,253
Speaker 3: honest with yourself about whether or not you hurt somebody, right,

50
00:02:46,893 --> 00:02:49,853
Speaker 3: And again there's more yearning for love, which he's been

51
00:02:49,893 --> 00:02:52,293
Speaker 3: real honest, he hasn't been in a long term relationship

52
00:02:52,293 --> 00:02:55,173
Speaker 3: for like a decade or whatever, so I guess from

53
00:02:55,173 --> 00:02:57,453
Speaker 3: his perspective he has a lot of reflection to kind

54
00:02:57,453 --> 00:03:01,373
Speaker 3: of go back on. They actually ended up working with

55
00:03:01,733 --> 00:03:05,653
Speaker 3: the same producer who's worked with Adell Gorillas and Lily

56
00:03:05,853 --> 00:03:08,573
Speaker 3: Allen Phraser T Smith. So they'd got to this point

57
00:03:08,573 --> 00:03:11,533
Speaker 3: in the album where they'd written these songs. One of

58
00:03:11,573 --> 00:03:14,133
Speaker 3: the band mates had challenged, like body to just write

59
00:03:14,173 --> 00:03:16,253
Speaker 3: the lyrics right there on the spot and don't change anything,

60
00:03:16,373 --> 00:03:17,573
Speaker 3: like just trust your instincts.

61
00:03:17,653 --> 00:03:19,133
Speaker 4: Yeah, and like yeah, cool.

62
00:03:19,173 --> 00:03:22,213
Speaker 3: So they had these really awesome writing sessions and making songs,

63
00:03:22,213 --> 00:03:25,373
Speaker 3: but then it just couldn't They couldn't get it somewhere else.

64
00:03:25,493 --> 00:03:27,293
Speaker 3: Yeah yeah, you know, like I don't know how to

65
00:03:27,293 --> 00:03:29,013
Speaker 3: get it from somewhere else. So they get the help

66
00:03:29,053 --> 00:03:32,013
Speaker 3: of that producer and then I think, you know, a

67
00:03:32,053 --> 00:03:34,773
Speaker 3: solid album has come out of that staying true to

68
00:03:34,813 --> 00:03:36,533
Speaker 3: what it is that they're really good on. There's a

69
00:03:36,533 --> 00:03:39,213
Speaker 3: few more F bombs throughout this album to really emphasize

70
00:03:39,213 --> 00:03:42,853
Speaker 3: their frustration, which thanks to producer Livery, you've managed to

71
00:03:42,853 --> 00:03:46,213
Speaker 3: find some nice radio edits. But you know the thing

72
00:03:46,213 --> 00:03:47,653
Speaker 3: when you listen to an album and you kind of

73
00:03:47,693 --> 00:03:51,973
Speaker 3: just get taken away with someone's emotions and I and

74
00:03:52,093 --> 00:03:54,533
Speaker 3: perhaps anger towards some of the stuff, so you kind

75
00:03:54,533 --> 00:03:57,213
Speaker 3: of almost don't hear it. So yeah, fortunately I did

76
00:03:57,213 --> 00:03:58,933
Speaker 3: before I made you play all those F bomb songs.

77
00:03:58,933 --> 00:04:02,493
Speaker 3: But yeah, really, really I like the different approach to writing.

78
00:04:02,533 --> 00:04:06,693
Speaker 3: I think it's made the lyrics really vulnerable and still

79
00:04:06,693 --> 00:04:08,773
Speaker 3: with this really cool like some of the songs had

80
00:04:08,773 --> 00:04:11,773
Speaker 3: that real marching band kind of drum sounds which just

81
00:04:12,213 --> 00:04:15,453
Speaker 3: catapults and energy. There's lots of songs I'm like, oh,

82
00:04:15,453 --> 00:04:17,853
Speaker 3: I played live, this is gonna be one of those.

