Listening 29 00:01:22,080 --> 00:01:25,080 Speaker 2: to this in Dallas, Okay. But listening to the radio 30 00:01:25,200 --> 00:01:26,559 Speaker 2: was you know, I was a lonely kid and listening 31 00:01:26,560 --> 00:01:30,440 Speaker 2: to these songs that sound very much like you say. 32 00:01:30,319 --> 00:01:31,080 Speaker 3: A lonely kid. 33 00:01:31,160 --> 00:01:33,040 Speaker 1: I was a lonely kid only kid, so radio was 34 00:01:33,080 --> 00:01:33,640 Speaker 1: my best friend. 35 00:01:33,680 --> 00:01:34,080 Speaker 3: There you go. 36 00:01:34,120 --> 00:01:36,640 Speaker 2: Therefore, I understand the music was my best friend, and 37 00:01:37,600 --> 00:01:39,200 Speaker 2: I have a feeling the rest of this album is 38 00:01:39,240 --> 00:01:42,039 Speaker 2: going to tap into some moments from my life that 39 00:01:42,200 --> 00:01:43,360 Speaker 2: I miss a lot. 40 00:01:43,600 --> 00:01:46,320 Speaker 1: And uh, did you have fun putting this album together? 41 00:01:46,800 --> 00:01:47,480 Speaker 3: So much fun? 42 00:01:47,680 --> 00:01:50,360 Speaker 2: And was it a part of your the childhood influences 43 00:01:50,360 --> 00:01:53,279 Speaker 2: for music that influenced you to steer it a certain direction. 44 00:01:53,440 --> 00:01:55,400 Speaker 3: I mean, all the music I've ever made is from 45 00:01:55,440 --> 00:01:59,160 Speaker 3: what I've learned and listened to, as you say, but 46 00:01:59,240 --> 00:02:03,279 Speaker 3: I feel like this record is sort of the record 47 00:02:03,360 --> 00:02:06,960 Speaker 3: I didn't make as a teenager. So before I Let 48 00:02:06,960 --> 00:02:10,000 Speaker 3: Love Rule, which was eighty nine my first album, I 49 00:02:10,040 --> 00:02:13,240 Speaker 3: was making music and none of that stuff ever came out. 50 00:02:13,639 --> 00:02:16,839 Speaker 3: And as I started making this record, I realized, I said, 51 00:02:16,840 --> 00:02:18,840 Speaker 3: this really is reminiscent of what I was doing in 52 00:02:18,919 --> 00:02:24,000 Speaker 3: high school. So somehow that spirit from that time was released. 53 00:02:24,600 --> 00:02:27,920 Speaker 3: And I think it's because I had written this book 54 00:02:27,960 --> 00:02:30,360 Speaker 3: called Letlove Rule that came out beginning of the pandemic 55 00:02:30,800 --> 00:02:33,760 Speaker 3: about my life from birth to basically the first album 56 00:02:33,760 --> 00:02:36,600 Speaker 3: to twenty four years old, and I spent so much 57 00:02:36,639 --> 00:02:40,760 Speaker 3: time diving into my teenage years, which I hadn't really 58 00:02:41,720 --> 00:02:44,359 Speaker 3: thought about in such a long time. And I think 59 00:02:44,400 --> 00:02:47,400 Speaker 3: that was just released and it came into the music 60 00:02:48,040 --> 00:02:51,919 Speaker 3: and this record is it's that vibe. So there's it's 61 00:02:51,960 --> 00:02:55,560 Speaker 3: always fun, but there's a lot of sort of youthful 62 00:02:55,639 --> 00:02:58,880 Speaker 3: joy in this album. 63 00:02:58,919 --> 00:03:01,919 Speaker 2: So from deep within your soul, this thing came out 64 00:03:01,919 --> 00:03:03,440 Speaker 2: and you didn't even know it as you were. 65 00:03:03,760 --> 00:03:06,040 Speaker 3: No, it just put in depends that paper. That's the beauty. 66 00:03:06,160 --> 00:03:07,760 Speaker 3: I never know what I'm going to do.

