  It's been a while since we've talked to him, and he's got some new music he's gonna share

  with us.
• 1:22
  With me as always are my hosts, Wild Willie.
• 1:28
  There you are, brother.
• 1:29
  How you doing?
• 1:30
  I am doing great.
• 1:31
  You know, just out here doing what I do every week from
• 1:38
  spending a lot of time online.
• 1:40
  Yeah.
• 1:42
  A lot of interviews.
• 1:43
  Yeah, man.
• 1:44
  You've been killing it, and I'm so excited.
• 1:47
  We just keep getting better and better at what we're doing, and it's really fun to get
• 1:53
  together to do this show.
• 1:55
  With us both is our boy, boo boo boo boo.
• 2:01
  There's our brother.
• 2:02
  How are doing tonight?
• 2:04
  I'm doing great.
• 2:06
  You know, just spent the day make filming some podcasts and getting myself interviewed even.
• 2:10
  I'm excited for this one.
• 2:11
  Can't wait to hear some more of Chase Grant's music.
• 2:17
  Fantastic.
• 2:18
  And speaking of Chase Grant, let's bring the man in himself.
• 2:21
  Chase Grant, welcome back to the scene, brother.
• 2:24
  Hey, guys.
• 2:25
  How's it going?
• 2:28
  Man, we are excited to have you, dude.
• 2:31
  I know we got some real special stuff in store for everybody, but I wanna kick it off at the
• 2:36
  top of the show expressing my deepest condolences to you and your family and
• 2:41
  dedicating this show in the memory of your son, Hudson.
• 2:45
  And we love you guys, and we're always thinking of you.
• 2:48
  So I wanted to make sure we hit that off the top, and I know we'll probably cover a little
• 2:53
  bit of the situation throughout the show and talking about your boy.
• 2:57
  But, yeah, it's never easy for a parent to lose a child, and I I wanted to make sure that we
• 3:05
  got to express that.
• 3:06
  And and to carry on his his legacy, it may have been a short life, but he was a spark, and he
• 3:12
  was an inspiration to not just you, but to us here at the SCENE projects as well.
• 3:18
  Thank you.
• 3:19
  You hit the nail on the head with that.
• 3:20
  I have kind of had this tugging at my heart since since before he even passed, actually,
• 3:26
  to, like, always let his story, not end in not end in tragedy, but to continue to to pursue
• 3:37
  forward and to help other families that are in this situation.
• 3:39
  And I've really kind of laid the foundation for that this week.
• 3:43
  I'm actually starting another kind of side business with my sponsor, Ian Co, here in Waite
• 3:47
  Park, Minnesota.
• 3:49
  She's actually a woman's clothing boutique, which has by rights nothing to do with a man
• 3:55
  singing country music, but she has been a great sponsor and a good friend throughout all this.
• 3:59
  And she's a small business here in Central Minnesota.
• 4:02
  We're actually gonna start a clothing brand called Created With A Purpose that is going to
• 4:06
  be 100% profit towards, another nonprofit here in Minnesota called Henry's Heroes.
• 4:15
  Let me get some snaps for that.
• 4:16
  That's awesome, man.
• 4:18
  I I love, I love it.
• 4:21
  Because legacy is all we leave.
• 4:23
  It's a big reason.
• 4:25
  It wasn't necessarily the reason I started the podcast, but as it, it became very evident that
• 4:31
  that's what I was leaving for my children and and for all of these artists that have been on
• 4:37
  here such as yourself and giving you a platform to share these things and and the impact that
• 4:43
  we're going to have on on so many lives is I we're just getting started, and we've already
• 4:49
  gotten so far.
• 4:51
  So to think of where we're gonna be in in a year in ten years, in twenty years, and the
• 4:57
  amount of lives we're going to be able to change and impact is just it's gonna be
• 5:01
  incredible, man.
• 5:03
  Absolutely.
• 5:04
  Appreciate you guys for starting this because I've already felt that it's kind of it's
• 5:07
  starting to take off and good things are happening.
• 5:11
  Yeah.
• 5:12
  So, you were a guest recently on Soul Impact, I know, with Willie too, and you got a chance to
• 5:17
  meet our cohost here tonight.
• 5:19
  What'd you think of his show?
• 5:20
  It's a little bit different format than the scene projects.
• 5:23
  And, obviously, how music saved us is kind of the tagline of the show.
