  Speaker 1: Hello.
• 0:01
  Speaker 2: I am Dan from Story of the Year. Our new
• 0:03
  Speaker 2: album Arson is awesome and it is out now. I
• 0:07
  Speaker 2: hope you're listening and loving it. Let's talk about it.
• 0:11
  Speaker 3: Un lockway you did that, it might as also it
• 0:13
  Speaker 3: sort of rolls up the time.
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: Done that.
• 0:15
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, all the words.
• 0:23
  Speaker 3: Story of the Year released you might dist album Austin
• 0:25
  Speaker 3: earlier this month. It's made a couple of weeks off
• 0:28
  Speaker 3: the early reception.
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: Baby, it's been very positive.
• 0:31
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I have.
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: I've seen very little negative.
• 0:36
  Speaker 2: Reviews, which is, you know, I don't really care either way,
• 0:39
  Speaker 2: but you know, as long as we love it, it's
• 0:40
  Speaker 2: all good. But but yeah, it seems to be going
• 0:42
  Speaker 2: over really well. People are excited, people are liking it,
• 0:44
  Speaker 2: so that's all you can ask for.
• 0:46
  Speaker 3: No, I said. The presser says that A mocks the
• 0:48
  Speaker 3: next evolution of Story the East signature. Sam, would you
• 0:52
  Speaker 3: agree with that, Steimen.
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I guess so.
• 0:55
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's like it's definitely sounds like Story of the Year.
• 0:58
  Speaker 2: But you know, every record we do evolve and change
• 1:01
  Speaker 2: in different ways a little bit, but we always have
• 1:03
  Speaker 2: like a classic sound that that's always there.
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: So yeah, I think that's a pretty good assessment.
• 1:09
  Speaker 3: Right, Well, we'll put that to the chest down mate,
• 1:10
  Speaker 3: because we're going to do something a little bit different.
• 1:12
  Speaker 3: So I've got an album review here that I've done,
• 1:14
  Speaker 3: so I'm going to read it out to your piece
• 1:16
  Speaker 3: by piece, and you tell me whether I'm full of
• 1:18
  Speaker 3: shit or if I'm on the right track, or if
• 1:20
  Speaker 3: you written or whatever you feel.
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: Like love it?
• 1:23
  Speaker 3: Okay, all right, So full disclosure from the outset. I've
• 1:27
  Speaker 3: never really been able to get into bands and alternate
• 1:30
  Speaker 3: between aggressive intent and emotional vulnerability is the easiest. Changing
• 1:33
  Speaker 3: the channel on the television set. Call me old school
• 1:35
  Speaker 3: or call me emotionally lacking. But I was brought up
• 1:37
  Speaker 3: under the PreCheck that if something pissed you off enough
• 1:39
  Speaker 3: to snap, but that was pretty much it. Let's go
• 1:41
  Speaker 3: to SmackDown Chown. Sure, situations change and perceptions light in
• 1:45
  Speaker 3: most instances, but once that switch has been splited, the
• 1:47
  Speaker 3: chances of a clean and chirping intlude a fuck aller none,
• 1:50
  Speaker 3: which is probably the main reason that such a grace
• 1:52
  Speaker 3: of fluctuations in music have never sat well with me.
• 1:55
  Speaker 3: Plus the age old macho scenario wherever I've never actually
• 1:58
  Speaker 3: sat by myself away from judgment and expectation to actually
• 2:01
  Speaker 3: give it a chance. That said, I'm either about the
• 2:03
  Speaker 3: completely reaffirming sisty beliefs after listening to the Story of the
• 2:06
  Speaker 3: Year's New Old Marten, or I'm an again a newfound
• 2:09
  Speaker 3: respected appreciation for the genre, not the band, such as
• 2:12
  Speaker 3: Story of the Year. I actually give a fuck about
• 2:13
  Speaker 3: past prejudices. But my mother always taught me to get
• 2:15
  Speaker 3: things a chance before passing firm judgment, so out of
• 2:18
  Speaker 3: respect to her, here we are opening. Gasoline is also
• 2:22
  Speaker 3: said to be one of Story of the Year's heaviest songs,
• 2:24
  Speaker 3: so things already looking up as a softer piece of
• 2:27
  Speaker 3: sonic ambience is soon ruptured as drummer vocalist stand mfellers.
