1 00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:02,480 Speaker 1: This is Kelly Henderson and you are listening to a 2 00:00:02,560 --> 00:00:05,600 Speaker 1: new series on the Velvet Edge podcast called at Home 3 00:00:05,680 --> 00:00:09,000 Speaker 1: on v. During this coronavirus pandemic, I have found that 4 00:00:09,080 --> 00:00:12,039 Speaker 1: some days I just feel really isolated and alone, both 5 00:00:12,080 --> 00:00:15,240 Speaker 1: physically and emotionally. And what's helped me the most is 6 00:00:15,280 --> 00:00:18,080 Speaker 1: talking to other people around me and realizing just how 7 00:00:18,160 --> 00:00:22,160 Speaker 1: much everyone is feeling the exact same things. There's no 8 00:00:22,200 --> 00:00:24,639 Speaker 1: one that isn't affected by what's going on in some way, 9 00:00:24,680 --> 00:00:27,400 Speaker 1: shape or form. In Nashville. One of the biggest hits 10 00:00:27,400 --> 00:00:30,040 Speaker 1: we've taken is within the entertainment industry, as none of 11 00:00:30,040 --> 00:00:33,239 Speaker 1: our musical events are touring can even take place. This 12 00:00:33,360 --> 00:00:35,440 Speaker 1: puts so many people out of work and also puts 13 00:00:35,479 --> 00:00:38,480 Speaker 1: these traveling folks or right where we all are at home. 14 00:00:39,080 --> 00:00:40,720 Speaker 1: Since they are all off the road, I thought it 15 00:00:40,720 --> 00:00:42,360 Speaker 1: would be a good time to catch them for a 16 00:00:42,400 --> 00:00:45,000 Speaker 1: quick chat and see how they are handling all of 17 00:00:45,040 --> 00:00:48,400 Speaker 1: this craziness, how they're staying positive, and what they are 18 00:00:48,440 --> 00:00:51,280 Speaker 1: doing to keep their dreams alive. It was no surprise 19 00:00:51,320 --> 00:00:52,920 Speaker 1: to me, but a lot of what they are feeling 20 00:00:52,960 --> 00:00:54,720 Speaker 1: is what I'm feeling, and I'm sure what a lot 21 00:00:54,760 --> 00:00:57,240 Speaker 1: of you guys listening are feeling as well. We are 22 00:00:57,320 --> 00:01:00,000 Speaker 1: all in this together, and I hope that these conversations 23 00:01:00,040 --> 00:01:02,240 Speaker 1: help you guys feel that and maybe even give you 24 00:01:02,280 --> 00:01:04,640 Speaker 1: some ideas of things to pass the time and to 25 00:01:04,720 --> 00:01:08,760 Speaker 1: stay positive. Here's my first conversation with the cutest country 26 00:01:08,800 --> 00:01:11,920 Speaker 1: duo out there, Maddie and Tay. They told me how 27 00:01:11,959 --> 00:01:15,520 Speaker 1: this has shifted their album release, what Isolation has done 28 00:01:15,520 --> 00:01:18,480 Speaker 1: in their relationships, and what is helping them to survive. 29 00:01:18,800 --> 00:01:24,119 Speaker 1: Here's our conversation, Maddie and Tay.

So can 34 00:01:36,920 --> 00:01:39,400 Speaker 1: you guys kind of talk through how this album release 35 00:01:39,520 --> 00:01:42,000 Speaker 1: is gonna look a lot different this time. I mean, 36 00:01:42,040 --> 00:01:45,160 Speaker 1: it's been five years since we've released an album because 37 00:01:45,160 --> 00:01:48,680 Speaker 1: we've had a lot of crazy career things happened with 38 00:01:48,760 --> 00:01:51,040 Speaker 1: a label shutting down in the middle of making a record, 39 00:01:51,080 --> 00:01:55,200 Speaker 1: and so I mean, honestly, it's like, of course, something 40 00:01:55,240 --> 00:01:58,240 Speaker 1: crazy has to happen when we finally get to release 41 00:01:58,320 --> 00:02:02,680 Speaker 1: a second ring. Oh my gosh. Um, but um, you know, 42 00:02:02,960 --> 00:02:05,600 Speaker 1: we um, just the past couple of years, with what 43 00:02:05,640 --> 00:02:07,800 Speaker 1: we've been through I was saying earlier, we