• 5:27
  I'm sure you have a very, a a very personal, touch to that.
• 5:33
  So why don't you share a little bit, behind the scenes of how music saved us, Soul Impact?
• 5:39
  Soul Impact is a really good experience.
• 5:40
  It was just the other day.
• 5:41
  Right?
• 5:42
  Like, not even a week ago, and it just it was so authentic and so very just free form.
• 5:47
  Like, we there was nothing scripted.
• 5:49
  There was nothing like I mean, you had questions, of course, but, like, it it was just
• 5:53
  so, like, just one on one.
• 5:55
  It was just two friends talking.
• 5:57
  There was nothing fake about it.
• 6:00
  It was just as authentic as authentic can be, and I think that is the heart of this whole
• 6:04
  network, to be honest.
• 6:06
  And so I had a really good experience on it.
• 6:08
  We got to talk a little Jesus.
• 6:10
  We got to talk a little bit about, like, state of the world, which is a touchy subject, but we
• 6:15
  did we gracefully kinda glided into that and then out again, and it it it was very, very
• 6:24
  well received.
• 6:25
  I loved it.
• 6:29
  I appreciate that.
• 6:30
  I appreciate that.
• 6:32
  Yeah.
• 6:32
  And that's what I I try to do with the rawness of it.
• 6:35
  You know?
• 6:36
  We both had our kids kinda coming up, and you know what?
• 6:39
  Oh, yeah.
• 6:40
  Oh, you know, oh, well.
• 6:41
  I everybody's like, you should edit that out.
• 6:44
  And, you know, and to hear someone else's perspective on it is it's humbling because, you
• 6:50
  know, you pretty much just said exactly what I want people to see.
• 6:55
  Yeah.
• 6:55
  You're doing a great job of of that if that's your goal because that's what I felt like
• 6:58
  leaving there.
• 6:59
  It was very, very well done.
• 7:02
  I appreciate that, buddy.
• 7:03
  I look forward to a great friendship with you.
• 7:05
  Me too.
• 7:06
  Yeah.
• 7:06
  Absolutely.
• 7:07
  So I just met Willie back in June, down there in Summersville, Missouri.
• 7:12
  Shout out to captain Jacks and and shout out to VibeFest.
• 7:15
  We're gonna have to teach Boo Boo how to mute his mic before he coughs in all of our faces.
• 7:18
  But, one day one day, we're training here.
• 7:22
  And he had mentioned maybe a week after, I had gotten back home.
• 7:27
  He's like, I'm thinking about starting a podcast and having spent a weekend with him.
• 7:32
  You know, we were running sound together and kind of very you know, we hung out a lot.
• 7:36
  And just knowing the man that he was and how comfortable people were around him, I was just
• 7:42
  like, whatever I can do to help you, man.
• 7:44
  What whatever I can do because I knew it was gonna be great.
• 7:47
  And now to look at three months has gone by, how many episodes did you say you've got
• 7:52
  recorded now, Willie?
• 7:54
  I got 30 uploaded in the podcast.
• 7:56
  I have more than that, but I have 30 uploaded to podcast data AI ready to fire.
• 8:02
  That's grinding.
• 8:03
  That's that's some work right there.
• 8:06
  Well, I have and, you know, me and you talked about this.
• 8:09
  I have a great mentor.
• 8:10
  I mean, I tell Bubba all the time that it can be a better mentor to ask for as far as paving
• 8:16
  the lane for this podcast.
• 8:18
  Yep.
• 8:19
  You know, I mentioned like you said, I mentioned the whole podcast idea, and next
• 8:23
  thing I know, here's all big brother telling you, just do it, you know, not to rip off Nike
• 8:29
  or anything.
• 8:30
  But
• 8:31
  Hit record, and just go and and learn it on the fly because nobody's watching.
• 8:38
  Right?
• 8:38
  That's kind of been our motto the whole time.
• 8:40
  And even when we have people watching, we're never going to change what we do.
• 8:45
  We don't necessarily I mean, we love our fans, and I don't want this to come off wrong, but
• 8:49
  we're not necessarily doing it for the fans.
• 8:51
  We're doing it for the artists.
• 8:52
  We're doing it to provide this platform where there's just not a lot of platforms out there
• 8:59
  for artists to promote their art outside of their own social media.
• 9:03
  Right?