• 2:30
  Speaker 3: It's aimed directly of people like my good self and
• 2:33
  Speaker 3: comes out swinging. It's already an interesting mix between samples
• 2:36
  Speaker 3: and emotional sensationalism, but I'm not hating it thus far.
• 2:40
  Speaker 3: I've noticed a firm correlation between Gasoline and anger and
• 2:42
  Speaker 3: this track, so every time I hear that trigger word,
• 2:44
  Speaker 3: I know we were into some beautiful harshness, and the
• 2:46
  Speaker 3: interaction violation of pastoral plans doesn't sound que out of place.
• 2:50
  Speaker 2: On the first track, Hey, okay, yeah, I think that's
• 2:56
  Speaker 2: that's you nailed it, that's that's great, and that is
• 3:00
  Speaker 2: that is weird.
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: I don't always love when when singers.
• 3:04
  Speaker 2: I hate, I don't hate, but I don't like when
• 3:06
  Speaker 2: bands have two singers, you know, like one guy who
• 3:09
  Speaker 2: just like all screaming and then one guy who just
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: like comes out of nowhere.
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: And it's like, that's never been my favorite thing.
• 3:16
  Speaker 2: But I do like when you know, a singer can
• 3:19
  Speaker 2: fluidly go back and forth, and uh, that's always been.
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: My my way of doing it.
• 3:24
  Speaker 2: But but yeah, Gasoline, it's definitely a fun, screamy, hard,
• 3:29
  Speaker 2: hard song, a lot of a lot of high high
• 3:32
  Speaker 2: notes and screaming all at the same time. So it
• 3:34
  Speaker 2: gives me a headache just thinking about having to sing
• 3:36
  Speaker 2: it more. But uh yeah, it's uh, it's it's a
• 3:40
  Speaker 2: fun song. It's like just you know, it's just fuck it,
• 3:43
  Speaker 2: burn it down, you know, fuck it up. You know,
• 3:45
  Speaker 2: it's pretty self explanatory. It's just a fun song. And yeah,
• 3:48
  Speaker 2: I love that one.
• 3:49
  Speaker 3: Nice disconnected his next and starts with the Temp again
• 3:53
  Speaker 3: met with the Dice about healthy can champ for Marcella,
• 3:56
  Speaker 3: but he soon gets over whatever is ADDIE's gravance and
• 3:58
  Speaker 3: the Queen's tike. I it's same to you, said piece
• 4:00
  Speaker 3: of it. So it's been a bit of a backstory
• 4:02
  Speaker 3: where maybe once the world was a beautiful place this
• 4:05
  Speaker 3: says flashes baar too sonic wise, and I like those guys,
• 4:07
  Speaker 3: so maybe there will be a connection. That's probably way
• 4:10
  Speaker 3: too harsh, because this is a quite catchy track with
• 4:13
  Speaker 3: a thunderous drum rolls courtesy of Mussella aiing a toughness
• 4:15
  Speaker 3: to the bottom end that intrudes just often enough to
• 4:18
  Speaker 3: entice some tasty breakdowns. There's even an electronic breakdown, which
• 4:21
  Speaker 3: is not too shabby at all. I might be wrong,
• 4:24
  Speaker 3: but it sounds like Marcella is doing much of the
• 4:25
  Speaker 3: alternating vocal styles himself, which adds instant respect. I'm not
• 4:29
  Speaker 3: sure how to best explain it, but when the contrast
• 4:31
  Speaker 3: comes from the bracted state of one saying self, then
• 4:33
  Speaker 3: the divide between light and shade suddenly becomes less divisive
• 4:36
  Speaker 3: and more personal. But if I'm wrong, then now I
• 4:38
  Speaker 3: now look like a dick. But nothing, it's not on
• 4:40
  Speaker 3: this even about misgivings.
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: Uh yeah, this is this is great. Uh you're you're
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: an era right on it. I mean that's that's that's
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: that's the song. That's what it is.
• 4:51
  Speaker 2: Uh yeah, I mean it's just a lyrically, it's just
• 4:57
  Speaker 2: just about feeling disconnected from you know, people are longing
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: for some kind of connection, whether it's the past or
• 5:04
  Speaker 2: just a personal thing.
