137
00:10:02,000 --> 00:10:05,320
Speaker 1: to have become well known because it's such a slow,

138
00:10:06,640 --> 00:10:10,880
Speaker 1: quiet song. So I'm always like tickled, you know when

139
00:10:11,000 --> 00:10:14,040
Speaker 1: people know it. No, it's beautiful. It's like, it's one

140
00:10:14,080 --> 00:10:16,280
Speaker 1: of my favorite songs. It's my go to karaoke songs.

141
00:10:16,280 --> 00:10:18,559
Speaker 1: That's so funny. That's the only song I see. Oh

142
00:10:18,640 --> 00:10:21,160
Speaker 1: that's cool. My go to karaoke song is whip It

143
00:10:21,240 --> 00:10:26,839
Speaker 1: by Devo. Oh nice, that's yeah, that's funny. So when

144
00:10:26,920 --> 00:10:29,079
Speaker 1: you were growing up, how did you get into music?

145
00:10:29,280 --> 00:10:31,040
Speaker 1: Did you have musical family.

146
00:10:30,880 --> 00:10:36,640
Speaker 6: Or I mean my dad like loved music and plays

147
00:10:36,720 --> 00:10:42,680
Speaker 6: guitar and would always like have Mariacci bands and like, yeah,

148
00:10:42,920 --> 00:10:46,559
Speaker 6: so I grew up in like a house that loved music.

149
00:10:48,160 --> 00:10:51,720
Speaker 6: But you know, my mom's a teacher and my dad's

150
00:10:52,200 --> 00:10:55,079
Speaker 6: a mechanic. So I think I just grew up like

151
00:10:55,200 --> 00:10:58,439
Speaker 6: not knowing that I could even pursue music. I think

152
00:10:58,480 --> 00:11:00,559
Speaker 6: it was just something that you know, if you want

153
00:11:00,600 --> 00:11:02,560
Speaker 6: to pursue music, you're seeing at church on Sundays.

154
00:11:02,679 --> 00:11:04,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, and that's how I learned it. Yeah.

155
00:11:04,960 --> 00:11:07,520
Speaker 6: Yeah, And I feel like that's such a great way

156
00:11:07,559 --> 00:11:11,439
Speaker 6: to learn. But yeah, and then it wasn't until a

157
00:11:11,559 --> 00:11:14,400
Speaker 6: friend of mine from Atlanta that moved to LA to

158
00:11:14,480 --> 00:11:16,120
Speaker 6: pursue music. She was like, you have to come here

159
00:11:16,120 --> 00:11:18,559
Speaker 6: if you want to pursue music. I was like, well,

160
00:11:18,960 --> 00:11:19,960
Speaker 6: I guess I'll give it a shot.

161
00:11:20,080 --> 00:11:22,240
Speaker 1: That's cool. Were you older at that point, yeah? Yeah, yeah.

162
00:11:22,760 --> 00:11:26,719
Speaker 6: And then I won a Halloween costume contest at this

163
00:11:27,600 --> 00:11:29,280
Speaker 6: job that I was working at, and I bought a

164
00:11:29,360 --> 00:11:33,920
Speaker 6: car and drove to La knowing just her, and then I.

165
00:11:34,040 --> 00:11:37,040
Speaker 1: Have to know what the costume was. So I was

166
00:11:37,160 --> 00:11:40,040
Speaker 1: working I'm a Halloween really into it.

167
00:11:40,160 --> 00:11:43,319
Speaker 6: I was working at like a creative agency, and so

168
00:11:43,400 --> 00:11:45,000
Speaker 6: I dressed it. I was like, okay, I have to

169
00:11:45,160 --> 00:11:46,360
Speaker 6: like cater to the judges.

170
00:11:46,559 --> 00:11:49,199
Speaker 1: Okay. So I was like, I'm just going to be

171
00:11:49,280 --> 00:11:50,440
Speaker 1: a target market.

172
00:11:51,559 --> 00:11:55,439
Speaker 6: So we like built a whole like wooden structure that

173
00:11:55,600 --> 00:11:58,480
Speaker 6: was a market with like fruit, and we had like

174
00:11:58,559 --> 00:12:01,480
Speaker 6: the client logos on the route and I gave them

175
00:12:01,600 --> 00:12:03,199
Speaker 6: like money that had a logo on it.

176
00:12:03,480 --> 00:12:07,120
Speaker 1: It was like very pandering. Yeah yeah, that's amazing though,

177
00:12:07,160 --> 00:12:09,280
Speaker 1: but they loved it and I won five thousand dollars.

178
00:12:09,360 --> 00:12:12,600
Speaker 1: That's crazy. I know. Wow, And then I bought a car.

179
00:12:13,320 --> 00:12:16,679
Speaker 1: Do you still dress up? I do? Okay, kid, do

180
00:12:16,760 --> 00:12:19,640
Speaker 1: you I do? But I've been really lazy after I

181
00:12:19,720 --> 00:12:22,120
Speaker 1: had kids. It sort of went all to them and

182
00:12:22,240 --> 00:12:24,560
Speaker 1: they don't want to do it. Oh it broke my heart.

183
00:12:24,600 --> 00:12:27,280
Speaker 1: This year, I got ready at like two o'clock in

184
00:12:27,320 --> 00:12:29,240
Speaker 1: the afternoon so that when my daughter got home from

185
00:12:29,280 --> 00:12:31,839
Speaker 1: school she would get excited. Huh. And then I was

186
00:12:31,920 --> 00:12:35,080
Speaker 1: ready since two o'clock in the afternoon, and nobody was excited,

187
00:12:35,720 --> 00:12:39,679
Speaker 1: so I had like makeup on for six hours before.

188
00:12:39,840 --> 00:12:42,520
Speaker 1: Oh my god, it's pretty funny. Well you keep the

189
00:12:42,559 --> 00:12:46,400
Speaker 1: spirit alive. Yeah wow. Did you grow up sugar treating?

190
00:12:46,559 --> 00:12:46,760
Speaker 10: Yeah?

191
00:12:46,960 --> 00:12:49,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, me too. Yeah. I just always loved it. Yeah

192
00:12:49,640 --> 00:12:52,120
Speaker 1: me too. It's such a fun holiday. Yeah, and I

193
00:12:52,240 --> 00:12:54,839
Speaker 1: like it because it's the beginning of the fall lot

194
00:12:54,880 --> 00:12:59,880
Speaker 1: of holidays. Yeah, yeah, exactly. So this song no one noticed.

195
00:13:00,600 --> 00:13:04,000
Speaker 1: It's on your new album and that came out last year.

196
00:13:04,360 --> 00:13:08,280
Speaker 6: Yes, okay, yeah, h it's it feels kind of like

197
00:13:08,320 --> 00:13:11,480
Speaker 6: a slow like I'm surprised that it was the one

198
00:13:11,520 --> 00:13:14,480
Speaker 6: that everybody gravitated towards. Kind of like how what you

199
00:13:14,559 --> 00:13:16,520
Speaker 6: were saying about come away with me? Because it's such

200
00:13:16,600 --> 00:13:19,920
Speaker 6: like a slow yeah, just like a slow kind of

201
00:13:20,000 --> 00:13:24,040
Speaker 6: emotional song. I had always wanted that one to, you know,

202
00:13:24,240 --> 00:13:28,640
Speaker 6: to be the one that that people noticed, and thankfully, yeah,

203
00:13:28,679 --> 00:13:29,400
Speaker 6: thankfully it was.