• 9:04
  And not that we're not, you know, reposting these things and you're sharing our art out
• 9:09
  there, but it's a different conversation when somebody else is kinda guiding it.
• 9:14
  Right?
• 9:14
  And I saw that from appearances on local news channels and different things that I was
• 9:19
  getting an opportunity to do and realizing that not everybody has those opportunities.
• 9:24
  And while I can't start a, you know, a terrestrial TV station anytime soon, I have a
• 9:32
  YouTube channel.
• 9:32
  And we have these things that we can grow.
• 9:35
  And like I said, this we haven't even had the YouTube channel for a year yet, and we're, you
• 9:40
  know, cresting a quarter million views.
• 9:43
  We are you know, we need to get that subscriber count out.
• 9:47
  So shameless plug here.
• 9:48
  Subscribe to the channel if you're watching on YouTube or anywhere that you're watching.
• 9:51
  Make sure that you're following.
• 9:53
  Subscribe and make sure you're following Chase on everything he's doing and Boo Boo and Willie
• 9:57
  and get in the community because as we tighten these things up, that you're gonna see a lot of
• 10:03
  the same faces in between all the shows.
• 10:06
  Right?
• 10:07
  And that was kind of the point to bring in more hosts was that, yeah, you can be on my show,
• 10:13
  but wouldn't it be better if you were able to kinda come into one house and to do four or
• 10:18
  five shows, and then those are all going out there.
• 10:21
  And you didn't have to necessarily go out and hunt all of these different podcasts.
• 10:26
  You you knocked on one door and it was, hey.
• 10:28
  Come on in.
• 10:29
  Oh, and by the way, go knock on that door and that door and that door.
• 10:33
  And, Chase, you're really one of the first ones that we've had, Dalton Jones last week as well,
• 10:39
  that that has taken full advantage of that.
• 10:41
  And that's why I was so thrilled to have you on here tonight, and I can't wait to listen to
• 10:46
  some of your music.
• 10:47
  Honestly, I don't think I've really listened to much besides your your lives on Facebook of
• 10:53
  your stuff.
• 10:53
  So we're gonna get to hear some of your recorded music, and you're gonna play live for
• 10:57
  us tonight as well.
• 10:58
  Is that right?
• 10:59
  Yes, sir.
• 11:01
  Yep.
• 11:01
  I got a few it's actually all originals and all new stuff pretty much.
• 11:05
  It's not even the ones that have been released for a while.
• 11:07
  It's stuff that's coming up on an upcoming album here in October.
• 11:12
  Incredible.
• 11:13
  Well, Willie, you got one, dialed up for us?
• 11:16
  Yeah.
• 11:17
  I
• 11:17
  do.
• 11:17
  Willie to pull up the pull up the songs.
• 11:21
  We already got comments coming in here.
• 11:24
  Nobody's complaining about boo boo's Internet
• 11:28
  Wi Fi.
• 11:28
  Good?
• 11:31
  My new Wi Fi is better, so we should be good for tonight, actually.
• 11:35
  I don't even know where the router is, and we don't even have problems.
• 11:39
  There
• 11:41
  we go.
• 11:42
  There we go.
• 11:45
  Look at that.
• 11:45
  So this is the cover art for the new album, Chase.
• 11:49
  Is that right?
• 11:49
  It is.
• 11:50
  That looks great, man.
• 11:52
  Thanks.
• 11:53
  I love how much the hat is part of your everything.
• 11:56
  Right?
• 11:57
  Like, it's a cool it's a cool look, man.
• 11:59
  I'm jealous.
• 12:00
  It's a there's there's a story behind that too.
• 12:03
  We can get into that at at some point too.
• 12:04
  It's
• 12:05
  Well, you could tell it right now.
• 12:06
  Go ahead, Chase.
• 12:08
  So the the whole thing with music for myself is it's always been pointing back to god because
• 12:14
  it started in church worship to the point where I could not even, like, sing in front of my own
• 12:18
  wife before I auditioned for this worship team, and that's where it grew.
• 12:22
  That's where that was the foundation of it.
• 12:24
  And it's I'm still on that on that worship team.
• 12:27
  It's it's changed, you know, the way it looks now, but I'm still playing with them.
• 12:31
  And my whole life, just kinda spent, like,
• 12:35
  you know, oh, what are
• 12:35
  people gonna think of, you know, this or that or the way I look or the way I talk or walk?
