I can't save them all. 582 00:26:14,600 --> 00:26:17,360 Speaker 1: But I do think that if people can't, you know, 583 00:26:17,840 --> 00:26:19,800 Speaker 1: if they're not in a position to go adopt a dog, 584 00:26:19,880 --> 00:26:22,959 Speaker 1: or they're not in a position to you know, volunteer 585 00:26:23,640 --> 00:26:25,720 Speaker 1: for ten hours a week. It's like just one hour 586 00:26:25,760 --> 00:26:28,200 Speaker 1: of your time a week, like can change the entire 587 00:26:28,240 --> 00:26:32,880 Speaker 1: trajectory of a dog's path, like interacting with humans, getting 588 00:26:32,880 --> 00:26:34,679 Speaker 1: them out of the their create or getting them out 589 00:26:34,720 --> 00:26:37,760 Speaker 1: of their enclosure for an hour and human interaction. So 590 00:26:37,880 --> 00:26:40,800 Speaker 1: like I encourage people, we're not asking just for money, 591 00:26:41,040 --> 00:26:43,720 Speaker 1: maybe just an hour of your time a month, even 592 00:26:44,200 --> 00:26:47,280 Speaker 1: it's it's start small, because every little bit counts.

I mean that's the statruth 900 00:40:22,400 --> 00:40:22,640 Speaker 2: of it. 901 00:40:22,960 --> 00:40:26,919 Speaker 1: But I've learned that you don't have to live every 902 00:40:26,960 --> 00:40:30,959 Speaker 1: sad song you ever write, and you know, there's this 903 00:40:30,960 --> 00:40:33,799 Speaker 1: this kind of mentality, especially for young artists, like you 904 00:40:33,800 --> 00:40:35,640 Speaker 1: have to be tortured artists and you have to like 905 00:40:36,120 --> 00:40:38,960 Speaker 1: write about all your pain. It's like that is important, 906 00:40:39,000 --> 00:40:42,160 Speaker 1: and I think feeling all the feelings so important for 907 00:40:42,200 --> 00:40:42,840 Speaker 1: a songwriter. 908 00:40:43,560 --> 00:40:46,120 Speaker 2: But you can't live in that. You can't. 909 00:40:46,160 --> 00:40:48,880 Speaker 1: If I've heard enough that I can go back, I 910 00:40:48,880 --> 00:40:51,279 Speaker 1: can just go dig in that well anytime I need to. 911 00:40:51,360 --> 00:40:55,319 Speaker 1: But I'd rather not be tortured and like live a 912 00:40:55,320 --> 00:40:57,279 Speaker 1: happy life and I can still write a damn good 913 00:40:57,280 --> 00:40:57,759 Speaker 1: sad song. 914 00:40:57,840 --> 00:41:01,040 Speaker 2: We're All Gonna Be okay.

I would listen to that song 917 00:41:04,440 --> 00:41:06,080 Speaker 3: and I would cry. It will make me cry out, 918 00:41:06,239 --> 00:41:09,680 Speaker 3: but it was so cathartic. Like as a songwriter you 919 00:41:09,760 --> 00:41:13,560 Speaker 3: help people through experience that in your ability to express 920 00:41:13,600 --> 00:41:16,279 Speaker 3: what like we're thinking but don't even know how to 921 00:41:16,320 --> 00:41:18,239 Speaker 3: put it down on paper. It's like, so I just 922 00:41:18,320 --> 00:41:20,920 Speaker 3: my dad when I was a little kid driving the car, 923 00:41:20,960 --> 00:41:22,279 Speaker 3: and he would make me take out the front of 924 00:41:22,280 --> 00:41:24,320 Speaker 3: a CD cover remember when all the lyrics used to 925 00:41:24,360 --> 00:41:26,400 Speaker 3: be and I love that, And he would make me 926 00:41:26,560 --> 00:41:28,120 Speaker 3: He's like, you can't like a song if you don't 927 00:41:28,160 --> 00:41:30,399 Speaker 3: know what's about. And he would make me look learn 928 00:41:30,560 --> 00:41:32,319 Speaker 3: all the words of songs. So now when I listen 929 00:41:32,360 --> 00:41:34,759 Speaker 3: to songs, it's like all about the lyrics. Obviously there's 930 00:41:34,760 --> 00:41:38,120 Speaker 3: the melody, that's for sure, but like words matter, and 931 00:41:38,160 --> 00:41:40,239 Speaker 3: like that, tin Man is just like do you have 932 00:41:40,280 --> 00:41:42,759 Speaker 3: a again, You can't pick a favorite song, but is 933 00:41:42,800 --> 00:41:46,520 Speaker 3: there a song of yours that like just resonates maybe 934 00:41:46,560 --> 00:41:47,880 Speaker 3: more than others for you? 935 00:41:48,400 --> 00:41:51,600 Speaker 1: Tin Man is a big one, you know. It's one 936 00:41:51,640 --> 00:41:56,440 Speaker 1: of those two. I wrote that being very vulnerable and 937 00:41:56,480 --> 00:41:59,279 Speaker 1: it's scary. It's like, okay, well there's so on this 938 00:41:59,320 --> 00:42:01,920 Speaker 1: record Carson, Texas. There's one called Run that was a 939 00:42:01,960 --> 00:42:08,840 Speaker 1: solo rite from like twenty fifteen or sixteen, and I didn't. 940 00:42:08,600 --> 00:42:11,200 Speaker 2: Record it ever because I with them ready to. 941 00:42:11,480 --> 00:42:14,240 Speaker 1: And I also like, when you write a song by yourself, 942 00:42:14,320 --> 00:42:17,880 Speaker 1: that's really honest and it's really hard. You don't have 943 00:42:17,880 --> 00:42:19,719 Speaker 1: anyone to hide, you know, I can't be like, well 944 00:42:19,719 --> 00:42:25,600 Speaker 1: that was my co writer's story.

All the artists that I love, all 947 00:42:29,680 --> 00:42:31,839 Speaker 1: the music I grew up on. Like, hearing about Merle 948 00:42:31,840 --> 00:42:34,320 Speaker 1: Haggard turning twenty one in prison, I was like, oh damn, 949 00:42:34,520 --> 00:42:35,680 Speaker 1: Like you know what I mean. 950 00:42:36,160 --> 00:42:38,400 Speaker 2: I just appreciate. 951 00:42:37,840 --> 00:42:41,719 Speaker 1: Honesty and vulnerability in music, in any art, you know, 952 00:42:41,880 --> 00:42:44,800 Speaker 1: and just any human being.