are the 44 00:02:07,880 --> 00:02:12,000 Speaker 1: queens of catching curveballs, and so we can pivot and adjust, 45 00:02:12,600 --> 00:02:16,480 Speaker 1: um pretty much to anything, even something crazy like a pandemic. Um, 46 00:02:16,520 --> 00:02:20,320 Speaker 1: we just try to, um, you know, try to stay 47 00:02:20,360 --> 00:02:24,960 Speaker 1: positive and UM, honestly, like you just gotta play the 48 00:02:25,000 --> 00:02:28,040 Speaker 1: cards that you're dealt, and like, you know, wasting time 49 00:02:28,080 --> 00:02:30,960 Speaker 1: being angry about it, are frustrated is just not gonna 50 00:02:30,960 --> 00:02:34,120 Speaker 1: make it better. So we just you know, we've been 51 00:02:34,120 --> 00:02:37,120 Speaker 1: coming up with really fun creative ways to you know, 52 00:02:37,240 --> 00:02:40,480 Speaker 1: still make this album really special for ourselves and for 53 00:02:40,520 --> 00:02:44,560 Speaker 1: our fans. Um, and just you know, I mean, I 54 00:02:44,560 --> 00:02:47,600 Speaker 1: think music right now is so important, and so we're 55 00:02:47,639 --> 00:02:51,280 Speaker 1: just mainly excited to give people some more songs to 56 00:02:51,480 --> 00:02:55,040 Speaker 1: get through this funk and you know, just kind of 57 00:02:55,440 --> 00:02:58,720 Speaker 1: spread a little more joy through music. I love that 58 00:02:58,800 --> 00:03:00,760 Speaker 1: I love the Queen of the curve of balls because 59 00:03:00,800 --> 00:03:03,160 Speaker 1: that is so true, right, that's life. It's just like 60 00:03:03,200 --> 00:03:06,280 Speaker 1: there's always something coming at you, and so what's the 61 00:03:06,320 --> 00:03:08,400 Speaker 1: solution to getting through it? So, I know, I mean, 62 00:03:08,440 --> 00:03:10,040 Speaker 1: because of what I do for work too when we 63 00:03:10,080 --> 00:03:12,320 Speaker 1: do album promos. I mean we're going to all the 64 00:03:12,320 --> 00:03:15,040 Speaker 1: different TV shows and all of those are shut down 65 00:03:15,160 --> 00:03:17,480 Speaker 1: right now. So what are some of the creative things 66 00:03:17,520 --> 00:03:22,240 Speaker 1: you guys have come up with? Thank goodness for social media. Yeah, 67 00:03:22,440 --> 00:03:25,960 Speaker 1: it's it's been such a great platform for everyone, I 68 00:03:25,960 --> 00:03:28,840 Speaker 1: think during this time because you get to direct, directly 69 00:03:28,880 --> 00:03:32,040 Speaker 1: engage with your fans and really control the content and 70 00:03:32,080 --> 00:03:34,000 Speaker 1: kind of control the narrative, which has been fun. But 71 00:03:34,840 --> 00:03:38,240 Speaker 1: it's been really interactive with fans. We posted yesterday like 72 00:03:38,560 --> 00:03:40,080 Speaker 1: what kind of merch do you all want to see 73 00:03:40,080 --> 00:03:42,360 Speaker 1: on tour? And just stuff like that to make them 74 00:03:42,760 --> 00:03:45,200 Speaker 1: still feel included and let them know we're still working. 75 00:03:45,240 --> 00:03:47,560 Speaker 1: You know, this isn't going to make us stuff. I 76 00:03:47,600 --> 00:03:51,240 Speaker 1: love how artists are doing live videos. Yes, trick for 77 00:03:51,320 --> 00:03:53,800 Speaker 1: Mattie and I because we're a duo, right so we're 78 00:03:53,800 --> 00:03:56,440 Speaker 1: still trying to figure that out because we live in 79 00:03:56,480 --> 00:04:01,160 Speaker 1: separate homes. But okay, oh my gosh, but really diving 80 00:04:01,200 --> 00:04:03,880 Speaker 1: into social media, um, just letting fans know that we're 81 00:04:03,880 --> 00:04:07,400 Speaker 1: still here, we're still listening, we're still creating, we're trying 82 00:04:07,440 --> 00:04:11,560 Speaker 1: to get ready so when tour does finally start