204
00:13:29,600 --> 00:13:33,959
Speaker 1: But it's it's got a striking opening line, you know,

205
00:13:34,120 --> 00:13:36,719
Speaker 1: it's one of those that just grabs you, thank you,

206
00:13:36,800 --> 00:13:40,839
Speaker 1: and you can kind of relate, relate to. Yeah. I

207
00:13:40,920 --> 00:13:44,719
Speaker 1: think people don't get enough credit for being open to

208
00:13:46,440 --> 00:13:49,480
Speaker 1: slow music. Yeah, I agree, you know. I mean, people

209
00:13:49,559 --> 00:13:53,920
Speaker 1: are emotional and we're all emotional creatures. So it's funny

210
00:13:53,960 --> 00:13:58,959
Speaker 1: when the music industry, you know, or labels want to

211
00:13:58,960 --> 00:14:02,880
Speaker 1: push something more single sounding, but it all ends up

212
00:14:02,920 --> 00:14:04,120
Speaker 1: sounding the same sometimes.

213
00:14:04,280 --> 00:14:08,000
Speaker 6: Yeah, and that's exactly what happened with this album. I think,

214
00:14:08,679 --> 00:14:11,800
Speaker 6: you know, understandably, like they just want to push whatever

215
00:14:11,960 --> 00:14:16,640
Speaker 6: they think is going to do the best, and so

216
00:14:16,760 --> 00:14:19,840
Speaker 6: they picked like a like a more upbeat song from

217
00:14:19,880 --> 00:14:23,760
Speaker 6: our album. It's called run Your Mouth and it's got

218
00:14:23,800 --> 00:14:27,000
Speaker 6: like a pop groove, and you know, then no one noticed.

219
00:14:27,400 --> 00:14:30,360
Speaker 6: You know, people started noticing that song, and it just

220
00:14:30,400 --> 00:14:35,680
Speaker 6: made me so happy, like for the collective consciousness of

221
00:14:36,120 --> 00:14:38,880
Speaker 6: humanity because I was like, okay, like people do like

222
00:14:39,000 --> 00:14:42,000
Speaker 6: sad songs like people do want to connect to something

223
00:14:42,120 --> 00:14:45,040
Speaker 6: like a little deeper. Obviously, people also want to dance,

224
00:14:45,160 --> 00:14:48,280
Speaker 6: but I connect more with like the slow songs and

225
00:14:48,360 --> 00:14:50,880
Speaker 6: songs that like really make me feel something and yeah,

226
00:14:51,000 --> 00:14:53,840
Speaker 6: make me feel like nostalgic and cry.

227
00:14:54,040 --> 00:14:57,120
Speaker 1: And I think if we ever stopped making sad songs

228
00:14:57,920 --> 00:15:03,239
Speaker 1: just yeah, I mean I grew up with a mixtape

229
00:15:03,600 --> 00:15:07,000
Speaker 1: that was slow and sad songs. In the other side

230
00:15:07,080 --> 00:15:11,080
Speaker 1: was songs to cry too, So yeah, I would love

231
00:15:11,160 --> 00:15:14,040
Speaker 1: to hear that mixtape. Oh yeah, it's all just sad,

232
00:15:14,240 --> 00:15:17,560
Speaker 1: slow songs. Yeah, that's like that's from my playlist too. Yeah.

233
00:15:17,800 --> 00:15:18,240
Speaker 7: I mean.

234
00:15:19,800 --> 00:15:22,320
Speaker 1: Anything that makes you feel something, yeah, right, it makes

235
00:15:22,360 --> 00:15:27,360
Speaker 1: you feel less alone, exactly, Yeah, exactly. I was. I

236
00:15:27,440 --> 00:15:32,040
Speaker 1: took my son to see Billie Eilish and I was

237
00:15:32,120 --> 00:15:35,360
Speaker 1: just like, my god, this music is so melancholy. It's crazy.

238
00:15:35,600 --> 00:15:37,600
Speaker 1: And then there's some stuff with that you can really

239
00:15:37,680 --> 00:15:39,640
Speaker 1: dance to him. It's it's awesome. But I'm like, I

240
00:15:39,840 --> 00:15:43,640
Speaker 1: love that it's made it through to people. Yeah, something

241
00:15:43,800 --> 00:15:47,680
Speaker 1: that emotional, Yeah, and just made me happy. Yeah, and

242
00:15:47,720 --> 00:15:52,880
Speaker 1: then I got really melancholy. Yeah it was nice. Yeah.

243
00:15:53,320 --> 00:15:56,720
Speaker 6: Yeah, she's she's amazing. We we had the opportunity to

244
00:15:57,320 --> 00:16:00,560
Speaker 6: open up a few shows for for her. So cool,

245
00:16:00,960 --> 00:16:03,920
Speaker 6: And the first time seeing her live was the first

246
00:16:04,280 --> 00:16:06,480
Speaker 6: like the first show that we opened for her. Oh yah,

247
00:16:06,920 --> 00:16:09,640
Speaker 6: And I felt the same, Like I like was moved

248
00:16:09,680 --> 00:16:12,920
Speaker 6: to like tears at her slower.

249
00:16:12,720 --> 00:16:16,520
Speaker 1: Songs because oh yeah, they're so beautiful, beautiful. I'm just

250
00:16:16,600 --> 00:16:19,800
Speaker 1: so happy that she's successful. Yeah, she's so good. Same

251
00:16:20,440 --> 00:16:24,200
Speaker 1: and her alone on the stage, Yeah, it made me

252
00:16:24,480 --> 00:16:27,080
Speaker 1: really kind of sad actually, but I know that was

253
00:16:27,360 --> 00:16:29,240
Speaker 1: part of the whole thing. But I loved how she

254
00:16:29,400 --> 00:16:32,360
Speaker 1: just carried the whole thing, yeah, and didn't need much.

255
00:16:33,120 --> 00:16:35,440
Speaker 1: The music was so good. Yeah, How did you like

256
00:16:35,560 --> 00:16:40,200
Speaker 1: that experience being on a stage that big? Have you

257
00:16:40,280 --> 00:16:42,680
Speaker 1: been on a lot of stages like that at this point? No?

258
00:16:43,400 --> 00:16:44,360
Speaker 1: As a band? No.

259
00:16:44,880 --> 00:16:48,400
Speaker 6: So we had a song on Bud Bunny's album, I

260
00:16:48,480 --> 00:16:52,560
Speaker 6: Don't have seen thee also insane. I know, it's amazing,

261
00:16:52,560 --> 00:16:54,800
Speaker 6: And it was like a slower song on his album too,

262
00:16:54,960 --> 00:16:58,360
Speaker 6: And and so I love that, like he like leaned

263
00:16:58,400 --> 00:17:02,120
Speaker 6: into that sort of sound. But so I had played

264
00:17:02,120 --> 00:17:06,040
Speaker 6: a few shows with him just on his tour playing

265
00:17:06,080 --> 00:17:08,280
Speaker 6: that song, and those were stadium shows.

266
00:17:08,400 --> 00:17:10,480
Speaker 1: You coming out on his yes, oking on his so

267
00:17:10,680 --> 00:17:13,320
Speaker 1: not as a whole set, correct, Yeah, oh man.

268
00:17:13,520 --> 00:17:18,480
Speaker 6: And that was my nervous system was like just it

269
00:17:18,600 --> 00:17:20,720
Speaker 6: was wrecking havoc on my nervous system because I was like,

270
00:17:20,800 --> 00:17:21,760
Speaker 6: oh my god, can I do this?

271
00:17:22,040 --> 00:17:22,399
Speaker 1: Can I not?