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: I don't know, you know, it could be taken.
• 5:06
  Speaker 2: A few different ways, but but yeah, it's uh, it's
• 5:09
  Speaker 2: It's one of the first songs we wrote for the record,
• 5:11
  Speaker 2: the first ones that we finished. So it was like
• 5:13
  Speaker 2: we knew that that chorus was big and I sang
• 5:15
  Speaker 2: it high and hard again it screaming half the time,
• 5:18
  Speaker 2: and uh it was a it was a good one.
• 5:21
  Speaker 2: When we got that one done, we were like, Okay,
• 5:22
  Speaker 2: this is this is the story of the year. This
• 5:24
  Speaker 2: is what we sound like. It's kind of the best
• 5:25
  Speaker 2: of everything that we do. You know, it's like upbeat,
• 5:28
  Speaker 2: it's kind of heavy, but it's catchy, it's got it's
• 5:30
  Speaker 2: got a little bit of everything, and uh it's it's
• 5:32
  Speaker 2: one of one of our favorites on the record.
• 5:34
  Speaker 3: Very cool. Uh see three fires off a met a
• 5:38
  Speaker 3: wall that quickly passed to usher in a shoffling drum
• 5:40
  Speaker 3: pill that allows from Ussel to throw a barrage of
• 5:42
  Speaker 3: twins into the mix. It's subtling nicely with the relative
• 5:45
  Speaker 3: calmness opened up by the rhythm section. Story of the
• 5:48
  Speaker 3: Year of obviously had plenty of practice with blending stalls
• 5:50
  Speaker 3: and genres to not sound it's interested, and even as
• 5:54
  Speaker 3: a sudden shift into a peaceful resolution threats to dominate proceedings,
• 5:58
  Speaker 3: there isn't much else to do but allow us to
• 6:00
  Speaker 3: be guided by the unsetiny and simply enjoyed the ride.
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: Yeah, see Through is a is a little bit of
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: a weird one.
• 6:09
  Speaker 2: It was written with a co writer named James Fauntleroy
• 6:12
  Speaker 2: and he has very different style and uh he's written
• 6:16
  Speaker 2: for like Lady Gaga and Bruno Mars and shit, so
• 6:19
  Speaker 2: he comes from that more pop world.
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: But uh so a couple of the melodies that he had,
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: we were like we.
• 6:25
  Speaker 2: I had to like really find a different zone to
• 6:28
  Speaker 2: like because it's we you know, It's just it's different
• 6:30
  Speaker 2: for me. So but it ended up being really cool
• 6:33
  Speaker 2: and we turned it into made it sound like Story
• 6:35
  Speaker 2: of the Year. But but yeah, it was just a
• 6:38
  Speaker 2: lot different process on that song, and it's it's a
• 6:40
  Speaker 2: very different track for us.
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: But but it still ended up being really cool. We
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: love it.
• 6:46
  Speaker 3: Our four wife starts with a massive distortion feedback before
• 6:49
  Speaker 3: ripping this gape straight off to reveal the embrasiveness beneath.
• 6:52
  Speaker 3: There's a small dose of rapid few spoken verse to
• 6:55
  Speaker 3: keep things interesting. People at the contrasting vocals resumed their storytelling,
• 6:58
  Speaker 3: and I saw many dawns on me. That is exactly
• 7:01
  Speaker 3: what is going on here. It happens the flight between
• 7:03
  Speaker 3: Haskin's main biicals, isn't they just to make this feel
• 7:05
  Speaker 3: little warm and fuzzy. They are actually two aposing sides,
• 7:08
  Speaker 3: the slight coin that forwards you have a way the
• 7:10
  Speaker 3: narrative reply it.
• 7:13
  Speaker 2: Yeah that that that is it, and the guest vocal
• 7:16
  Speaker 2: from Jacoby from Papa Roach, which.
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: Is awesome on that song.
• 7:20
  Speaker 2: Yeah, so yeah, I be yet the pretty singing part
• 7:25
  Speaker 2: is that we were kind of writing it like like
• 7:27
  Speaker 2: a conversation between multiple people, you know, And and then yeah,
• 7:31
  Speaker 2: I didn't even really think about that until you just
• 7:33
  Speaker 2: kind of said that that that I forgot that that's
• 7:34
  Speaker 2: kind of where we were inspired when we were writing it.
