I scrapped my whole album apart from 46 00:01:51,280 --> 00:01:53,880 Speaker 2: one song, this one song that made it on this project, 47 00:01:53,880 --> 00:01:56,040 Speaker 2: but everything else was scrap brand new. 48 00:01:57,120 --> 00:01:59,720 Speaker 1: What runs through your body and blood to have worked 49 00:01:59,720 --> 00:02:02,480 Speaker 1: on art and music and you know, stuff that I'm 50 00:02:02,480 --> 00:02:04,800 Speaker 1: sure it's good and then just like rip it up. 51 00:02:05,040 --> 00:02:06,880 Speaker 2: I think there was I think for me, well, I mean, 52 00:02:06,920 --> 00:02:08,200 Speaker 2: you know, I was just going through a lot of 53 00:02:08,200 --> 00:02:11,720 Speaker 2: life stuff, and I was just making a bunch of 54 00:02:12,680 --> 00:02:15,360 Speaker 2: music around that time, and then I was listening to 55 00:02:15,400 --> 00:02:17,480 Speaker 2: that music and I was like, this music is so 56 00:02:17,560 --> 00:02:21,760 Speaker 2: much better than my album. And I was just kind 57 00:02:21,760 --> 00:02:26,240 Speaker 2: of like, damn, this is like this feels more natural 58 00:02:26,280 --> 00:02:28,000 Speaker 2: for me. It feels more like me. There was something 59 00:02:28,000 --> 00:02:31,280 Speaker 2: about the last album that I scrapped that I was like, Damn. 60 00:02:31,760 --> 00:02:34,320 Speaker 2: I was like, these these are technically good songs, and 61 00:02:34,360 --> 00:02:36,720 Speaker 2: I think I like them, but like there's something that's 62 00:02:36,760 --> 00:02:39,760 Speaker 2: just not connecting in the same way as like the 63 00:02:39,840 --> 00:02:43,120 Speaker 2: Lost projects have for me. And and it was just 64 00:02:43,200 --> 00:02:44,760 Speaker 2: kind of one of those moments. I started making a 65 00:02:44,800 --> 00:02:46,400 Speaker 2: bunch of these new songs and then it all just 66 00:02:46,440 --> 00:02:47,960 Speaker 2: clicked and I was like, Okay, this feels like it 67 00:02:47,960 --> 00:02:51,280 Speaker 2: has like something about me. And it was the other 68 00:02:51,320 --> 00:02:53,280 Speaker 2: ones I felt like it could have. I don't know, 69 00:02:53,320 --> 00:02:55,480 Speaker 2: a couple of different people could have made those songs 70 00:02:55,520 --> 00:02:56,200 Speaker 2: or something. I don't know. 71 00:02:57,960 --> 00:03:00,720 Speaker 1: Did you have to dig deeper into stuff that you 72 00:03:00,840 --> 00:03:04,960 Speaker 1: almost felt nervous about vulnerably revealing and talking about in 73 00:03:05,000 --> 00:03:05,800 Speaker 1: the lyrics and the songs. 74 00:03:05,840 --> 00:03:06,560 Speaker 3: Is that where you had to go? 75 00:03:06,919 --> 00:03:09,760 Speaker 2: Yeah? I mean, but it's funny because it came so 76 00:03:09,919 --> 00:03:12,200 Speaker 2: naturally that I think like I didn't really have to 77 00:03:12,600 --> 00:03:15,600 Speaker 2: I didn't really have to try to do anything. And 78 00:03:15,600 --> 00:03:17,799 Speaker 2: I think that's why I decided to scrap the album 79 00:03:17,919 --> 00:03:20,280 Speaker 2: was because it just felt so natural. Everything was coming 80 00:03:20,360 --> 00:03:24,760 Speaker 2: so like normal and natural that I was like, damn, 81 00:03:24,800 --> 00:03:27,800 Speaker 2: this is just obviously flowing out of me in a 82 00:03:27,840 --> 00:03:32,040 Speaker 2: way where maybe this is the better thing, and it 83 00:03:32,080 --> 00:03:36,280 Speaker 2: is definitely was so good.