again, 83 00:04:11,600 --> 00:04:14,880 Speaker 1: we are better than ever and not letting this be 84 00:04:14,960 --> 00:04:17,960 Speaker 1: a setback. Yeah, that's great. So you guys are not 85 00:04:18,040 --> 00:04:20,080 Speaker 1: isolating together. I take it you said you live an 86 00:04:20,080 --> 00:04:24,880 Speaker 1: hour away. Who are you isolating with? We are isolating 87 00:04:24,920 --> 00:04:28,080 Speaker 1: with our husbands, and Kay has her dad and her 88 00:04:28,160 --> 00:04:31,359 Speaker 1: brother in town, and we like me and Jonah, my 89 00:04:31,440 --> 00:04:33,560 Speaker 1: husband and I high five last night because we're like, 90 00:04:33,680 --> 00:04:37,480 Speaker 1: we have not gotten in like any tists or arguments 91 00:04:37,560 --> 00:04:40,240 Speaker 1: or anything. We've been stuck in the house together for 92 00:04:40,320 --> 00:04:42,960 Speaker 1: like three or four weeks now because me and my 93 00:04:43,040 --> 00:04:46,280 Speaker 1: husband started um quarantining right when we got back from 94 00:04:46,400 --> 00:04:48,960 Speaker 1: our trip from New York, like the first week in March. 95 00:04:49,440 --> 00:04:52,320 Speaker 1: We haven't We've been isolating for a long time just 96 00:04:52,400 --> 00:04:55,960 Speaker 1: in case I had it because it was getting so 97 00:04:56,040 --> 00:04:59,520 Speaker 1: bad there and so thankfully we're healthy. We're good. But 98 00:05:00,080 --> 00:05:01,840 Speaker 1: I was like, you know what, that is a win 99 00:05:01,920 --> 00:05:04,440 Speaker 1: because this is the longest my husband and I have 100 00:05:04,600 --> 00:05:07,800 Speaker 1: spent like we've had since we got married in November. 101 00:05:07,880 --> 00:05:12,160 Speaker 1: We have spent like almost four months straight together, four 102 00:05:12,240 --> 00:05:15,080 Speaker 1: or five months straight, and we haven't spent that much 103 00:05:15,080 --> 00:05:17,400 Speaker 1: time together since we were like dating in high school. 104 00:05:17,400 --> 00:05:21,120 Speaker 1: Made so um, I was like, you know what, I 105 00:05:21,160 --> 00:05:23,440 Speaker 1: am so proud of us, like you know, and and 106 00:05:23,560 --> 00:05:26,280 Speaker 1: Tay and Josh their newlywoods. So this is like really 107 00:05:26,320 --> 00:05:32,960 Speaker 1: putting the newlyweds to a good test exactly. That's a 108 00:05:32,960 --> 00:05:35,640 Speaker 1: good way to look at it, because the day I 109 00:05:35,680 --> 00:05:38,919 Speaker 1: got back to my honeymoon was when all this started. Okay, 110 00:05:39,000 --> 00:05:41,200 Speaker 1: I thought I would get back to work, but the 111 00:05:41,279 --> 00:05:49,159 Speaker 1: universe was like, congratulations, congratulations together. Yeah. Yeah. I keep 112 00:05:49,160 --> 00:05:51,159 Speaker 1: hearing people say this is either going to make or 113 00:05:51,200 --> 00:05:54,160 Speaker 1: break those relationships that are maybe on the line right now. 114 00:05:54,440 --> 00:05:58,159 Speaker 1: Like it's just it's so much time together, like you said, 115 00:05:58,560 --> 00:06:00,920 Speaker 1: So how like do you guys, because we were talking 116 00:06:00,920 --> 00:06:03,400 Speaker 1: about this before too. You know, there's every day that 117 00:06:03,440 --> 00:06:06,320 Speaker 1: goes by that I'm inside my house, I have to 118 00:06:06,360 --> 00:06:10,479 Speaker 1: find something or some sort of like positive activity. I 119 00:06:10,480 --> 00:06:11,680 Speaker 1: have to get out of the house and go on 120 00:06:11,720 --> 00:06:14,160 Speaker 1: a walk to help myself to stay out of that 121 00:06:14,240 --> 00:06:16,800 Speaker 1: like negativity and just getting bogged down because I think 122 00:06:17,080 --> 00:06:20,560 