272
00:17:22,760 --> 00:17:25,520
Speaker 6: Two seconds before I'd go on stage, I'd be like, Okay,

273
00:17:25,520 --> 00:17:26,720
Speaker 6: I'm not gonna do this. I'm gonna walkway.

274
00:17:26,720 --> 00:17:27,679
Speaker 1: I'm gonna walk away right now.

275
00:17:28,000 --> 00:17:30,000
Speaker 6: And then he'd be like and no, you know Mdia

276
00:17:30,080 --> 00:17:32,280
Speaker 6: from the Marias, And I'm like, oh no, I have

277
00:17:32,440 --> 00:17:32,879
Speaker 6: to go on.

278
00:17:32,960 --> 00:17:33,520
Speaker 1: Stage right now.

279
00:17:34,280 --> 00:17:36,720
Speaker 6: But the second I was like up there and singing

280
00:17:36,800 --> 00:17:39,119
Speaker 6: with him, like all the nerves passed. But you know,

281
00:17:39,240 --> 00:17:41,320
Speaker 6: so I had the experience of playing on a big

282
00:17:41,359 --> 00:17:45,320
Speaker 6: stage like that, So everything since then has felt small.

283
00:17:45,840 --> 00:17:46,040
Speaker 4: You know.

284
00:17:46,119 --> 00:17:49,160
Speaker 1: When you you kind of you started big and yeah,

285
00:17:49,760 --> 00:17:53,120
Speaker 1: you're good, eighty thousand people in a stadium, I'm like, oh,

286
00:17:53,240 --> 00:17:56,640
Speaker 1: an arena, I'm good. I'm like good, I'm so good.

287
00:17:57,359 --> 00:17:59,400
Speaker 6: But it was the first time that like we as

288
00:17:59,440 --> 00:18:02,440
Speaker 6: a band and the guys had played on such a

289
00:18:02,480 --> 00:18:05,480
Speaker 6: big stage, and so we were, you know a little

290
00:18:05,480 --> 00:18:08,960
Speaker 6: bit nervous and just didn't really know what to expect.

291
00:18:09,000 --> 00:18:11,440
Speaker 6: If we would, you know, if our sound would like,

292
00:18:12,520 --> 00:18:18,479
Speaker 6: you know, be big enough for an arena, or if

293
00:18:18,520 --> 00:18:20,480
Speaker 6: our you know, if our presence would be big enough

294
00:18:20,480 --> 00:18:23,520
Speaker 6: for an arena. But thankfully, like we felt really comfortable,

295
00:18:23,880 --> 00:18:27,359
Speaker 6: and I think it helped that. So her shows were

296
00:18:27,440 --> 00:18:30,080
Speaker 6: like in the round. Yeah yeah, And so I think

297
00:18:30,160 --> 00:18:32,240
Speaker 6: that helped because you didn't just see a sea of

298
00:18:32,359 --> 00:18:33,200
Speaker 6: people in front of you.

299
00:18:33,720 --> 00:18:36,560
Speaker 1: You felt like you were a part of them. Yeah, Okay, yeah,

300
00:18:36,640 --> 00:18:40,040
Speaker 1: it felt more of like okay, yeah, yeah, like we

301
00:18:40,119 --> 00:18:41,560
Speaker 1: were all kind of in it together.

302
00:18:41,680 --> 00:18:46,639
Speaker 6: And yeah, I think that made it a lot easier

303
00:18:46,720 --> 00:18:49,560
Speaker 6: for us. But I think we like realized as a band, like, okay,

304
00:18:49,600 --> 00:18:50,600
Speaker 6: we can do arena as.

305
00:18:50,640 --> 00:18:51,080
Speaker 3: We got this.

306
00:18:51,920 --> 00:18:55,159
Speaker 1: We got this. It's funny when people try to be

307
00:18:55,320 --> 00:18:57,680
Speaker 1: some when they're not when they're playing a huge stage.

308
00:18:58,760 --> 00:19:00,280
Speaker 1: So as long as you keep a hold of who

309
00:19:00,359 --> 00:19:05,560
Speaker 1: you are totally yeah, And I thought about that watching

310
00:19:05,960 --> 00:19:10,479
Speaker 1: Billy Billy or on a first name basis, watching Billie Eilish,

311
00:19:10,600 --> 00:19:15,480
Speaker 1: I was sort of struck by how she still could

312
00:19:15,520 --> 00:19:18,159
Speaker 1: do all the intimate stuff and still carried and I

313
00:19:18,240 --> 00:19:21,440
Speaker 1: mean everybody was also really excited to be there. But

314
00:19:21,600 --> 00:19:25,119
Speaker 1: I also had never been to a pop concert before.

315
00:19:25,359 --> 00:19:27,640
Speaker 1: Oh wow, I've been to a million shows, but never

316
00:19:27,800 --> 00:19:31,880
Speaker 1: like a real pop arena show like that. I mean,

317
00:19:32,880 --> 00:19:36,160
Speaker 1: what's wrong with me? I grew up in jazz, Yeah,

318
00:19:36,720 --> 00:19:39,159
Speaker 1: so I went to a lot of jazz club shows.

319
00:19:39,240 --> 00:19:45,120
Speaker 1: But I thought it was amazing. But the whole culture

320
00:19:45,440 --> 00:19:49,520
Speaker 1: of the audience singing along, yeah, it's kind of intense. Yeah,

321
00:19:49,960 --> 00:19:52,480
Speaker 1: and I really just wanted I wanted them to be

322
00:19:52,600 --> 00:19:55,600
Speaker 1: quiet because I wanted to hear her saying she's so good.

323
00:19:55,800 --> 00:19:59,200
Speaker 1: And it was funny. Yeah, it was, but I got

324
00:19:59,280 --> 00:20:02,680
Speaker 1: it too. I get the collective energy of it is

325
00:20:02,800 --> 00:20:05,840
Speaker 1: really beautiful totally, but it was kind of funny. I

326
00:20:06,400 --> 00:20:08,200
Speaker 1: was also like shocked by it.

327
00:20:08,320 --> 00:20:08,800
Speaker 4: Yeah, were you?

328
00:20:09,359 --> 00:20:10,720
Speaker 1: Yeah, it was so loud.

329
00:20:10,880 --> 00:20:12,800
Speaker 6: Everyone was singing so loud, and I thought it was

330
00:20:12,840 --> 00:20:16,760
Speaker 6: so beautiful. But yeah, and crying and they were moved

331
00:20:16,800 --> 00:20:19,200
Speaker 6: to tears. And I remember there were a couple of

332
00:20:19,280 --> 00:20:22,560
Speaker 6: girls behind me, and you know, they were audibly just

333
00:20:22,840 --> 00:20:26,520
Speaker 6: you know, crying, and I just like put my hand

334
00:20:26,600 --> 00:20:29,160
Speaker 6: out behind me and I just like held their hand

335
00:20:29,240 --> 00:20:31,240
Speaker 6: for a second, and I just thought it was like

336
00:20:31,359 --> 00:20:34,919
Speaker 6: so beautiful because you do feel this collective energy when

337
00:20:34,920 --> 00:20:37,800
Speaker 6: everybody's singing along and like experiencing the same thing at

338
00:20:37,800 --> 00:20:38,360
Speaker 6: the same time.

339
00:20:38,480 --> 00:20:42,199
Speaker 1: It can. It can get intense because you feel everybody's

340
00:20:42,520 --> 00:20:45,040
Speaker 1: kind of emotions. Yeah, and everybody's egging each other on

341
00:20:45,320 --> 00:20:46,560
Speaker 1: yeah yeah yeah yeah.