Because 193 00:08:15,640 --> 00:08:18,000 Speaker 3: I didn't do that when I was coming up, when 194 00:08:18,000 --> 00:08:21,000 Speaker 3: I was much younger, I was always moving so fast 195 00:08:21,720 --> 00:08:26,080 Speaker 3: and looking forward to what was coming next. I didn't 196 00:08:26,520 --> 00:08:29,240 Speaker 3: take the time to enjoy those moments. 197 00:08:29,680 --> 00:08:32,360 Speaker 2: So you arrived on this planet with this torch which 198 00:08:32,400 --> 00:08:35,839 Speaker 2: was brightly lit, and a lot of people who love 199 00:08:35,920 --> 00:08:40,560 Speaker 2: to create. Sometimes the torch dims, Sometimes the light becomes 200 00:08:40,559 --> 00:08:43,800 Speaker 2: a little more faint, and so you have to recognize 201 00:08:43,800 --> 00:08:46,079 Speaker 2: that and blow on it to make it glow again. 202 00:08:46,840 --> 00:08:49,400 Speaker 2: Do you find times that where your torch is a 203 00:08:49,400 --> 00:08:52,280 Speaker 2: little dim and then but you know you can pick 204 00:08:52,320 --> 00:08:54,200 Speaker 2: it up, you have full confidence. What do you do 205 00:08:54,280 --> 00:08:55,559 Speaker 2: to like relight your torch? 206 00:08:56,000 --> 00:08:56,480 Speaker 3: What is it? 207 00:08:56,840 --> 00:08:58,720 Speaker 2: If ever you're finding a day work? God, I feel 208 00:08:58,720 --> 00:09:00,960 Speaker 2: like I want to create today, but something stuck in there. 209 00:09:01,000 --> 00:09:02,960 Speaker 2: I can't get it out. Is there anything you do? 210 00:09:03,080 --> 00:09:06,360 Speaker 3: Just get quiet? You know, when I'm in the Bahamas, 211 00:09:06,360 --> 00:09:08,520 Speaker 3: which is you know, where one of the places where 212 00:09:08,559 --> 00:09:12,440 Speaker 3: I live and where my mother's family is from, that 213 00:09:12,520 --> 00:09:16,320 Speaker 3: place is really great to put your feet on the ground, 214 00:09:17,000 --> 00:09:19,679 Speaker 3: be in the middle of nature, the water, and it 215 00:09:20,080 --> 00:09:23,440 Speaker 3: replenishes you. It feeds you. So when you're not feeling 216 00:09:23,760 --> 00:09:27,760 Speaker 3: something or you feel a lack thereof just get quiet 217 00:09:27,800 --> 00:09:29,920 Speaker 3: and be in nature and be around people that you 218 00:09:29,960 --> 00:09:33,000 Speaker 3: can laugh with and just chill and cook food and 219 00:09:33,120 --> 00:09:37,199 Speaker 3: laugh and talk. And that works for me. Do you cook? Yeah? Yeah, 220 00:09:37,280 --> 00:09:38,920 Speaker 3: I love it? Yeah, Oh wow. I don't do it 221 00:09:38,960 --> 00:09:41,160 Speaker 3: that often, but when I do it more when I'm 222 00:09:41,200 --> 00:09:42,280 Speaker 3: in the Bahamas. 223 00:09:42,760 --> 00:09:43,840 Speaker 1: You feel inspired there. 224 00:09:44,240 --> 00:09:46,880 Speaker 3: And also there's just not that much you know, to 225 00:09:46,960 --> 00:09:49,200 Speaker 3: get you know, you have to kind of do your 226 00:09:49,240 --> 00:09:52,920 Speaker 3: own thing. But I find that it relaxes me and 227 00:09:53,000 --> 00:09:55,960 Speaker 3: it takes you away from things you might be thinking 228 00:09:55,960 --> 00:09:57,679 Speaker 3: about that you need to take a break from. 229 00:09:57,679 --> 00:09:59,960 Speaker 2: We should take Lendy's advice and go to the Bahama 230 00:10:00,080 --> 00:10:02,600 Speaker 2: and recharge, but we'll end up to casino at Atlantis. 231 00:10:04,000 --> 00:10:05,440 Speaker 1: Does that do it for you? Get it drunk and 232 00:10:05,480 --> 00:10:08,160 Speaker 1: spinding it that lazy river. 233 00:10:08,400 --> 00:10:12,280 Speaker 2: That's where I'm going to find myself at Atlantis. I 234 00:10:12,360 --> 00:10:13,880 Speaker 2: gotta play a human. I want to play this song. 235 00:10:13,920 --> 00:10:16,880 Speaker 2: I want everyone to know. Here's the problem with me 236 00:10:16,960 --> 00:10:18,440 Speaker 2: playing it now. You may not have a copy of 237 00:10:18,440 --> 00:10:22,000 Speaker 2: it on your own. The second and third and fourth 238 00:10:22,080 --> 00:10:25,920 Speaker 2: listen is even more spectacular. This song just takes me 239 00:10:26,160 --> 00:10:28,760 Speaker 2: to a place that I can't really describe, which I 240 00:10:28,840 --> 00:10:31,760 Speaker 2: think I like. I think it's best not being able 241 00:10:31,800 --> 00:10:34,880 Speaker 2: to identify what it is that hits the nerve. But 242 00:10:35,160 --> 00:10:38,080 Speaker 2: the album, of course, May twenty fourth is the whole 243 00:10:38,120 --> 00:10:41,360 Speaker 2: album sort of lots of cow bells and fun and. 244 00:10:41,280 --> 00:10:43,880 Speaker 3: It's all over the place. There's all kinds of sounds 245 00:10:44,000 --> 00:10:47,000 Speaker 3: on it, but it has that spirit. It's a it's 246 00:10:47,000 --> 00:10:49,240 Speaker 3: a celebration.