Speaker 1: being isolated can do that. What have y'all found works 123 00:06:20,600 --> 00:06:22,599 Speaker 1: for y'all to do? Each of you have a different 124 00:06:22,600 --> 00:06:27,039 Speaker 1: thing you do. How do you go first? Oh? Um, 125 00:06:27,080 --> 00:06:29,720 Speaker 1: I've been doing a couple of things. I mean, honestly, 126 00:06:29,920 --> 00:06:32,120 Speaker 1: right now in Nashville. It's really hard because there's been 127 00:06:32,200 --> 00:06:37,320 Speaker 1: zero sunshine, so literally waiting hour by hour because it's 128 00:06:37,320 --> 00:06:39,720 Speaker 1: supposed to be sunshining today, so right when that sun 129 00:06:39,800 --> 00:06:43,760 Speaker 1: comes out is going to be outside. Um. But I've 130 00:06:43,760 --> 00:06:46,479 Speaker 1: been honestly, I'm a list girl. I'm a to do 131 00:06:46,600 --> 00:06:49,440 Speaker 1: list kind of girl. So I can I have like 132 00:06:49,480 --> 00:06:52,800 Speaker 1: a list of like maybe twenty things that I want 133 00:06:52,839 --> 00:06:54,919 Speaker 1: to get done by the end of the month. And 134 00:06:54,960 --> 00:06:56,680 Speaker 1: so I've kind of just been even if it's like 135 00:06:57,040 --> 00:07:01,240 Speaker 1: doing laundry and dishes for the day or like completing 136 00:07:01,320 --> 00:07:04,040 Speaker 1: you know, five different emails or whatever that is, like 137 00:07:04,120 --> 00:07:08,280 Speaker 1: having a goal for the day and helping. Um. I've 138 00:07:08,320 --> 00:07:10,800 Speaker 1: been trying to journal every day, even if it's like 139 00:07:11,480 --> 00:07:15,560 Speaker 1: a couple of sentences. Um. But just I, um sometimes 140 00:07:15,560 --> 00:07:20,120 Speaker 1: get irresponsible about like feeling what I'm feeling, and sometimes 141 00:07:20,120 --> 00:07:22,080 Speaker 1: I'll just kind of like suppress it all. And so 142 00:07:22,160 --> 00:07:25,520 Speaker 1: I've been trying to like hold myself self accountable. So 143 00:07:25,560 --> 00:07:27,440 Speaker 1: like if I'm feeling sad that day, or if I'm 144 00:07:27,440 --> 00:07:31,080 Speaker 1: feeling encouraged or whatever it is, to just not run 145 00:07:31,120 --> 00:07:34,240 Speaker 1: away from the feeling and you know, just lean in, 146 00:07:34,480 --> 00:07:37,880 Speaker 1: feel it and then move on. But I mean, I 147 00:07:37,880 --> 00:07:40,520 Speaker 1: I've been I've been good during this process. For the 148 00:07:40,520 --> 00:07:42,840 Speaker 1: other day, I was just like really sad for the 149 00:07:43,080 --> 00:07:46,400 Speaker 1: like our world, like just missing my family, missing my friends, 150 00:07:46,440 --> 00:07:49,440 Speaker 1: and I just kind of had to like get through 151 00:07:49,480 --> 00:07:52,280 Speaker 1: the day and and then know that there was a 152 00:07:52,320 --> 00:07:57,440 Speaker 1: new day coming and um. But journaling, getting outside and 153 00:07:57,520 --> 00:08:00,520 Speaker 1: just having like goals to accomp is by the end 154 00:08:00,520 --> 00:08:02,480 Speaker 1: of the day have been helping. Today has been a 155 00:08:02,520 --> 00:08:08,320 Speaker 1: Mario Kart campion. Oh Kart. I definitely agree that there's 156 00:08:08,360 --> 00:08:11,360 Speaker 1: something about going outside that I feel very present and 157 00:08:11,440 --> 00:08:14,520 Speaker 1: very grounded. I love that having a goal. I've just 158 00:08:14,560 --> 00:08:18,480 Speaker 1: been organizing like everything in my house, which I'm I'm like, 159 00:08:18,480 --> 00:08:20,000 Speaker 1: am I suddenly O c D. I don't really know. 160 00:08:20,240 --> 00:08:22,480 Speaker 1: I know I've been the same way all of a sudden, 161 00:08:24,520 --> 00:08:27,440 Speaker 1: but I was. I'm one of the biggest introverts I know, 162 00:08:27,680 --> 00:08:31,280 Speaker 1: like I thrive off alone time drive. It's really the 163 00:08:31,320 --> 00:08:34,000 Speaker 1: only time I can hear myself saying because when I'm alone. 