• 12:40
  And then it it just got to be so fed up with that at some point that so, like, this hat when
• 12:45
  I first bought it because I I got a big inspiration as the band Need to Breathe, kind
• 12:49
  of a Christian Southern rock type band, and he's got a hat like this.
• 12:54
  And I was like, I can't pull that.
• 12:56
  For it, like, I I that's silly.
• 12:58
  It looks good on him, not on me.
• 12:59
  So I bought it, and then I was still like, oh, I can't wear it.
• 13:02
  I can't wear it.
• 13:03
  I'm gonna get made fun of.
• 13:04
  And I'm like, who cares?
• 13:07
  Like like like, especially recently with everything going on, it was like, life is so
• 13:11
  short.
• 13:12
  Like, wear the hat.
• 13:14
  Be different.
• 13:15
  Like, do the thing.
• 13:16
  You know?
• 13:16
  Because, like, you only get this one shot.
• 13:18
  And if you don't take those chances, this is just a very little thing, but, like, it's just
• 13:23
  a it's actually a representation of, like, me letting go of all the stresses and just being
• 13:28
  myself for, like, the first time in my life in these past couple years.
• 13:32
  That's a great story.
• 13:36
  And I think, you know, some of these things give us powers.
• 13:40
  Right?
• 13:40
  They they give us the those superpowers, that extra bit of confidence.
• 13:43
  Right?
• 13:44
  I have a custom guitar strap that, that I wear at my shows that has, you know, starts on it
• 13:50
  and representing who who I am.
• 13:53
  Right?
• 13:54
  And I always feel like when I put that on and I put that custom guitar on that my friend built
• 13:59
  and, like, it it means something extra.
• 14:02
  And it's, you know, it it's it's special.
• 14:05
  And that's those are the things that make us special as artists and as human beings.
• 14:10
  And like you said, wear the hat.
• 14:12
  Life's too damn short.
• 14:13
  It is.
• 14:14
  Yeah.
• 14:14
  Who cares what people think?
• 14:15
  If you like it, do it.
• 14:17
  Awesome.
• 14:18
  Well, Will, you you got the song pulled up?
• 14:20
  Sorry, Chase.
• 14:20
  I didn't mean to cut you off there.
• 14:21
  No.
• 14:22
  No.
• 14:22
  You're fine.
• 14:23
  Yeah.
• 14:24
  Without any further ado, this is cold rain in October by Chase Grant.
• 18:02
  Awesome stuff, Chase.
• 18:05
  Thank you.
• 18:05
  I I wasn't sure if you guys could hear it at first because I was like, oh, I don't hear
• 18:08
  nothing on my end, but you must have had to mute mine to get that stuff going.
• 18:14
  Maybe.
• 18:15
  I don't know.
• 18:15
  We could hear it just fine, on ours.
• 18:18
  Yeah.
• 18:19
  That's all that matters.
• 18:20
  Good deal.
• 18:22
  Yeah, man.
• 18:23
  I thought it sounded, fantastic.
• 18:25
  Cool tune.
• 18:26
  Where where'd you do your recording at on that one?
• 18:29
  So I work with this guy named Sam Snyder.
• 18:32
  He is a good friend of mine.
• 18:34
  I've known him for probably the past six, seven years.
• 18:38
  He started off in the church that we go to, the waters here in Sartell, and he's been doing
• 18:43
  sound and mixing for the last thirteen, fourteen years.
• 18:47
  And just recently, this last year and a half, he has been a freelancer, and he runs sound for
• 18:53
  live bands such as, like, Mason Dixon line and then has, his own studio as well, and I work
• 18:59
  with him.
• 19:00
  Very cool.
• 19:01
  Yeah.
• 19:02
  So are you playing a lot of the instruments, or how did that kinda come about?
• 19:06
  Because you don't typically I, Lisa, I don't see you perform with a band.
• 19:09
  Most of the stuff I see you do is solo or or I know you perform with another buddy too, but
• 19:14
  who who's on the album with you?
• 19:16
  It's basically just me.
• 19:18
  It I cover all the guitars.
• 19:20
  The bass is my buddy Paul Nyerengarten.
• 19:23
  He was in a an old band with me, and then he actually plays sometimes duos with me, and then
• 19:28
  he plays in my band that I kinda put together to do just shows here and there as well.