83
00:04:17,893 --> 00:04:22,453
Speaker 3: Everyone's all the bodies are swaying, everyone's singing along, And

84
00:04:22,493 --> 00:04:24,933
Speaker 3: they've stayed with that whole thing they do where they

85
00:04:24,973 --> 00:04:28,013
Speaker 3: write kind of a soft intro and it builds into

86
00:04:28,013 --> 00:04:31,053
Speaker 3: this massive chorus where you know the lights will go

87
00:04:31,173 --> 00:04:34,173
Speaker 3: crazy at the big stage show and you can feel

88
00:04:34,173 --> 00:04:36,413
Speaker 3: their energy behind it. So I think they've always done

89
00:04:36,453 --> 00:04:40,053
Speaker 3: these sort of quite a motive Demi de Quette kind

90
00:04:40,093 --> 00:04:44,053
Speaker 3: of dying songs. But but there's a beauty behind them

91
00:04:44,093 --> 00:04:46,453
Speaker 3: in the musicality, I think because they are cliping musicians

92
00:04:46,493 --> 00:04:49,133
Speaker 3: and they're good at what they do. So yeah, lots

93
00:04:49,173 --> 00:04:50,893
Speaker 3: of ebbs and flows, and I think that if you

94
00:04:50,973 --> 00:04:53,653
Speaker 3: are a Snow Patrol fan, you're gonna love pretty much

95
00:04:53,653 --> 00:04:56,493
Speaker 3: every song, and there's something sort of different musically in

96
00:04:56,533 --> 00:04:59,613
Speaker 3: each of the songs. If you're new to Snow Patrol,

97
00:04:59,733 --> 00:05:01,933
Speaker 3: probably not Chasing Cars has been like a massive radio

98
00:05:01,933 --> 00:05:05,333
Speaker 3: play for years, so yeah, you'll get more, You'll you'll

99
00:05:05,373 --> 00:05:07,693
Speaker 3: be familiar with it, and like that if you're if

100
00:05:07,693 --> 00:05:09,493
Speaker 3: you're a band that's been around for a long time,

101
00:05:09,773 --> 00:05:12,213
Speaker 3: I want you to still have the body of what

102
00:05:12,253 --> 00:05:14,253
Speaker 3: you gave me when you're a huge you know what

103
00:05:14,253 --> 00:05:15,773
Speaker 3: I mean, Like we're first out and you're huge.

104
00:05:15,813 --> 00:05:17,773
Speaker 4: I mean, it's interesting, it's interesting to me that they're

105
00:05:17,813 --> 00:05:20,173
Speaker 4: I mean, it's being huge. Like I was a bit

106
00:05:20,253 --> 00:05:23,533
Speaker 4: surprised they went to number one, not not not having

107
00:05:23,573 --> 00:05:25,613
Speaker 4: listened to the album at all, like just kind of regardless,

108
00:05:25,653 --> 00:05:26,893
Speaker 4: it sort of felt that you know like it was

109
00:05:26,933 --> 00:05:28,893
Speaker 4: a maybe it is the kind of nostalgia thing. I

110
00:05:28,933 --> 00:05:29,213
Speaker 4: don't know.

111
00:05:29,333 --> 00:05:30,893
Speaker 3: I think it's a bit of that. I think there's

112
00:05:30,933 --> 00:05:33,693
Speaker 3: also a bigger fanship than you realize. Sometimes you need

113
00:05:33,733 --> 00:05:36,613
Speaker 3: that easy pop rock like there's nothing to it's not

114
00:05:36,693 --> 00:05:39,253
Speaker 3: gonna shake you to the core, and there's nothing to

115
00:05:39,893 --> 00:05:43,093
Speaker 3: conflict about it. But when you get into the songs,

116
00:05:43,133 --> 00:05:45,653
Speaker 3: they just stick like they've got this real ability for

117
00:05:45,693 --> 00:05:49,333
Speaker 3: their melodies to it's easy to join in with what's

118
00:05:49,373 --> 00:05:51,453
Speaker 3: going on. And I think sometimes we just want music

119
00:05:51,493 --> 00:05:52,253
Speaker 3: to be that easy.

120
00:05:52,413 --> 00:05:54,653
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, nice to listen.

121
00:05:54,453 --> 00:05:56,133
Speaker 3: To, except if you if bombs so just you know,

122
00:05:56,213 --> 00:05:57,893
Speaker 3: if the kids smash that out while you listen to

123
00:05:57,933 --> 00:05:58,773
Speaker 3: it in the car, that is.

124
00:05:58,693 --> 00:05:59,053
Speaker 2: What it is.

125
00:05:59,253 --> 00:06:01,573
Speaker 4: Very good. Okay, hey, thank you? What'd you give it?

126
00:06:01,773 --> 00:06:03,373