164 00:08:34,840 --> 00:08:38,480 Speaker 1: But when this whole isolation started, I was like, not 165 00:08:39,160 --> 00:08:41,280 Speaker 1: have it. I don't know, I guess you know, And 166 00:08:41,320 --> 00:08:43,439 Speaker 1: it was. It's one of the things I think probably 167 00:08:43,440 --> 00:08:46,320 Speaker 1: why a lot of people are getting stressed during this 168 00:08:46,320 --> 00:08:48,679 Speaker 1: time because if you don't really love yourself, it's kind 169 00:08:48,679 --> 00:08:52,360 Speaker 1: of hard to be alone with yourself all the time. Yeah. 170 00:08:52,440 --> 00:08:54,400 Speaker 1: So yeah, and so I just kind of had a 171 00:08:54,400 --> 00:08:56,280 Speaker 1: look at myself like Okay, what what am I? What 172 00:08:56,320 --> 00:08:59,120 Speaker 1: am I missing? And then it's just really just being 173 00:08:59,120 --> 00:09:01,280 Speaker 1: okay with being a lone and you can't run from 174 00:09:01,320 --> 00:09:04,480 Speaker 1: stuff when you're alone. And I think that's one of 175 00:09:04,520 --> 00:09:07,760 Speaker 1: the most gonna be one of the most important lessons 176 00:09:07,920 --> 00:09:10,320 Speaker 1: lessons for me during this was just being alone and 177 00:09:10,320 --> 00:09:14,040 Speaker 1: thinking about like Maddie said, feel it, let it go. Yeah, 178 00:09:14,200 --> 00:09:18,000 Speaker 1: it's something, but yeah, it can be really anxious. I 179 00:09:18,120 --> 00:09:20,959 Speaker 1: finally started to calm down in the past couple of 180 00:09:21,040 --> 00:09:23,920 Speaker 1: days like all right, Okay, this is not gonna last forever, 181 00:09:24,040 --> 00:09:26,840 Speaker 1: like nic said, a new day coming, and really just 182 00:09:27,760 --> 00:09:30,280 Speaker 1: doing stuff that that makes me happy, like going outside 183 00:09:30,320 --> 00:09:36,840 Speaker 1: and um playing a week like anyone I like recently 184 00:09:36,960 --> 00:09:40,440 Speaker 1: that I've never really experienced like severe anxiety or panic 185 00:09:40,480 --> 00:09:44,200 Speaker 1: attacks or anything. Um, but like the week that we 186 00:09:44,200 --> 00:09:47,000 Speaker 1: were in New York, I just I was having these 187 00:09:47,160 --> 00:09:51,200 Speaker 1: crazy panic attacks where like I felt dizzy. I was 188 00:09:51,320 --> 00:09:54,440 Speaker 1: just like I couldn't breathe, that my heart rate was 189 00:09:54,520 --> 00:09:57,640 Speaker 1: like through the roof and just like for a week 190 00:09:57,679 --> 00:10:00,840 Speaker 1: I was struggling with this really bad like panic and 191 00:10:00,880 --> 00:10:05,040 Speaker 1: anxiety and um, and then of course the coronavirus, the 192 00:10:05,080 --> 00:10:08,320 Speaker 1: tornado and then the coronavirus, Like all that stuff was 193 00:10:08,400 --> 00:10:11,840 Speaker 1: not helping. But like anyone that really struggles with like 194 00:10:11,920 --> 00:10:15,959 Speaker 1: severe anxiety and stuff, I the things that I've been doing, 195 00:10:16,240 --> 00:10:21,160 Speaker 1: like honestly putting on music, there's something that like heels 196 00:10:21,280 --> 00:10:24,679 Speaker 1: or just I don't know if it's like just a distraction. 