• 7:37
  Speaker 2: But yeah, it's cool to have like that weird rappiness
• 7:40
  Speaker 2: that Jacoby does and uh, Yeah, that was the first
• 7:43
  Speaker 2: time we've had a guest vocalist in a really long time,
• 7:46
  Speaker 2: so uh, it's it's a special song.
• 7:48
  Speaker 3: It's cool street three I Am, he's usually been. Things
• 7:51
  Speaker 3: start to get interesting, and this track is no exception
• 7:54
  Speaker 3: for the shuffle of guitars giving way to a punk
• 7:56
  Speaker 3: star opening salvo, the s into mohat tree before the
• 8:00
  Speaker 3: fading light commands a little more respect, and the voices
• 8:03
  Speaker 3: in their heads start to jumble even more and show
• 8:05
  Speaker 3: none of it matters, not the vocal styles, not the
• 8:08
  Speaker 3: chirpiness of the chorus, and certainly not the schizophrenic side
• 8:11
  Speaker 3: of the band's personality that wants to keep partying. All
• 8:14
  Speaker 3: the matters because none of us know what the fuck
• 8:15
  Speaker 3: we want or need at three am in the morning.
• 8:17
  Speaker 3: So instead, shortly their advices, she joined in on their
• 8:20
  Speaker 3: quest for a good time, and for the first time
• 8:21
  Speaker 3: on the album, I'll find myself getting into the band
• 8:23
  Speaker 3: and saying, fuck it, if it feels good, then roll
• 8:26
  Speaker 3: with it.
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: That's awesome.
• 8:29
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I think three Am is probably my favorite song
• 8:32
  Speaker 2: on the record, just lyrically, especially because it's about it's
• 8:36
  Speaker 2: about leaving your family and going on tour and you know,
• 8:39
  Speaker 2: being gone for months of the time and having you know,
• 8:42
  Speaker 2: kids at home and a wife and stuff and just
• 8:44
  Speaker 2: that that that crazy, uh part of our lives that
• 8:49
  Speaker 2: is not easy, you know. So but yeah, and the
• 8:51
  Speaker 2: song it's it's a very crazy song. It's big, crazy
• 8:55
  Speaker 2: riff and then it's like super pop punk and then
• 8:57
  Speaker 2: it's all of a sudden, I'm screaming and it's like
• 8:59
  Speaker 2: it's very chare. It's like such a wild song, and
• 9:02
  Speaker 2: I think it's really cool. It's something that is kind
• 9:04
  Speaker 2: of different for us. But I love that song.
• 9:07
  Speaker 3: Indeed, Into the Dark as an almost dreamy intro before
• 9:11
  Speaker 3: the Kaitarski kin and showed the dream into a rightmare
• 9:13
  Speaker 3: of sonic proportions, and the game resumes. It's all in
• 9:16
  Speaker 3: my head, marcelovermones, no ship mate, Now, how do you
• 9:19
  Speaker 3: get that catchiness to get the fuck out of there?
• 9:22
  Speaker 3: The Toughest Fuck Breakdown presents the answer and the laughing
• 9:24
  Speaker 3: effect of that unexpected by it out first, almost kind
• 9:27
  Speaker 3: of camouflages of following doubt, a clean supporter on which
• 9:30
  Speaker 3: you washy but somehow don't actually feel that wrong. Marcella
• 9:33
  Speaker 3: has an inanate ability to draw you and every time
• 9:35
  Speaker 3: His voice takes on even a hind of releevlance, carrying
• 9:38
  Speaker 3: you through the moments of serenity, speaking the knowledge he
• 9:40
  Speaker 3: can get messy at any time and quickly.
• 9:44
  Speaker 2: Yeah, Into the Dark is one of It's also up
• 9:47
  Speaker 2: there on my favorites list.
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: Another. I mean that it started with that riff Ryan.
• 9:53
  Speaker 2: Ryan had that verse riff and it was just like
• 9:55
  Speaker 2: so mean, and it was like literally sounded kind of dark.
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: So we were like, all right, this something something dark,
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: Like what do we say?