342
00:20:46,600 --> 00:20:49,080
Speaker 6: If you cry, all cry yeah yeah, so I did

343
00:20:49,160 --> 00:20:50,159
Speaker 6: start crying, you know.

344
00:20:50,880 --> 00:20:54,159
Speaker 1: I kind of felt that too. Yeah, but that was

345
00:20:54,720 --> 00:20:56,359
Speaker 1: that was a first for me in terms of like

346
00:20:56,520 --> 00:21:02,879
Speaker 1: how loud. Yeah, how loud audience was outside? You had that? Yeah, same,

347
00:21:03,040 --> 00:21:08,000
Speaker 1: that's cool. Yeah, yeah, let's do it all right? Which

348
00:21:08,040 --> 00:21:11,200
Speaker 1: one should we do? I love when you sing in Spanish, Okay,

349
00:21:11,640 --> 00:21:13,639
Speaker 1: but I don't speak Spanish, so you're gonna have to

350
00:21:13,680 --> 00:21:18,800
Speaker 1: pronounce the song. Okay, which one are we doing? Leo? Yes, yes,

351
00:21:18,920 --> 00:21:21,720
Speaker 1: so leJOS. It means far from you, far from you.

352
00:21:21,880 --> 00:21:25,200
Speaker 1: That's beautiful. And every time I sing it, it just

353
00:21:25,320 --> 00:21:27,480
Speaker 1: reminds me. I'm the only one that's in La.

354
00:21:27,600 --> 00:21:30,720
Speaker 6: The rest of my family's in Puerto Rico and Georgia,

355
00:21:31,440 --> 00:21:33,159
Speaker 6: and so every time I sing it, I'm like, it

356
00:21:33,280 --> 00:21:35,000
Speaker 6: reminds me of my family.

357
00:21:35,359 --> 00:21:39,159
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, yeah yeah. Do you have siblings? Yeah? I

358
00:21:39,240 --> 00:21:42,880
Speaker 1: have two older brothers. Oh, the young and the girl.

359
00:21:43,280 --> 00:21:45,160
Speaker 1: Oh that's the whole thing. That is the whole thing.

360
00:21:45,200 --> 00:21:45,639
Speaker 2: What about you?

361
00:21:46,200 --> 00:21:48,359
Speaker 1: I grew up an only child, but I have a

362
00:21:48,400 --> 00:21:50,840
Speaker 1: half sister who I connected with as an adult, and

363
00:21:50,960 --> 00:21:53,679
Speaker 1: I've become pretty close, but it's not the same as

364
00:21:53,760 --> 00:21:57,320
Speaker 1: growing up together. Yeah, so being an only child, that's

365
00:21:57,320 --> 00:22:01,560
Speaker 1: the whole thing. Yeah, I feel like I had a

366
00:22:01,800 --> 00:22:03,800
Speaker 1: little piece of what that felt like.

367
00:22:03,920 --> 00:22:06,560
Speaker 6: This Christmas, I spent it with my parents and it

368
00:22:06,680 --> 00:22:09,520
Speaker 6: was just me and my mom and my dad, and

369
00:22:09,760 --> 00:22:12,119
Speaker 6: I was like, Okay, this is different, this is different.

370
00:22:12,200 --> 00:22:13,680
Speaker 1: I have a little taste of it, you know.

371
00:22:14,200 --> 00:22:17,520
Speaker 6: Yeah. My creative partner, Josh, who's in the band, he's

372
00:22:17,560 --> 00:22:19,920
Speaker 6: the drummer and producer, is an only child, and so

373
00:22:20,040 --> 00:22:21,399
Speaker 6: I told him. I was like, I feel like I

374
00:22:22,240 --> 00:22:26,120
Speaker 6: can like empathize with you a little bit, a tiny bit,

375
00:22:26,600 --> 00:22:30,000
Speaker 6: just from what I experienced on Christmas. But yeah, it's interesting.

376
00:22:31,320 --> 00:22:31,800
Speaker 3: It's a lot.

377
00:22:32,200 --> 00:22:35,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, yeah, it can be a lot. Yeah. This

378
00:22:35,640 --> 00:22:38,200
Speaker 1: one's hard to sing. So I'm gonna just hope for

379
00:22:38,280 --> 00:22:38,920
Speaker 1: the best on it.

380
00:22:39,200 --> 00:22:39,479
Speaker 11: Me too.

381
00:22:39,720 --> 00:22:42,359
Speaker 1: The only thing is my Spanish is no, no brain.

382
00:22:44,480 --> 00:22:48,200
Speaker 1: I don't want to mess it up. Yeah, whatever you

383
00:22:48,200 --> 00:22:50,320
Speaker 1: feel comfortable with you if you don't want to, that's okay.

384
00:22:50,440 --> 00:22:52,640
Speaker 1: I should have learned it better in Spanish. I'm so sorry.

385
00:22:52,680 --> 00:22:56,320
Speaker 1: You're fine. I'll make it intense. Yeah, okay, cool sounds good.

409
00:26:21,400 --> 00:26:24,920
Speaker 6: I'm just talking about things that remind me of them,

410
00:26:25,720 --> 00:26:28,439
Speaker 6: like the cold and the night and their sad eyes

411
00:26:28,720 --> 00:26:33,119
Speaker 6: and how I slept on their chest, and just different

412
00:26:33,160 --> 00:26:35,680
Speaker 6: things that reminded me of them, and then hoping and

413
00:26:35,840 --> 00:26:38,159
Speaker 6: saying that just please don't forget about me.

414
00:26:38,640 --> 00:26:41,600
Speaker 1: Oh my god, I know, you know, because at the

415
00:26:41,720 --> 00:26:42,280
Speaker 1: end of you know.

416
00:26:42,920 --> 00:26:47,760
Speaker 6: A relationship, I think it's easy for, you know, for

417
00:26:47,920 --> 00:26:50,760
Speaker 6: people to just want to go super eternal sunshine with

418
00:26:50,840 --> 00:26:53,879
Speaker 6: it and just forget everything and want to forget about

419
00:26:53,920 --> 00:26:59,280
Speaker 6: you and you know, and that's that's a way to cope, right.

420
00:26:59,400 --> 00:27:03,920
Speaker 6: But I feel like, no matter what, I'll always hold

421
00:27:04,000 --> 00:27:08,280
Speaker 6: on to, you know, the memories, because as difficult as

422
00:27:08,320 --> 00:27:11,760
Speaker 6: a heartbreak might be, I think it makes you who

423
00:27:11,840 --> 00:27:15,000
Speaker 6: you are and you carry that with you on your next.

424
00:27:14,920 --> 00:27:19,359
Speaker 1: Relationship, like what you've learned and and and it makes you,

425
00:27:19,440 --> 00:27:22,719
Speaker 1: I think, a better person and a stronger person to remember,

426
00:27:23,359 --> 00:27:26,200
Speaker 1: you know, all the memories and moments. That's really beautiful.

427
00:27:26,240 --> 00:27:29,960
Speaker 1: It's also it's just part of your life. Yeah, that's sweet.

428
00:27:30,600 --> 00:27:35,280
Speaker 1: You've had your fair share of heartbreak. Yeah, you know,

429
00:27:36,320 --> 00:27:40,359
Speaker 1: people always want to know, oh, what's that song about?

430
00:27:40,440 --> 00:27:44,480
Speaker 1: And I'm always a little kg about it. But I

431
00:27:44,520 --> 00:27:47,040
Speaker 1: don't know how you are. But yeah, I think it's

432
00:27:47,119 --> 00:27:51,240
Speaker 1: like pretty obvious. Usually, Yeah, I'm usually if you can't

433
00:27:51,320 --> 00:27:53,600
Speaker 1: really feel the n I don't know what to do.