197 00:10:24,720 --> 00:10:26,520 Speaker 1: I don't know what it is, but just breathing and 198 00:10:26,559 --> 00:10:29,800 Speaker 1: listening to music for anyone that's struggled with really bad 199 00:10:29,800 --> 00:10:33,000 Speaker 1: anxiety like that, Um, those have been my two go 200 00:10:33,200 --> 00:10:35,640 Speaker 1: choose right now. I think you guys like such a 201 00:10:35,679 --> 00:10:38,000 Speaker 1: really great point to about. You know, it's really a 202 00:10:38,000 --> 00:10:40,560 Speaker 1: lot about acceptance with this stuff. Because even Tay, like 203 00:10:40,600 --> 00:10:43,200 Speaker 1: you were saying, you're an introvert. You love to be alone, 204 00:10:43,280 --> 00:10:45,880 Speaker 1: but when you're forced to do it, it somehow feels 205 00:10:45,880 --> 00:10:48,760 Speaker 1: so much different, don't you think it really does? Yeah? 206 00:10:49,120 --> 00:10:51,560 Speaker 1: So different. It's almost like, Okay, what am I in 207 00:10:51,559 --> 00:10:57,360 Speaker 1: trouble for? Right right? It feels like jail versus peace. Yeah, 208 00:10:57,400 --> 00:11:01,240 Speaker 1: I'm so extroverted, Like I thrive off of being around people. 209 00:11:01,640 --> 00:11:03,920 Speaker 1: So I've I've kind of had to do the same 210 00:11:03,960 --> 00:11:06,600 Speaker 1: like with Tay, like Okay, well, you know, I'm just 211 00:11:06,640 --> 00:11:09,760 Speaker 1: gonna be the best that I can be and like 212 00:11:09,920 --> 00:11:12,400 Speaker 1: really dig into like maybe some parts that I haven't 213 00:11:12,440 --> 00:11:16,480 Speaker 1: had time to heal or any things like internally that 214 00:11:16,559 --> 00:11:20,559 Speaker 1: I haven't accepted UM, And like I feel like this 215 00:11:20,679 --> 00:11:24,920 Speaker 1: downtime has like a lot of like has caused a 216 00:11:24,960 --> 00:11:28,760 Speaker 1: lot of like reflection and like really looking in the 217 00:11:28,800 --> 00:11:31,840 Speaker 1: mirror and having the time to do so well, and 218 00:11:31,960 --> 00:11:35,160 Speaker 1: especially in our like in our industry and every industry really, 219 00:11:35,200 --> 00:11:39,760 Speaker 1: but one that is so centered around um always being 220 00:11:39,800 --> 00:11:42,120 Speaker 1: relevant and like always staying on top of things and 221 00:11:42,559 --> 00:11:46,280 Speaker 1: on social media and on TV. You know, it's for 222 00:11:46,400 --> 00:11:49,840 Speaker 1: us to have to be still and not feel like 223 00:11:50,360 --> 00:11:53,440 Speaker 1: it's easy, especially on our society to want to work 224 00:11:53,720 --> 00:11:56,240 Speaker 1: all day every day because it feels like you're moving 225 00:11:56,280 --> 00:12:00,360 Speaker 1: the needle. But really, just like a faith, it's really 226 00:12:01,200 --> 00:12:03,640 Speaker 1: and all the time we're like okay, be still and 227 00:12:03,679 --> 00:12:06,079 Speaker 1: like let God do a thing. But you know that's 228 00:12:06,120 --> 00:12:07,800 Speaker 1: we're talking to talk and now it's time to walk 229 00:12:07,840 --> 00:12:11,320 Speaker 1: the walk. So that yeah, I've really like realized, Okay, God, 230 00:12:11,440 --> 00:12:14,320 Speaker 1: like you got this. This isn't. I'm being still in 231 00:12:14,360 --> 00:12:16,880 Speaker 1: the world's not gonna end. It's gonna be okay, right. 232 00:12:17,000 --> 00:12:19,120 Speaker 1: I keep hearing people say that this is almost like 233 00:12:19,160 --> 00:12:22,480 Speaker 1: a hard reset for our entire world because we are 234 00:12:22,520 --> 00:12:25,280 Speaker 1: being forced to stop, which is so not natural for 235 00:12:25,360 --> 00:12:28,640 Speaker 1: many of us. And I love the intentionality behind what 236 00:12:28,760 --> 00:12:31,520 Speaker 1: you guys are talking about, like the journaling and just 237 00:12:31,559 --> 00:12:33,640 Speaker 1: taking the time to feel your feelings around it. I 238 00:12:33,679 --> 00:12:37,040 Speaker 1: think that's huge, yeah, because we just don't We're not 239 00:12:37,120 --> 00:12:41,600 Speaker 1: living in a society that celebrates that, right, Like there's 240 00:12:41,600 --> 00:12:43,920 Speaker 1: a lot of people that feel your feelings be vulnerable. 