• 10:02
  Speaker 2: You know. It's like so the title into the Darkest
• 10:04
  Speaker 2: kind of wrote itself just because of the style of
• 10:06
  Speaker 2: the music. And but yeah, we had a different chorus
• 10:10
  Speaker 2: at first, and U producer Colin Britton, he was like,
• 10:13
  Speaker 2: we need like a big anthem chorus here, like a
• 10:15
  Speaker 2: big like you know, so we like went to the
• 10:17
  Speaker 2: major note on it and just like into the Dark,
• 10:20
  Speaker 2: you know. It's just like it's such a it's such
• 10:22
  Speaker 2: a big uplift on that course. And I love I
• 10:24
  Speaker 2: love everything about the song. It's cool, it's cool, vibe nice.
• 10:29
  Speaker 3: I should actually take forty to verbalize the fact that
• 10:31
  Speaker 3: I'm actually quite enjoying us. And that's fine. Call it
• 10:34
  Speaker 3: a guilty pleasure if you will, but I'm just gonna
• 10:36
  Speaker 3: call it for what it is. Damn find music with
• 10:38
  Speaker 3: an emotional depth that likely would not be possible with
• 10:40
  Speaker 3: outsetting moments of wooing what better to follow into the
• 10:44
  Speaker 3: dark and my religion and already this track is refair
• 10:46
  Speaker 3: my apathy or as a Church, which is a meat
• 10:48
  Speaker 3: and potatoes heart toorker much like religion, and I have
• 10:51
  Speaker 3: so little in common with both that I should skip
• 10:53
  Speaker 3: forward just so I don't black thing.
• 10:57
  Speaker 2: Uh yeah, that that one started with just what like
• 11:01
  Speaker 2: a drum beat.
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: I was like, I want to do like a Jimmy
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: World kind of tempo.
• 11:05
  Speaker 2: You know.
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: It's like like.
• 11:09
  Speaker 2: Guy, you know, it's just like we never had that
• 11:10
  Speaker 2: like kind of upbeat in between beat and uh so
• 11:13
  Speaker 2: we literally started with a drum beat and just started
• 11:15
  Speaker 2: writing and fiddling around and coming up with ideas, and
• 11:17
  Speaker 2: that one just it was very organic in the studio,
• 11:20
  Speaker 2: like fun song. And uh somebody just said something about
• 11:24
  Speaker 2: something being my religion, you know, like like not not
• 11:28
  Speaker 2: being into religion. It's just like, yeah, like, oh that's
• 11:30
  Speaker 2: that's that's my religion, you know. So and we just
• 11:33
  Speaker 2: kind of we kind of worked it backwards off of
• 11:35
  Speaker 2: just like a conversation we were all having and yeah,
• 11:38
  Speaker 2: just a special moment, you know.
• 11:40
  Speaker 3: And beautiful.
• 11:41
  Speaker 2: Uh.
• 11:41
  Speaker 3: The trend continues is highlights, boathsroom to speak off but
• 11:44
  Speaker 3: the metal gods have sanely he had much more of
• 11:46
  Speaker 3: a say here as a repid drum field illavice proceedings
• 11:49
  Speaker 3: and Marcella stops as as someone's kickeding volantly into sheetings
• 11:52
  Speaker 3: as in he isn't very happy again. This is trying
• 11:55
  Speaker 3: to be the tight I stuff, but the difference theaters
• 11:57
  Speaker 3: that the meaties waggy beef and the tight I is
• 11:59
  Speaker 3: tougher than any ores could ever be. This is a
• 12:02
  Speaker 3: rollicking track with an off underlying animosity. She suggests that
• 12:04
  Speaker 3: Hailer was relatively slipped and so I'd considerably a ramps
• 12:08
  Speaker 3: for the year his neck things being made and Charlie
• 12:10
  Speaker 3: to soft the territory. But the first throe of guitars
• 12:12
  Speaker 3: follow I can recall on the album. So you stamped
• 12:14
  Speaker 3: that out as a rocking story is once more pushed
• 12:17
  Speaker 3: it to four and things are so much better for it.
