00:01:46,440 --> 00:01:47,480
Speaker 2: the world, and.

34
00:01:47,520 --> 00:01:50,800
Speaker 4: We're part of the nation, so so different than you

35
00:01:51,120 --> 00:01:55,280
Speaker 4: and the two of you seeing what's going on is

36
00:01:55,320 --> 00:01:59,200
Speaker 4: it's too much. I felt negativity, too much back and

37
00:01:59,240 --> 00:02:02,000
Speaker 4: forth politically, socially, and.

38
00:02:03,720 --> 00:02:05,920
Speaker 2: I guess more it just.

39
00:02:05,920 --> 00:02:10,400
Speaker 4: So organically happened that about five years ago I wrote

40
00:02:10,400 --> 00:02:11,600
Speaker 4: the songs idea.

41
00:02:12,639 --> 00:02:15,240
Speaker 2: I had the title Kimmy Fix Our Nation's Broken Heart.

42
00:02:16,440 --> 00:02:21,639
Speaker 4: And about two years after that, I met someone through

43
00:02:21,639 --> 00:02:26,080
Speaker 4: a friend, Molly Vanna, and I knew he was a vote,

44
00:02:26,200 --> 00:02:28,960
Speaker 4: you know, and did vocal training and all that. But

45
00:02:29,639 --> 00:02:30,880
Speaker 4: as my friend told.

46
00:02:30,639 --> 00:02:32,880
Speaker 2: Me, she just said that he's a great songwriter.

47
00:02:33,520 --> 00:02:35,839
Speaker 4: So I had been messing with that song and never

48
00:02:35,880 --> 00:02:38,800
Speaker 4: came up with exactly the lyric that I wanted, and

49
00:02:38,840 --> 00:02:42,840
Speaker 4: I told it would become a nice to have someone too,

50
00:02:43,800 --> 00:02:46,240
Speaker 4: you know, knew to do something with the.

51
00:02:46,240 --> 00:02:49,040
Speaker 2: Lyric and see what happens. And Molly came up with

52
00:02:49,080 --> 00:02:52,440
Speaker 2: a great lyric, and so we got this song. And

53
00:02:52,639 --> 00:02:55,160
Speaker 2: when I did the vocal, when I finally heard the words,

54
00:02:55,919 --> 00:02:57,079
Speaker 2: I said, you know, this is.

55
00:02:57,080 --> 00:03:00,400
Speaker 4: Exactly what I want, went in the studio dim of

56
00:03:00,520 --> 00:03:06,799
Speaker 4: the song, fel good about it, and decided to call it,

57
00:03:07,440 --> 00:03:10,600
Speaker 4: you know, to do a tour and call it sing

58
00:03:10,639 --> 00:03:14,080
Speaker 4: your song as me six on Nations broken Heart. And

59
00:03:14,160 --> 00:03:17,200
Speaker 4: I just think that music has always been the tender

60
00:03:17,280 --> 00:03:20,200
Speaker 4: plays and everyone's heart, and it has been that thing

61
00:03:20,280 --> 00:03:23,359
Speaker 4: that we have been able to use to bring Music

62
00:03:23,440 --> 00:03:26,000
Speaker 4: brings people together that you would.

63
00:03:25,919 --> 00:03:29,200
Speaker 2: Never think they could. And so it's been a lot

64
00:03:29,240 --> 00:03:29,640
Speaker 2: of fun.

65
00:03:29,880 --> 00:03:34,840
Speaker 4: It had some great success, and I wanted to actually

66
00:03:35,600 --> 00:03:39,040
Speaker 4: the things go the way that I'm seeing it, continue

67
00:03:39,400 --> 00:03:39,880
Speaker 4: to do this.

68
00:03:40,000 --> 00:03:45,120
Speaker 1: Whodium you are I mean when I when I think

69
00:03:45,160 --> 00:03:50,320
Speaker 1: of the amazing influence you've had on our lives, the

70
00:03:50,360 --> 00:03:53,400
Speaker 1: soundtracks you've created, the good times. Me see, I just

71
00:03:53,400 --> 00:03:55,120
Speaker 1: played a couple of clips of some of the songs

72
00:03:55,120 --> 00:03:58,000
Speaker 1: over the years that you've done, and I can't hit

73
00:03:58,040 --> 00:04:01,760
Speaker 1: play up smiling, you know, and hit play without feeling goodness,

74
00:04:02,160 --> 00:04:05,040
Speaker 1: and that is something that is so difficult for anyone

75
00:04:05,080 --> 00:04:07,320
Speaker 1: to give to somebody. I mean, like, it really takes

76
00:04:07,320 --> 00:04:09,760
Speaker 1: something special to just be able to hit play and

77
00:04:09,840 --> 00:04:11,040
Speaker 1: immediately change your mood.

78
00:04:10,920 --> 00:04:12,640