• 19:34
  So it's it's pretty much just me and him, and then Sam jumps in on some of the background
• 19:38
  vocals and kinda tag team everything.
• 19:42
  But I've been looking at working with more and more artists in the area such as, like, there's
• 19:45
  a song called Daisy that just came out.
• 19:48
  I don't know if I'll play that one tonight, but Ellen Springer, she's another keys player here
• 19:53
  in the area.
• 19:54
  I kind of recruited her to come and help out because I'm kind of under the the way of living
• 19:59
  of, like you know, a rising tide raises all ships.
• 20:03
  So I'm just kinda, like, pulling these people in and, like, kind of exposing them to
• 20:06
  recording and just kinda building relationships, and it's cool.
• 20:12
  Yeah.
• 20:12
  I love it, man.
• 20:13
  It came out great, and it's so fun.
• 20:16
  I'm working through some songs right now.
• 20:18
  We're pretty much done tracking.
• 20:20
  I got, one more song with the guitars I'm laying down, but, worked with some of my good
• 20:25
  friends, guys that I've known for a a long time out in Rapid City, Black Hills Area, South
• 20:30
  Dakota where I grew up and where, my musical journey kinda started.
• 20:34
  Right?
• 20:35
  And to get to work with my friends, and we're not in a band together, but because of, you
• 20:41
  know, their expertise as musicians and me having a lot of these stuff at least demoed at
• 20:47
  some point, live recordings or something, that I was able to highlight, hey.
• 20:51
  These are the songs.
• 20:53
  When we got in the studio, it's really efficient.
• 20:54
  I mean, it was, like, run through them one or two times, hit record, and that's really what
• 20:58
  you're hearing on the record.
• 21:01
  So looking forward to, getting those out there here soon this year.
• 21:05
  And, yeah, I I love the process.
• 21:08
  Like you said, collaboration is key, and a rising tide raises all ships.
• 21:13
  And getting to bring new people into the recording process, I think, is really cool that
• 21:17
  maybe wouldn't have that experience on their own.
• 21:20
  Right?
• 21:21
  They maybe don't have the wherewithal or they don't have the songs and getting to see people
• 21:26
  because that's their art.
• 21:27
  Whether they're just a musician, maybe they're not an artist and they're not writing their own
• 21:31
  music, that without you bringing them in, they maybe never get to have that experience.
• 21:36
  And then once you've done it, then you have a, you know, a a lot more to offer and to do.
• 21:43
  So, yeah, man.
• 21:44
  Very, very cool song.
• 21:46
  I really, I really liked it.
• 21:48
  Thank you.
• 21:49
  I appreciate it.
• 21:50
  It was an amazing song.
• 21:52
  I ain't gonna lie.
• 21:53
  Haven't heard the other one one of the ones you're gonna play tonight, the hardest thing to
• 21:59
  do when I upload these songs is not listen because I want to be just surprised as these
• 22:05
  guys are.
• 22:06
  Yeah.
• 22:06
  But it is so hard.
• 22:08
  I mean, I already got a preview of one of them because we talked about it on my show.
• 22:12
  Yep.
• 22:12
  But just to see your talent and your heart, you know, we talked about this on my show that you
• 22:18
  put into your music.
• 22:20
  I could see you going really far with your music.
• 22:23
  Thanks.
• 22:24
  I I really I try to stay as humble as I can because it's I at the end of the day, like I
• 22:30
  said, I'm not doing this for me.
• 22:31
  I'm doing this for I wanna I want people to get my you know, get their attention with the hat
• 22:36
  and, like, you know, the voice and stuff.
• 22:38
  But, like, once I have that, it's like, hey.
• 22:41
  This is as real as it gets, and I wanna lead them lead them to the cross.
• 22:43
  I wanna lead them to, like this is what god's done for me.
• 22:46
  This is what, you know, real living can look like.
• 22:49
  Like, it's not always pretty.
• 22:51
  It's not always perfect pitch.
• 22:52
  It's not always this, that, the other thing, but, like, this is a direction I think the
• 22:57
  country needs to the world needs to go.
• 23:00
  It's it's that.
• 23:00
  And it's it just leads back to the gospel, man.
• 23:03
  Like, it's that's what I've always done since the beginning, and I can probably say that I've
• 23:08
  always strived for that.
• 23:09
  Now I'm still playing party songs.