241 00:12:43,960 --> 00:12:46,440 Speaker 1: But it's one thing to like post it and say that, 242 00:12:46,480 --> 00:12:49,800 Speaker 1: and it's another thing to actually do it. Now you're 243 00:12:49,880 --> 00:12:52,840 Speaker 1: having to do it. And I think like where we 244 00:12:52,920 --> 00:12:55,120 Speaker 1: try to be like glass half full kind of girls, 245 00:12:55,160 --> 00:12:57,640 Speaker 1: which there are days when I'm like this glass is 246 00:12:57,640 --> 00:13:02,000 Speaker 1: freaking pipty as him so bad. But um, I think 247 00:13:02,040 --> 00:13:04,120 Speaker 1: that is one of the positives, like you said, like 248 00:13:04,160 --> 00:13:06,120 Speaker 1: a reset for the world, Like it's you know, the 249 00:13:06,240 --> 00:13:11,080 Speaker 1: environment's improving, Um, families are having dinners together and you know, 250 00:13:11,160 --> 00:13:14,320 Speaker 1: it's there's a lot of good things that can come 251 00:13:14,360 --> 00:13:16,880 Speaker 1: out of this. I agree, we've got to keep our 252 00:13:16,920 --> 00:13:18,559 Speaker 1: minds there. I love what you said about music, So 253 00:13:18,640 --> 00:13:21,080 Speaker 1: let's talk a little bit about the album because if 254 00:13:21,120 --> 00:13:23,640 Speaker 1: nothing else, I mean, you guys can't go promote it 255 00:13:23,679 --> 00:13:25,920 Speaker 1: the same way you normally do. But everyone is at 256 00:13:25,920 --> 00:13:27,920 Speaker 1: home right now, and I know me, I've run through 257 00:13:27,960 --> 00:13:30,280 Speaker 1: all of my favorite albums a million times now, so 258 00:13:30,320 --> 00:13:33,000 Speaker 1: I'm ready for some new music. So the album is 259 00:13:33,080 --> 00:13:35,440 Speaker 1: called The Way It Feels, and it comes out April ten. 260 00:13:35,600 --> 00:13:39,680 Speaker 1: Tell us a little bit about it. It's a fifteen 261 00:13:39,760 --> 00:13:45,160 Speaker 1: song wow. Okay. We've been releasing it a little bit differently. 262 00:13:45,600 --> 00:13:49,280 Speaker 1: We released an EP and then another EP and both 263 00:13:49,440 --> 00:13:51,960 Speaker 1: with five songs on them, so we have currently ten 264 00:13:52,000 --> 00:13:55,120 Speaker 1: songs out and then the remaining five will be released 265 00:13:55,120 --> 00:13:57,400 Speaker 1: with the rest of the record on April ten. And 266 00:13:58,200 --> 00:14:00,000 Speaker 1: you know, it's it's been four and a half years 267 00:14:00,000 --> 00:14:02,880 Speaker 1: since we released our last record, so a lot of 268 00:14:02,920 --> 00:14:06,200 Speaker 1: life has been with a lot of hard times, a 269 00:14:06,200 --> 00:14:10,680 Speaker 1: lot of exciting times. But you know, we are in 270 00:14:10,760 --> 00:14:14,560 Speaker 1: such a confident era of our lives right now, and 271 00:14:14,600 --> 00:14:18,040 Speaker 1: it feels really good too to have a project that 272 00:14:18,120 --> 00:14:20,120 Speaker 1: we feel so good about. And I think that's what 273 00:14:20,200 --> 00:14:23,880 Speaker 1: Maddie and I aren't really letting this told change and 274 00:14:23,880 --> 00:14:26,840 Speaker 1: how we're releasing it perfect us because we're just excited 275 00:14:26,840 --> 00:14:30,000 Speaker 1: to have music out. We've been living in the past 276 00:14:30,000 --> 00:14:32,800 Speaker 1: four four last years with not getting to have a 277 00:14:32,840 --> 00:14:35,000 Speaker 1: record out. So really, just the fact that we get 278 00:14:35,040 --> 00:14:37,520 Speaker 1: to release these songs and tell these stories in the 279 00:14:37,560 --> 00:14:41,160 Speaker 1: way that we feel proud of is all all we want.