434
00:27:53,720 --> 00:27:57,280
Speaker 1: I'm going to explain it to you. Yeah, there was

435
00:27:57,400 --> 00:27:58,280
Speaker 1: one song.

436
00:28:00,160 --> 00:28:02,720
Speaker 6: Like drawing a blank right now, But the lyrics are

437
00:28:02,840 --> 00:28:06,160
Speaker 6: so honest, and you're talking about you know, going over

438
00:28:06,280 --> 00:28:08,040
Speaker 6: the bridge into Brooklyn and.

439
00:28:08,240 --> 00:28:10,800
Speaker 1: Oh back to Manhattan. Yes, back to me. Oh yeah

440
00:28:11,560 --> 00:28:11,960
Speaker 1: that one.

441
00:28:12,119 --> 00:28:17,040
Speaker 6: I listened to that song and it's just like the lyrics.

442
00:28:17,080 --> 00:28:20,679
Speaker 6: I was like, how did she how like she's inside

443
00:28:20,720 --> 00:28:23,560
Speaker 6: my brain? Like how or how are we living the

444
00:28:23,640 --> 00:28:24,639
Speaker 6: same experience?

445
00:28:24,720 --> 00:28:24,879
Speaker 1: You know?

446
00:28:25,800 --> 00:28:29,720
Speaker 6: And and that's beautiful because it's like, no matter like

447
00:28:30,040 --> 00:28:32,159
Speaker 6: how personal or what the song is to you, other

448
00:28:32,240 --> 00:28:34,800
Speaker 6: people are gonna you know, relate to it as if

449
00:28:35,600 --> 00:28:37,680
Speaker 6: you know, I mean, we're human, like we we go

450
00:28:37,800 --> 00:28:39,800
Speaker 6: through the same and similar experiences and.

451
00:28:40,040 --> 00:28:44,640
Speaker 1: Over and over over and over. Right, So that song

452
00:28:44,920 --> 00:28:48,360
Speaker 1: most recently spoke to me. Wow, I haven't done that

453
00:28:48,400 --> 00:28:51,240
Speaker 1: on a long time. It's pretty so beautiful. Yeah, it's

454
00:28:51,560 --> 00:28:54,200
Speaker 1: it's interesting because I, yeah, I always I don't want

455
00:28:54,240 --> 00:28:57,479
Speaker 1: to overexplain songs because I like that the people can

456
00:28:57,560 --> 00:29:00,640
Speaker 1: take them and make them their own when listening, and

457
00:29:00,680 --> 00:29:02,480
Speaker 1: I don't want to be like this detail And then

458
00:29:02,520 --> 00:29:06,840
Speaker 1: they're like what, yeah, you know, yeah, so your band?

459
00:29:07,960 --> 00:29:10,680
Speaker 1: How long have you guys been together? How did it start?

460
00:29:11,720 --> 00:29:15,200
Speaker 1: I think it started is seven years ago I end

461
00:29:15,240 --> 00:29:17,120
Speaker 1: of twenty sixteen. That's a long time.

462
00:29:17,640 --> 00:29:20,960
Speaker 6: I had just moved to LA and I didn't know anyone.

463
00:29:21,040 --> 00:29:23,200
Speaker 6: I knew just that one friend that really thinking about

464
00:29:23,400 --> 00:29:27,560
Speaker 6: nobody really just that I didn't know anything about La.

465
00:29:27,640 --> 00:29:31,680
Speaker 6: The only you know, preconceived thing that I knew about

466
00:29:31,800 --> 00:29:34,800
Speaker 6: LA was, oh, it's like Hollywood. You know the stars,

467
00:29:34,920 --> 00:29:36,840
Speaker 6: and you know, when you're from a small town, that's

468
00:29:36,920 --> 00:29:38,760
Speaker 6: kind of like what you I don't know what you

469
00:29:38,880 --> 00:29:40,840
Speaker 6: think of Hollywood or Los Angeles.

470
00:29:40,960 --> 00:29:41,920
Speaker 1: But so I knew nothing.

471
00:29:42,800 --> 00:29:44,080
Speaker 6: And so when I got here, I was like, you

472
00:29:44,160 --> 00:29:46,200
Speaker 6: know what, I'm just going to play wherever they'll have me,

473
00:29:46,840 --> 00:29:48,520
Speaker 6: like me and a guitar open mics.

474
00:29:48,680 --> 00:29:49,920
Speaker 1: Like, were you writing songs already?

475
00:29:50,080 --> 00:29:50,240
Speaker 4: Yeah?

476
00:29:50,280 --> 00:29:54,840
Speaker 1: I was writing songs and performing in Georgia. How when

477
00:29:54,920 --> 00:29:55,760
Speaker 1: did you start writing?

478
00:29:58,040 --> 00:29:58,840
Speaker 10: You know, when I was.

479
00:29:58,880 --> 00:30:03,720
Speaker 6: Little, but I think songwriting like full songs, I'd say,

480
00:30:03,800 --> 00:30:05,640
Speaker 6: like just out of high school. So you know, it

481
00:30:05,840 --> 00:30:10,120
Speaker 6: wasn't it was a fairly new new thing of like

482
00:30:10,280 --> 00:30:13,440
Speaker 6: learning structurally song and the chords on the guitar and

483
00:30:14,080 --> 00:30:15,760
Speaker 6: you know, and all of that was I was seeing

484
00:30:16,640 --> 00:30:18,160
Speaker 6: a guy at the time who was a songwriter and

485
00:30:18,240 --> 00:30:21,600
Speaker 6: he kind of like just watching him craft songs kind

486
00:30:21,600 --> 00:30:23,840
Speaker 6: of helped me develop that.

487
00:30:24,080 --> 00:30:25,840
Speaker 1: But so yeah.

488
00:30:25,880 --> 00:30:27,880
Speaker 6: I came to la without knowing anything, and then I

489
00:30:28,000 --> 00:30:29,600
Speaker 6: was like, well, I'm just going to reach out to

490
00:30:29,600 --> 00:30:33,080
Speaker 6: anybody who'll have me play everywhere, and so I'd play

491
00:30:33,160 --> 00:30:36,720
Speaker 6: so many open mics, random restaurants, like just so many

492
00:30:36,840 --> 00:30:39,760
Speaker 6: random things. And one of the random gigs it was

493
00:30:40,480 --> 00:30:43,720
Speaker 6: called the Laurel Canyon Music Revival at the kid It's

494
00:30:43,800 --> 00:30:47,720

00:32:11,840 --> 00:32:15,000
Speaker 6: wrote not in a romantic relationship.

526
00:32:14,480 --> 00:32:15,760

530
00:32:26,080 --> 00:32:30,280
Speaker 1: It's really sad otherwise if you have a musical connection totally,

531
00:32:30,480 --> 00:32:34,280
Speaker 1: it's hard to lose that with the the everything, And it's.

532
00:32:34,160 --> 00:32:36,880
Speaker 6: Honestly made us like stronger as a band because it's

533
00:32:36,960 --> 00:32:39,480
Speaker 6: no longer Josh and Marie the couple and then the

534
00:32:39,520 --> 00:32:43,160
Speaker 6: best friends. Now it's like a collective unit where I'm

535
00:32:43,400 --> 00:32:46,520
Speaker 6: best friends with all of them now and feel comfortable

536
00:32:46,560 --> 00:32:48,440
Speaker 6: with all of them and they feel comfortable with me, and.

537
00:32:49,920 --> 00:32:51,640
Speaker 1: It just feels like more of a collective.

