And really it started as a conversation. 30 00:01:03,920 --> 00:01:06,279 Speaker 4: We sat down with some friends of ours, Jimmy Robbins 31 00:01:06,319 --> 00:01:08,720 Speaker 4: and David Hodges, and we're just talking about a friend 32 00:01:08,760 --> 00:01:11,520 Speaker 4: of ours that we lost to suicide. And it's a 33 00:01:11,640 --> 00:01:14,360 Speaker 4: very difficult topic, I know, to bring up. It's a 34 00:01:14,440 --> 00:01:17,120 Speaker 4: very heavy, heavy subject, but we felt like it was 35 00:01:17,360 --> 00:01:18,760 Speaker 4: a thing that we needed to say. We had to 36 00:01:18,959 --> 00:01:20,880 Speaker 4: had to finish that song that day, and it was 37 00:01:21,160 --> 00:01:23,679 Speaker 4: it trually just came out in conversation and when we 38 00:01:23,720 --> 00:01:26,000 Speaker 4: finished the song, we had no idea, but it turns 39 00:01:26,000 --> 00:01:27,920 Speaker 4: out that it was it was our friend's birthday that 40 00:01:28,040 --> 00:01:29,920 Speaker 4: day when we write a song, and we had no 41 00:01:30,040 --> 00:01:33,120 Speaker 4: idea when we had started writing it, and we just 42 00:01:33,200 --> 00:01:35,880 Speaker 4: knew that that song was was meant to happen that day. 43 00:01:35,880 --> 00:01:36,080 Speaker 2: It was. 44 00:01:36,160 --> 00:01:37,600 Speaker 4: It just kind of came out in the room, and 45 00:01:37,880 --> 00:01:40,160 Speaker 4: you know, if this saves one person's life, it was 46 00:01:40,200 --> 00:01:43,200 Speaker 4: worth all of it. We struggle a lot of times, 47 00:01:43,280 --> 00:01:47,000 Speaker 4: especially as men, to speak about the things that we're 48 00:01:47,000 --> 00:01:49,080 Speaker 4: going through and to tell our friends, like, hey, I'm 49 00:01:49,120 --> 00:01:51,720 Speaker 4: going through a tough time, right now, and I think 50 00:01:51,760 --> 00:01:53,200 Speaker 4: that this song is going to bring a lot of 51 00:01:53,560 --> 00:01:55,600 Speaker 4: hope to people, you know, and like I said, it's 52 00:01:55,600 --> 00:01:57,720 Speaker 4: going to start a lot of conversations, you know, with 53 00:01:57,720 --> 00:02:00,000 Speaker 4: with people and in getting to say like, hey, it's 54 00:02:00,040 --> 00:02:01,600 Speaker 4: it's all right to say something, you know, if you're 55 00:02:01,600 --> 00:02:04,400 Speaker 4: going through something difficult, talk about it with somebody.

That's that's always been 63 00:02:21,680 --> 00:02:25,360 Speaker 4: the case in my life, and it's it's just a 64 00:02:25,520 --> 00:02:28,720 Speaker 4: very timely message for people. I know, there's a lot 65 00:02:28,720 --> 00:02:30,760 Speaker 4: of people struggling in the world is crazy, and we 66 00:02:30,840 --> 00:02:32,799 Speaker 4: just want to know that let people know that there's 67 00:02:32,800 --> 00:02:35,200 Speaker 4: always somebody to talk to and someone there on the 68 00:02:35,200 --> 00:02:36,080 Speaker 4: other end of the line. 69 00:02:36,240 --> 00:02:39,640 Speaker 1: Can we just say that we are uber super sorry 70 00:02:39,680 --> 00:02:42,600 Speaker 1: to hear about the whole situation with your friend. 71 00:02:42,800 --> 00:02:45,880 Speaker 3: Oh thank you.