• 23:11
  I'm still having fun.
• 23:12
  It's not all, like, Christian and gospel music out there.
• 23:15
  Don't get me wrong.
• 23:16
  But at the end of the day, like, the heart of my message and the heart of my show is always
• 23:19
  that.
• 23:20
  And I I I see it working in people.
• 23:22
  I see that there's people hungry for that.
• 23:24
  It's it's very apparent more so than I would have originally thought.
• 23:30
  Chase, we had one of our super fans, Renee here, commented.
• 23:34
  Can you see the comment on your screen?
• 23:35
  Yes.
• 23:36
  I do.
• 23:36
  Sorry, man.
• 23:36
  I think my eyes are getting better.
• 23:37
  Now I see it now that I zoom in a little bit.
• 23:40
  Thank you.
• 23:41
  I really appreciate that.
• 23:45
  I've We'd love getting the
• 23:47
  go ahead, Chase.
• 23:48
  I sang with, like, the rasp right away, and I was like I was kinda joked, like, oh, I sing
• 23:52
  that way because it's because I don't know how to really sing.
• 23:55
  You know?
• 23:55
  Like, I wasn't trained or anything, but it's again, it's just a a raw raw vocals, and it
• 24:01
  seems to work.
• 24:03
  Awesome.
• 24:04
  And, yeah, another another comment here.
• 24:07
  Musical inspirations.
• 24:09
  I love it.
• 24:09
  What a great question, AJ.
• 24:11
  Thanks for throwing that in the chat.
• 24:13
  So, musically, I grew up listening to absolutely everything, and I know everybody
• 24:17
  says that, but it was, like, literally on my little iPod back in the day, you could have
• 24:21
  found Waylon Jennings, Johnny Cash, Tupac, Limp Bizkit, Nirvana, like, all of it.
• 24:28
  But at the end of the day, what I really took from music was a lot of Lynyrd Skynyrd for my
• 24:33
  guitar playing and the the chops and then everything that came from that was those guys.
• 24:38
  Even a little vocals from Ronnie Van Zant.
• 24:41
  But, like, as I got older, it was, like, need to breathe and some of these, kind of on the
• 24:47
  edge, like, Christian bands and stuff like that.
• 24:49
  But anything in between there too.
• 24:51
  But, yeah, I'd say mostly from those two those two rocks.
• 24:57
  Very cool.
• 24:57
  Thank you, AJ, for the great question, man.
• 24:59
  We're gonna have to bring you in to help us host this thing sometime.
• 25:03
  Which that's really funny because that's actually one of the questions I asked him on my
• 25:07
  show.
• 25:08
  Yeah.
• 25:08
  So he had a he had an answer for it already because he stumbled a little bit when I asked
• 25:14
  him the first time.
• 25:15
  Yeah.
• 25:18
  Well, that's why we do the podcast first.
• 25:21
  Right?
• 25:21
  We we we vet everyone and get them used to the process and the things that we like to ask, and
• 25:27
  then we bring you on Love Noise to do it live.
• 25:29
  And Yep.
• 25:30
  It's this show just continues to to amaze me because we don't just get to listen to the
• 25:37
  songs.
• 25:37
  We have the Scene Projects Radio right now where we're running out the songs, and people
• 25:41
  can tune in onthesceneprojects.com and and listen to this music.
• 25:45
  But they're not getting the stories behind it, and they're not getting to engage with the
• 25:49
  artists.
• 25:49
  And I thought that was really cool about the format of this show specifically, and Renee and
• 25:54
  AJ have been really gracious to kinda jump in here.
• 25:57
  We love throwing up the comments.
• 25:58
  We love like, it it's an open forum.
• 26:00
  Right?
• 26:00
  We might be the ones on camera, but, this is really a chance for everybody to engage with
• 26:06
  each other and and, yeah, to do that.
• 26:09
  Renee, specifically, are you talking, like, a a cover or a, an original of his?
• 26:19
  Wait and see if she answers.
• 26:20
  I guess I could I could answer both ways.
• 26:23
  Ali, go ahead.
• 26:24
  We'll answer both of them.
• 26:25
  I'll answer both ways.
• 26:26
  So as far as, like, a song that I didn't write, I I was actually just recently asked that.
• 26:32
  They were like, if you were like, if this was your last song, what were you saying?
