11
00:00:38,040 --> 00:00:40,800
Speaker 1: been described as a love letter to Suffolk.

12
00:00:40,920 --> 00:00:42,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, not only where he used to live, but where

13
00:00:42,680 --> 00:00:43,159
Speaker 2: he lives now.

14
00:00:43,200 --> 00:00:46,680
Speaker 3: The actual litteral is lead to my hometound, which is

15
00:00:46,720 --> 00:00:49,879
Speaker 3: in the middle of nowhere. No one ever visits, and

16
00:00:49,960 --> 00:00:52,320
Speaker 3: I really wants to write an appreciation someone it because

17
00:00:52,320 --> 00:00:52,839
Speaker 3: it's beautiful.

18
00:00:52,880 --> 00:00:54,360
Speaker 2: How often do you think about home?

19
00:00:54,600 --> 00:00:57,639
Speaker 3: Well, I live there now. I bought a house there,

20
00:00:57,640 --> 00:00:59,920
Speaker 3: so I thankfully get to spend most of my time there.

21
00:01:00,080 --> 00:01:03,920
Speaker 2: That's great, That's incredible. I mean, that's awesome. I mean,

22
00:01:03,920 --> 00:01:06,000
Speaker 2: but it's a lot of traveling here obviously.

23
00:01:06,240 --> 00:01:08,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, but it's worth it. It's worth it, you know.

24
00:01:08,000 --> 00:01:09,680
Speaker 3: I got to I get to wake up and look

25
00:01:09,720 --> 00:01:11,400
Speaker 3: at a field rather than wake up and look at

26
00:01:11,760 --> 00:01:12,959
Speaker 3: a building a house.

27
00:01:13,240 --> 00:01:15,959
Speaker 2: You did not find a house. You've got a small

28
00:01:16,000 --> 00:01:18,200
Speaker 2: village for the whole thing. It has its own part,

29
00:01:18,280 --> 00:01:20,559
Speaker 2: but church as well where you got married.

30
00:01:21,120 --> 00:01:22,440
Speaker 1: But sure you look at a field.

31
00:01:22,520 --> 00:01:25,120
Speaker 2: But if you, if you're you can afford it. It's

32
00:01:25,160 --> 00:01:26,080
Speaker 2: not that hard, is it.

33
00:01:27,080 --> 00:01:29,679
Speaker 1: I think a lot of people can relate to this song. Yeah,

34
00:01:29,840 --> 00:01:33,040
Speaker 1: the story that it tells. It always makes me drive

35
00:01:33,080 --> 00:01:33,920
Speaker 1: too fast, though.

36
00:01:33,800 --> 00:01:37,160
Speaker 2: It doesn't really that's dangerous. There's something about it when

37
00:01:37,160 --> 00:01:38,840
Speaker 2: you're about to get the ticket. How does that go down?

38
00:01:38,840 --> 00:01:43,160
Speaker 2: When you use that explanation officer by the way, and

39
00:01:43,800 --> 00:01:46,279
Speaker 2: it made me drive faster? Yeah, probably your song issould

40
00:01:46,280 --> 00:01:47,680
Speaker 2: come out with at least would it be cool to

41
00:01:47,720 --> 00:01:49,920
Speaker 2: have someone who became a star and had a song

42
00:01:49,960 --> 00:01:52,600
Speaker 2: referencing you in unless it was Taylor Swift and she

43
00:01:52,640 --> 00:01:54,520
Speaker 2: was bitching about you after the event. It depends on

44
00:01:54,560 --> 00:01:55,440
Speaker 2: which line it is.

45
00:01:55,600 --> 00:01:55,840
Speaker 1: Yeah.

46
00:01:55,920 --> 00:01:57,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, he's then talking about referencing notes.

47
00:01:57,960 --> 00:02:00,480
Speaker 4: I've had a couple couple get and so I mean

48
00:02:00,560 --> 00:02:02,680
Speaker 4: I'm in touch with most of them anyway because they're

49
00:02:02,720 --> 00:02:05,520
Speaker 4: still my mates. But like the same guy that works

50
00:02:05,560 --> 00:02:07,240
Speaker 4: down by the coast is the guy I was running

51
00:02:07,240 --> 00:02:08,960
Speaker 4: from the law through the backfields with and we kind

52
00:02:08,960 --> 00:02:10,600
Speaker 4: of had a bit of a laugh. I spent news

53
00:02:10,600 --> 00:02:11,760
Speaker 4: eve with him, so had we had a bit of

54
00:02:11,800 --> 00:02:15,680
Speaker 4: a laugh about that, remembering being naughty kids.

55
00:02:15,960 --> 00:02:20,480
Speaker 2: Not kids, naughty kids. It's someone who's been influenced by people.

56
00:02:20,480 --> 00:02:23,120
Speaker 2: Of course, of course musos all and songwriters all have

57
00:02:23,160 --> 00:02:25,160
Speaker 2: their influencers, but he talks about one who was a

58
00:02:25,280 --> 00:02:27,000
Speaker 2: fit away from home other side of the Atlantic.

59
00:02:27,160 --> 00:02:30,840
Speaker 4: A lot of listening to Bruce Springsteen and in particular

60
00:02:30,880 --> 00:02:33,440
Speaker 4: of The River and really sort of like wanting to

61
00:02:34,360 --> 00:02:38,840
Speaker 4: write a song that is looks back on childhood and

62
00:02:38,880 --> 00:02:42,760
Speaker 4: childhood friends and how people grew. And I did. I wrote,

63
00:02:42,760 --> 00:02:44,560
Speaker 4: I wrote a few like that and that was that

64
00:02:44,680 --> 00:02:46,480
Speaker 4: was by far the best of the best of the bunch.

65
00:02:46,800 --> 00:02:49,160
Speaker 4: I mean, my song isn't as decailed as the River

66
00:02:49,320 --> 00:02:52,000
Speaker 4: or as good, but but that but that was the

67
00:02:52,080 --> 00:02:54,840
Speaker 4: kind of idea was to, you know, show show the

68
00:02:54,840 --> 00:02:58,360
Speaker 4: happiness of and innocence of youth, but and then also

69
00:02:58,440 --> 00:03:01,680
Speaker 4: show the kind of darkness of reality of grown up.

70
00:03:01,720 --> 00:03:05,000
Speaker 1: I guess so Bruce definitely knows his way around a

71
00:03:05,440 --> 00:03:08,880
Speaker 1: writing a love letter to Absolute to Youth or Jersey

72
00:03:09,040 --> 00:03:10,600
Speaker 1: cars and girls, you know, cars and girls.

73
00:03:11,440 --> 00:03:15,480
Speaker 2: But that was Sodduran being self deprecating like that. That good, Yeah,