538
00:32:51,760 --> 00:32:51,880
Speaker 10: Now.

539
00:32:52,440 --> 00:32:55,920
Speaker 1: Well, the album's beautiful, so you yeah, and you still

540
00:32:55,960 --> 00:32:57,920
Speaker 1: wrote all the songs together. Yeah, we still wrote all

541
00:32:57,920 --> 00:33:01,120
Speaker 1: these songs together. They're not all about our breakup or

542
00:33:01,200 --> 00:33:04,960
Speaker 1: our relationship, but yeah, we read them all together. That's good.

543
00:33:05,920 --> 00:33:09,160
Speaker 1: It's weird. You must be almost like closer in a way,

544
00:33:09,520 --> 00:33:10,960
Speaker 1: writing in a writing way.

545
00:33:11,040 --> 00:33:14,840
Speaker 6: I mean we are, Yeah, we are, just because we

546
00:33:15,000 --> 00:33:17,400
Speaker 6: went through so much and you know, after we broke up,

547
00:33:17,520 --> 00:33:21,200
Speaker 6: we you know, we still wanted the band to stay together.

548
00:33:21,280 --> 00:33:23,600
Speaker 6: We just didn't know how because it had started with

549
00:33:23,720 --> 00:33:26,600
Speaker 6: us in a relationship. So we were like, well, if

550
00:33:26,640 --> 00:33:29,520
Speaker 6: we're not in a relationship, can this band work? But

551
00:33:29,640 --> 00:33:31,400
Speaker 6: we did a lot of like self work. We went

552
00:33:31,440 --> 00:33:36,040
Speaker 6: to therapy and together and as a band and individually,

553
00:33:36,360 --> 00:33:40,240
Speaker 6: and that's amazing, and just went through all the awkward

554
00:33:40,320 --> 00:33:43,760
Speaker 6: moments and just came out on the other end like

555
00:33:45,200 --> 00:33:47,240
Speaker 6: just understanding each other in like a whole new way

556
00:33:47,720 --> 00:33:49,960
Speaker 6: and appreciating each other in a whole new way.

557
00:33:51,640 --> 00:33:55,800
Speaker 1: And as friends, which is just so beautiful. That's so evolved,

558
00:33:56,480 --> 00:33:59,320
Speaker 1: you know what I mean. It's like in the seventies.

559
00:33:59,440 --> 00:34:01,640
Speaker 1: Do you think, you know, if they could have all

560
00:34:01,720 --> 00:34:05,200
Speaker 1: done that? I know, I know, you know, yeah, but

561
00:34:05,320 --> 00:34:08,120
Speaker 1: it meant I mean, you know, music was number one

562
00:34:08,200 --> 00:34:11,160
Speaker 1: for all of us, and you have such a good thing. Yeah,

563
00:34:11,239 --> 00:34:13,920
Speaker 1: you don't want to lose that totally. That's great. I'm

564

583
00:35:19,000 --> 00:35:21,880
Speaker 6: and that was something that was really important for me

584
00:35:22,000 --> 00:35:24,800
Speaker 6: because early on in the touring days, it was just

585
00:35:24,920 --> 00:35:28,520
Speaker 6: me and the guys and their friends, and so I was,

586

587
00:35:30,840 --> 00:35:32,480

Speaker 1: you start being the dirtiest joke telling Yeah, yeah, totally.

591
00:35:41,880 --> 00:35:45,239
Speaker 6: Yeah, but you know, they're just you know, it did

592
00:35:45,320 --> 00:35:47,759
Speaker 6: get to be a little bit lonely because it felt like, Okay,

593
00:35:47,800 --> 00:35:51,680
Speaker 6: I'm I'm here with you know, a bunch of a

594
00:35:51,760 --> 00:35:53,759
Speaker 6: group of best friends and it you know, and so

595
00:35:53,840 --> 00:35:57,040
Speaker 6: I was hanging out a lot by myself and having

596
00:35:57,080 --> 00:36:01,279
Speaker 6: a lot of these like solo experiences, and now with

597
00:36:01,440 --> 00:36:04,200
Speaker 6: so many women on our team, I just I don't know,

598
00:36:04,320 --> 00:36:07,120
Speaker 6: it's just it's like a different dynamic and I love it,

599
00:36:07,280 --> 00:36:08,480
Speaker 6: and it was really important for me.

600
00:36:09,040 --> 00:36:11,600
Speaker 1: How are your early touring days like, Well, in my

601
00:36:11,719 --> 00:36:16,160
Speaker 1: early touring days, my bass player was my boyfriend, Oh ok,

602
00:36:16,480 --> 00:36:18,720
Speaker 1: and we go. He wrote a lot of songs exactly.

603
00:36:19,120 --> 00:36:20,800
Speaker 1: He wrote a lot of songs on my first record,

604
00:36:20,920 --> 00:36:23,600
Speaker 1: and I had just gotten into songwriting, and then on

605
00:36:23,680 --> 00:36:25,560
Speaker 1: the second record, we wrote a lot of songs together

606
00:36:25,800 --> 00:36:29,279
Speaker 1: and it was amazing. It was it was really nice

607
00:36:29,360 --> 00:36:33,799
Speaker 1: having it all together. And at the time, my best

608
00:36:33,840 --> 00:36:38,480
Speaker 1: friend was in my band, a woman, and she ended

609
00:36:38,560 --> 00:36:40,719
Speaker 1: up dating the drummer, and so for a long time

610
00:36:40,800 --> 00:36:44,840
Speaker 1: it was like this crazy Fleetwood Mac. We didn't know

611
00:36:44,840 --> 00:36:48,279
Speaker 1: swet Journey, but it was just really fun. Yeah yeah,

612
00:36:48,360 --> 00:36:50,920
Speaker 1: I mean there was some stress in the beginning, but

613
00:36:50,960 --> 00:36:53,440
Speaker 1: once we kind of settled in, it was it was amazing.

614
00:36:53,800 --> 00:36:56,800
Speaker 1: We were all best friends and it all kind of imploded.

615
00:36:57,600 --> 00:37:00,839
Speaker 1: But if we had gone to therapy probably it would

616
00:37:00,840 --> 00:37:04,160
Speaker 1: have done a lot better after that. Sometimes things end

617
00:37:04,239 --> 00:37:06,239
Speaker 1: at the right time, though. Yeah, yeah, we had a

618
00:37:06,320 --> 00:37:11,759
Speaker 1: good time. I would love to do another song. Yeah, yeah,

619
00:37:11,920 --> 00:37:16,719

Speaker 1: Oh my god. It's just such a beautiful, crazy yeah,

693
00:43:34,560 --> 00:43:37,040
Speaker 1: thank you. It's kind of the first song I ever

694
00:43:37,160 --> 00:43:40,960
Speaker 1: wrote that I liked. I wrote a couple of songs

695
00:43:41,000 --> 00:43:43,080
Speaker 1: in high school that I you wrote it this in

696
00:43:43,160 --> 00:43:45,080
Speaker 1: high school? No, No, I wrote a couple of songs

697
00:43:46,880 --> 00:43:49,040
Speaker 1: I wish were performing ourts high school, and I encouraged

698
00:43:49,120 --> 00:43:52,040
Speaker 1: us to write songs, which was so cool. But I

699
00:43:52,080 --> 00:43:54,719
Speaker 1: wrote these two songs and I just we ended up

700
00:43:54,760 --> 00:43:58,040
Speaker 1: recording them because they had recording equipment, which I think

701
00:43:58,160 --> 00:44:00,680
Speaker 1: was my downfall because I didn't like how it turned out,

702
00:44:01,800 --> 00:44:04,879
Speaker 1: and I was like, I'm not a good songwriter, oh,

703
00:44:05,560 --> 00:44:07,440
Speaker 1: you know, like, because I didn't like the way it was.