• 12:20
  Speaker 2: Yeah that that that song was one of the last
• 12:22
  Speaker 2: ones we wrote on the record, and uh, we kind
• 12:25
  Speaker 2: of like once you get kind of close to being done,
• 12:28
  Speaker 2: you kind of look at the collection of songs and
• 12:29
  Speaker 2: it's like, all right, we need like a we need
• 12:31
  Speaker 2: an upbeat, like just kind of ripper song, you know,
• 12:33
  Speaker 2: and uh kind of like in the Hero like in
• 12:35
  Speaker 2: the Hearalll Drown or something like one of our older songs. So,
• 12:38
  Speaker 2: uh so we just kind of wrote a song that
• 12:40
  Speaker 2: we felt like we needed on the record and uh yeah,
• 12:43
  Speaker 2: it was just kind of last minute throwing it together
• 12:45
  Speaker 2: in the studio and it ended up being a really
• 12:47
  Speaker 2: cool and it's a fun, energetic song. You know.
• 12:50
  Speaker 3: Kid. I'm not sure if good for Me Feel So
• 12:53
  Speaker 3: Bad is a pitch tak or a statement, but the
• 12:55
  Speaker 3: thrilling haze and guitar that introduces your song suggested it
• 12:58
  Speaker 3: isn't so much of a piece. Bring as a chichon
• 13:00
  Speaker 3: of breatastreet shopping, drum shaped things and check and this
• 13:03
  Speaker 3: one that's stidy and rolde In Moment Salarbrary, there's a
• 13:06
  Speaker 3: dipth and sumption to the delivery the scream sorrow and loss,
• 13:09
  Speaker 3: but this is upset by a conflicting subplot of cold
• 13:12
  Speaker 3: chempt that it can't offers to a prising viewpoints sonically,
• 13:15
  Speaker 3: I think I'm actually starting to understand Shediah.
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that one. That one has a very different feel
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: to me, Like vocally, it's a lot different for some reason.
• 13:26
  Speaker 2: I don't know why. It's It's not like crazy or anything,
• 13:28
  Speaker 2: but yeah, it's like it's got a lot of cool references.
• 13:32
  Speaker 2: It's kind of dark and are very metaphorical, you know,
• 13:36
  Speaker 2: with the lyrics stuff, a lot of like different weird.
• 13:39
  Speaker 2: It could mean a lot of things to a lot
• 13:40
  Speaker 2: of people. But but yeah, I think it's it's a
• 13:43
  Speaker 2: cool song. The chorus is very different for us. It's
• 13:45
  Speaker 2: kind of lower. It's like I didn't have to sing
• 13:48
  Speaker 2: as high as I humanly could on this song, which
• 13:50
  Speaker 2: is kind of cool. It was like, yeah, let's just
• 13:51
  Speaker 2: keep it in that mid mid range and just just
• 13:53
  Speaker 2: go with it and let.
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: This music speak for itself. So it's a cool song.
• 13:57
  Speaker 3: I love it nice better than high. It starts with
• 14:00
  Speaker 3: the washing acoustic guitars getting off a calming effect that
• 14:03
  Speaker 3: is accentuated by the almost stoothing rocals that's somewhere between
• 14:06
  Speaker 3: the longing and deceit maybe not, but such thoughts around
• 14:09
  Speaker 3: me to look forward into this song with hope that
• 14:11
  Speaker 3: things might change out for a bit, and the tides
• 14:13
  Speaker 3: of the militias and chant may once more shower off
• 14:15
  Speaker 3: than hap the theme. No such luck, as the song
• 14:18
  Speaker 3: maintains the same trajectory pretty much, You're out, But who
• 14:20
  Speaker 3: am I kidding? As soon as the acoustic guitars kicked in,
• 14:22
  Speaker 3: this song was never going to go anywhere else, which,
• 14:25
  Speaker 3: as it turns out, isn't such a bad place to be.
• 14:28
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that one just happened to once again in the studio.
• 14:31
  Speaker 2: Colin, our producer, was just playing the guitar and we
• 14:34
  Speaker 2: were all just sitting around and he just started playing
• 14:36
  Speaker 2: that those chords and I just started singing along and
• 14:40
  Speaker 2: just kind of happened naturally in the studio. And yeah,
• 14:44
  Speaker 2: I think once once the line better than Hi was
• 14:46
  Speaker 2: like I was like, oh, that's cool, you know, like
• 14:48
  Speaker 2: the whole idea is just kind of a relationship song,
• 14:52
  Speaker 2: growing up together, growing all together and growing apart and
• 14:54
  Speaker 2: back together and whatever.
• 14:56
  Speaker 1: But uh, yeah, I don't even remember what the lyric is.
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: It's hard to remember the lyrics whenever I'm like, I'm
• 15:02
  Speaker 1: just sitting here, but yeah, but yeah, it's a cool song.
• 15:05
  Speaker 1: You always got to have a little acoustic.
• 15:06
  Speaker 2: Track just change, change the tempo on the record, you know,
• 15:10
  Speaker 2: get it, get away from some of the other crazy stuff.
• 15:12
  Speaker 1: So yeah, it's cool.
• 15:13
  Speaker 3: Nice our album clothes that I don't want to feel
• 15:16
  Speaker 3: like this anymore. Gives off enough shades of despair from
• 15:18
  Speaker 3: the opening salvo that I'm studying to think story of
• 15:20
  Speaker 3: the year and myself might past, might part on lesson
• 15:24
  Speaker 3: favorable terms. The things do top and up more than enough,
• 15:27
  Speaker 3: and what could have been a choken love song is
• 15:28
  Speaker 3: elevated enough to paint a bleaker picture of hope and
• 15:31
  Speaker 3: loss that office enough in the way of that beauty
• 15:33
  Speaker 3: to leave people on myself feeling that maybe things don't
• 15:35
  Speaker 3: churn out as nicely as they appear.
• 15:38
  Speaker 2: And that's it.
• 15:38
  Speaker 3: We're done. How do I feel dirty, violated, conflicted, all
• 15:43
  Speaker 3: of the above? Actually, but I also have a newfound
• 15:45
  Speaker 3: respected appreciation for the genre. And definitely the story of
• 15:48
  Speaker 3: the mum is right. Sometimes you do have to look
• 15:50
  Speaker 3: outside the musical box we subconsciously build for ourselves.
• 15:55
  Speaker 1: That's awesome.
• 15:56
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that's that song is pretty self explanatory. You know,
• 15:59
  Speaker 2: it's just about loss or you know, just uh, not
• 16:02
  Speaker 2: wanting to feel something. It could it could go in
• 16:06
  Speaker 2: many directions for different people. But I know it's already
• 16:09
  Speaker 2: very special song for a lot of people. But it's
• 16:11
  Speaker 2: just a classic kind of emo kind of song, you know,
• 16:14
  Speaker 2: it's just a classic story of the year song.
• 16:17
  Speaker 1: But yeah, I love I love hearing your take on
• 16:21
  Speaker 1: a lot of this stuff. That's that's fun and and
• 16:23
  Speaker 1: like here instead of just reading it, it's like having
• 16:25
  Speaker 1: you read it.
• 16:28
  Speaker 3: I'll want paper to get stick a bit. But especially
• 16:31
  Speaker 3: I think it's well, it's off with this. I'm gonna
• 16:33
  Speaker 3: edit all to my chalking out. I'm just gonna like
• 16:35
  Speaker 3: have a big of graphics. So then it's gonna just
• 16:36
  Speaker 3: have huge chalking about the song. I'm gonna step right
• 16:38
  Speaker 3: and song by song and then I put it on
• 16:40
  Speaker 3: a YouTube channel and the people get to know the
• 16:42
  Speaker 3: album would be paper And for me, it helps you
• 16:44
  Speaker 3: out to be a primy for.
• 16:45
  Speaker 1: You, Yeah, that's awesome.
• 16:46
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's cool to to hear you know, your first
• 16:49
  Speaker 2: take on how you took it in and uh, because yeah,
• 16:52
  Speaker 2: I haven't heard much.
• 16:53
  Speaker 3: I haven't.
• 16:53
  Speaker 2: I haven't talked about the record that much yet. It's
• 16:55
  Speaker 2: brand new, you know, so it's cool to It's very cool.
• 16:58
  Speaker 1: I love it.
• 17:00
  Speaker 3: Yea, it was maybe thanks to you, Timon, thanks for
• 17:01
  Speaker 3: being a wooly participant. But the album is a cracked roll.
• 17:04
  Speaker 2: Like I say, I was that.
• 17:04
  Speaker 3: I don't normally go into that sort of thing, but
• 17:07
  Speaker 3: from the first or second song and you said me gone,
• 17:10
  Speaker 3: these puckers are all right.
• 17:13