704
00:44:07,680 --> 00:44:09,960
Speaker 1: And when I moved to New York, I started going

705
00:44:10,000 --> 00:44:12,040
Speaker 1: to see a bunch of singer songwriters the living room.

706
00:44:12,800 --> 00:44:15,920
Speaker 1: And I didn't have a piano, of course, because I

707
00:44:16,000 --> 00:44:18,440
Speaker 1: lived in a tiny apartment. But I had a crappy

708
00:44:18,480 --> 00:44:20,680
Speaker 1: little guitar and I knew a few chords, and so

709
00:44:20,800 --> 00:44:24,120
Speaker 1: I came back after being inspired all night seeing all

710
00:44:24,160 --> 00:44:26,440
Speaker 1: these songwriters, and I just sat in my room at

711
00:44:26,480 --> 00:44:28,560
Speaker 1: like three in the morning and I wrote come Away

712
00:44:28,600 --> 00:44:28,759
Speaker 1: with Me.

713
00:44:29,040 --> 00:44:29,200
Speaker 11: Oh.

714
00:44:30,320 --> 00:44:32,560
Speaker 1: I wrote it in a notebook with the chord changes

715
00:44:32,600 --> 00:44:36,200
Speaker 1: over it, and I wrote like one, two, three, one five,

716
00:44:37,000 --> 00:44:39,760
Speaker 1: Like I tried to notate the notes so I wouldn't

717
00:44:39,800 --> 00:44:42,919
Speaker 1: forget it because I didn't know how to remember it. Yeah,

718
00:44:43,040 --> 00:44:46,680
Speaker 1: that's that's wild. And I'm pretty sure the original version

719
00:44:46,719 --> 00:44:49,239
Speaker 1: of it was way better. But what I remembered is

720
00:44:49,280 --> 00:44:52,480
Speaker 1: what we have. Oh my god, No, But isn't that friend?

721
00:44:52,960 --> 00:44:55,359
Speaker 6: Because yeah, I'm sure the song is a little bit

722
00:44:55,400 --> 00:44:56,759
Speaker 6: different than when you first wrote it.

723
00:44:56,880 --> 00:44:58,480
Speaker 1: Probably a little different, yea.

724
00:44:59,120 --> 00:45:01,279
Speaker 6: But how amazing that you could remember it, I know,

725
00:45:01,440 --> 00:45:04,640
Speaker 6: because there are moments that you don't remember anything that. Yeah,

726
00:45:04,719 --> 00:45:06,719
Speaker 6: that that it's a fleeting song. It comes in and

727
00:45:06,800 --> 00:45:09,040
Speaker 6: out of you in like an instant. And you know,

728
00:45:09,280 --> 00:45:12,000
Speaker 6: there have been so many songs that that I'll write

729
00:45:12,040 --> 00:45:13,120
Speaker 6: and they'll be like, oh, how did that go?

730
00:45:13,239 --> 00:45:14,800
Speaker 1: And it's just gone forever now, But you know, it

731
00:45:14,880 --> 00:45:16,960
Speaker 1: was the greatest song in the world. Some songs are

732
00:45:17,040 --> 00:45:19,719
Speaker 1: just meant to be ours, Like, yeah, to be experienced

733
00:45:19,880 --> 00:45:23,719
Speaker 1: just on our own, I think, yes. But it sure

734
00:45:23,800 --> 00:45:25,560
Speaker 1: is nice when you can you can share take that

735
00:45:25,760 --> 00:45:29,200
Speaker 1: inspiration totally, totally.

736
00:45:29,400 --> 00:45:33,320
Speaker 6: Yeah, I love imagining you in like your New York apartment,

737
00:45:33,960 --> 00:45:37,400
Speaker 6: just a guitar, like in the dark, like writing this

738
00:45:37,560 --> 00:45:40,839
Speaker 6: after just listening to an amazing, amazing shows all night.

739
00:45:41,080 --> 00:45:42,680

Speaker 1: but yeah, but I mean it came out of nowhere.

746
00:46:01,040 --> 00:46:03,120
Speaker 1: It came out of nowhere. But it's also just so simple.

Speaker 1: so pretty, so pretty. Oh my god, back to my bedroom.

788
00:50:36,800 --> 00:50:39,919
Speaker 1: I know, in the nineteen ninety nine writing this song

789
00:50:40,160 --> 00:50:47,120
Speaker 1: Wow four in the morning, Wow, sad hopeful girl, it

790
00:50:47,280 --> 00:50:49,279
Speaker 1: was like I was really writing it to no one

791
00:50:49,320 --> 00:50:53,759
Speaker 1: in particular, you know, like mister your Future Yeah, like

792
00:50:53,800 --> 00:50:56,719
Speaker 1: Prince Charmy. It was basically a song from Prince for

793
00:50:56,840 --> 00:51:02,080
Speaker 1: your future future love exactly. That's beautiful. But I like

794
00:51:02,200 --> 00:51:06,239
Speaker 1: how open you seem. Yeah. I don't find that all

795
00:51:06,360 --> 00:51:10,399
Speaker 1: people are like that musicians, And I think it's great

796
00:51:11,600 --> 00:51:15,359
Speaker 1: because you're going to find all kinds of crazy things

797
00:51:15,400 --> 00:51:17,560
Speaker 1: that way. Yeah, you're going to catch it all. You

798
00:51:17,680 --> 00:51:19,400
Speaker 1: just never know. Yeah, you never know you're going to

799
00:51:19,480 --> 00:51:22,200
Speaker 1: catch when you're just open. Yeah, yeah exactly. I think

800
00:51:22,239 --> 00:51:26,080
Speaker 1: that's cool. My favorite experiences making records have been when

801
00:51:26,120 --> 00:51:28,440
Speaker 1: I go in with almost just a few ideas but

802
00:51:28,560 --> 00:51:30,879
Speaker 1: no real songs. Yeah, and expectations.

803
00:51:30,960 --> 00:51:31,120
Speaker 7: Yeah.

804
00:51:31,160 --> 00:51:32,920
Speaker 1: I didn't learn how to do that though, until I

805
00:51:33,040 --> 00:51:35,680
Speaker 1: made that Danger Mouse record and Carly. It was a

806
00:51:35,719 --> 00:51:37,879
Speaker 1: good It was a good like maybe eight nine years

807
00:51:37,920 --> 00:51:40,880
Speaker 1: into my career. So that was one of my favorite records.

808
00:51:41,040 --> 00:51:42,879
Speaker 1: Oh thanks, I remember one of mine too.

809
00:51:43,239 --> 00:51:46,680
Speaker 6: Yeah. Like when it came out Putting Headphones on, I

810
00:51:46,800 --> 00:51:48,480
Speaker 6: was working at the creative agency I was telling you

811
00:51:48,520 --> 00:51:50,040
Speaker 6: about I was supposed to be working.

812
00:51:50,120 --> 00:51:52,960
Speaker 1: I was like, no, no, no, like, I'm listening to

813
00:51:53,120 --> 00:51:56,040
Speaker 1: music right now, sad girl music. I like, put on

814
00:51:56,120 --> 00:51:57,800
Speaker 1: my dude, not disturb or whatever. And I was like,

815
00:51:57,840 --> 00:52:01,879
Speaker 1: I'm listening to this and I it was so beautiful. Yeah,

816
00:52:01,920 --> 00:52:04,200
Speaker 1: that was an interesting record. Did you make that? We

817
00:52:04,320 --> 00:52:07,319
Speaker 1: made it in La and I had already known him.

818
00:52:07,360 --> 00:52:09,480
Speaker 1: We had done a project together where I sang on

819
00:52:09,640 --> 00:52:12,640
Speaker 1: his record called Rome, and I asked him to make

820
00:52:12,840 --> 00:52:15,000
Speaker 1: a record I made called The Fall. I had all

821
00:52:15,040 --> 00:52:19,120
Speaker 1: these songs. Was after a breakup, but the songs were

822
00:52:19,160 --> 00:52:22,200
Speaker 1: all done and I really wanted them to shine, you know,

823
00:52:23,160 --> 00:52:24,239
Speaker 1: And I asked him to make it with me, and

824
00:52:24,320 --> 00:52:26,480
Speaker 1: he said, you know, that's not really how I work.

825
00:52:27,320 --> 00:52:30,799
Speaker 1: I'd rather you come in and we just write stuff together.

826
00:52:31,000 --> 00:52:33,120
Speaker 1: That's sort of more what I'm good at and what

827
00:52:33,280 --> 00:52:35,640
Speaker 1: I like to do. And I was confused by it

828
00:52:35,760 --> 00:52:38,480
Speaker 1: at first. I didn't understand it. I was like, all right,

829
00:52:38,640 --> 00:52:40,279
Speaker 1: So I made The Fall. I did all that and

830
00:52:40,320 --> 00:52:42,240
Speaker 1: then I was like, all right, you want to try something,

831
00:52:42,360 --> 00:52:43,960
Speaker 1: So we did. So all of these songs you guys

832
00:52:44,000 --> 00:52:46,879
Speaker 1: made in the room together. Yeah, there was a couple

833
00:52:46,920 --> 00:52:49,480
Speaker 1: of snippets of ideas, but yeah.

834
00:52:49,480 --> 00:52:52,440
Speaker 6: That's yeah, that's my favorite way of making music too,

835
00:52:52,680 --> 00:52:56,799
Speaker 6: just kind of going in without and just seeing seeing

836
00:52:56,840 --> 00:52:57,400
Speaker 6: what happens.

837
00:52:57,560 --> 00:53:00,719
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean the collaboration between two people, you have

838
00:53:00,920 --> 00:53:03,880
Speaker 1: trust and openness. This is the best. Yeah, I mean

839
00:53:03,960 --> 00:53:06,560
Speaker 1: I loved that record. I want to know more. Oh,

840
00:53:08,280 --> 00:53:10,919
Speaker 1: you know the dish, the real off my Dish now, Yes,

841
00:53:12,239 --> 00:53:14,719
Speaker 1: because I relate to a lot of those songs, like

842
00:53:15,000 --> 00:53:17,920
Speaker 1: I'm like, did we live through a similar experience? But

843
00:53:18,160 --> 00:53:21,279
Speaker 1: this is awful record. You know.

844
00:53:21,360 --> 00:53:24,880
Speaker 6: It's funny because and a lot of the recent songs

845
00:53:24,880 --> 00:53:27,360
Speaker 6: that I'm writing, you know, I think you break up

846
00:53:27,440 --> 00:53:29,560
Speaker 6: and then the real aftermath of a breakup is when

847
00:53:29,560 --> 00:53:30,120
Speaker 6: they start.

848
00:53:29,960 --> 00:53:30,719
Speaker 1: Seeing someone new.

849
00:53:31,080 --> 00:53:32,960
Speaker 5: Yeah, oh you have to deal with it.

850
00:53:33,239 --> 00:53:35,759
Speaker 1: So you have to deal with them seeing someone new.

851
00:53:35,800 --> 00:53:37,120
Speaker 6: And so a lot of the songs that I'm writing

852
00:53:37,160 --> 00:53:39,520
Speaker 6: now are from the perspective of like, you know, you're

853
00:53:40,120 --> 00:53:43,200
Speaker 6: of to the guy, like you're seeing this new person.

854
00:53:44,040 --> 00:53:47,719
Speaker 6: But I'm like, I I kind of want to write

855
00:53:47,719 --> 00:53:51,879
Speaker 6: a song to the girl. Oh yeah, and be like, hey,

856
00:53:52,920 --> 00:53:56,240
Speaker 6: maybe look out for a couple of these things mornings.

857
00:53:56,800 --> 00:54:00,560
Speaker 1: You know, that's a cool idea. Did you find into that, like.

858
00:54:02,160 --> 00:54:05,320
Speaker 6: You know, playing the songs or touring the songs like

859
00:54:05,480 --> 00:54:07,719
Speaker 6: after they were so fresh and raw?

860
00:54:07,840 --> 00:54:09,880
Speaker 1: Like how is that for you? Because you know, we

861
00:54:10,000 --> 00:54:13,400
Speaker 1: wrote the record and then immediately toured it and I

862
00:54:13,440 --> 00:54:15,919
Speaker 1: couldn't play Sienna for the first really, if you show,

863
00:54:15,960 --> 00:54:17,279
Speaker 1: I would just like break down. I was like, I

864
00:54:17,320 --> 00:54:20,719
Speaker 1: can't do this. Yeah, it was still so raw. I

865
00:54:20,760 --> 00:54:26,239
Speaker 1: could see that it was okay. I feel like it

866
00:54:26,360 --> 00:54:31,160
Speaker 1: was a big record cycle push and people kept asking

867
00:54:31,200 --> 00:54:33,160
Speaker 1: me about it and I just kept putting it to

868
00:54:33,320 --> 00:54:36,799
Speaker 1: the side and shutting down part of it. I think

869
00:54:36,840 --> 00:54:39,040
Speaker 1: at that point it had dissipated a little and I

870
00:54:39,120 --> 00:54:43,520
Speaker 1: was already seeing someone and I didn't feel as raw

871
00:54:43,520 --> 00:54:47,520
Speaker 1: about it. Yeah, but I liked the drama of it,

872
00:54:49,000 --> 00:54:52,320
Speaker 1: so I leaned into the drama because the drama was

873
00:54:52,480 --> 00:54:55,200
Speaker 1: dramatic when it was happening. But yeah, by the time

874
00:54:55,320 --> 00:54:59,239
Speaker 1: the record came out, none of that felt thick. Yeah. Yeah,

875
00:55:00,520 --> 00:55:05,160
Speaker 1: that's hard though, and also you're together doing yeah yeah yeah,

876
00:55:05,360 --> 00:55:07,080
Speaker 1: And and like I said, not all of the songs

877
00:55:07,080 --> 00:55:09,399
Speaker 1: are about you know, I was in a relationship after

878
00:55:10,080 --> 00:55:13,600
Speaker 1: him and I had broken up. But you know, that's

879
00:55:13,600 --> 00:55:17,440
Speaker 1: another dynamic of he knows, Okay, this song's not about me,

880
00:55:17,560 --> 00:55:20,959
Speaker 1: I have to sing it, oh, per form it knowing

881
00:55:21,040 --> 00:55:24,200
Speaker 1: who it's about, you know, and so that that's also

882
00:55:24,280 --> 00:55:27,640
Speaker 1: another part of our dynamic. That's all that we're getting through,

883
00:55:27,680 --> 00:55:31,960
Speaker 1: and that's pretty interesting. That is interesting. Well, this was

884
00:55:32,040 --> 00:55:32,719
Speaker 1: the juicy bit.

885
00:55:33,000 --> 00:55:33,400
Speaker 11: It was.

886
00:55:37,400 --> 00:55:40,880