• 26:34
  And it was actually kinda more simple than I thought.
• 26:37
  And I I was I was it was just at a gig the other day and I actually unplugged because
• 26:42
  there's people there for a while and then it slowed way down and I was just kinda sitting
• 26:45
  with some locals at the bar there with my guitar, and I started playing the acoustic
• 26:50
  version of Simple Man by Leonard Skynyrd.
• 26:52
  And it the way that that song hits, it's somewhere between their version and, like, the
• 26:56
  Shinedown version is kinda what I do.
• 26:59
  And it it still just feels like it just raises up hairs every time, and I I feel like that was
• 27:05
  a very truly written song.
• 27:07
  And then as far as originals goes, the one that hits home the most is one called that I'm gonna
• 27:13
  do tonight yet.
• 27:13
  It's called the devil's game, and it's simply at its core just a declaration of, like, hey.
• 27:19
  This is my life, Satan, and you can't have control of it anymore.
• 27:24
  I'm gonna do this god's way, and I'm gonna do this for myself and my family, and there's no
• 27:30
  more of your meddling in my business.
• 27:33
  Is
• 27:34
  that one you're gonna play live for us tonight, Chase?
• 27:37
  Yeah.
• 27:37
  Yep.
• 27:37
  Let's let's do it right now, man.
• 27:39
  You got the guitar handy?
• 27:41
  It's right here.
• 27:44
  I just changed strings today.
• 27:45
  We'll see if they stayed in tune for me.
• 27:47
  Well, you go ahead and tune up, and we're gonna mute boo boo's dogs.
• 27:54
  Alright.
• 27:55
  He's like, what?
• 28:02
  Oh god.
• 28:03
  You good to go, Chase?
• 28:04
  Oh, yeah.
• 28:10
  Could you tell me what's going on in my head?
• 28:15
  Because it's been a minute since I've been myself happy or sad.
• 28:21
  There's no pain.
• 28:23
  It's a cloud of mine alone, I feel so ashamed.
• 28:27
  Caught in the storm, and my mind's in a war.
• 28:32
  There's been days I couldn't make it out the door.
• 28:35
  I'll be damned if I let it define me.
• 28:40
  Let the word set me free.
• 28:43
  The devil plays his games around me, but he can't have my life anymore.
• 28:52
  Because I've gone round for round trying to do this all alone.
• 28:58
  Saying I'm fine,
• 28:59
  but I'm a live
• 29:00
  it alone.
• 29:02
  Don't be a non towards ones that I love.
• 29:06
  Let the lord take control.
• 29:09
  Talent, rhythm take the wheel.
• 29:11
  I put my faith in words.
• 29:14
  Just trying to find myself again.
• 29:17
  Songs that I rhyme.
• 29:27
  He wrote a good intent.
• 29:28
  The truth is hard to find.
• 29:31
  Lay down these birds, try to make up the time that I spend searching for help that I needed.
• 29:40
  A foolish pride was too stubborn to see.
• 29:43
  I was trying to strike a balance
• 29:45
  with my
• 29:46
  heart and my hair.
• 29:48
  Silence of doubt that's fenced I'm constantly fed.
• 29:52
  Because my whole life, I stepped up to the plane, striking out before I could swing.
• 29:59
  The devil plays his games around me, Well, he can't have my vibe anymore.
• 30:08
  Because I've gone round for round trying to do this all alone.
• 30:13
  Say I'm fine, but I'm a leave it alone.
• 30:17
  Jumping numb towards the ones that I love.
• 30:22
  I let the Lord take control.
• 30:25
  I'll let the rhythm take the wheel.
• 30:27
  I put my faith in the words.
• 30:29
  Just trying to find myself again in the songs that I write.
• 30:41
  God, I'm down on my knees, and I'm begging you, please.
• 30:46
  It's my kids and my wife, man.
• 30:48
  They're gonna need me.
• 30:50
  But my broken mind's a million miles away from the man that you want me to be.
• 30:59
  The devil plays his game.
• 31:24
  I'll let rhythm take the wheel.
• 31:27
  I put my faith in the words.
• 31:42
  Awesome stuff, Chase.
• 31:43
  Sorry.
• 31:44
  That was my bad, guys.
• 31:45
  I was trying to bring up the mic volume a little bit, and then it clipped out.
• 31:48
  So it cut it cut off about five seconds in there, but, my bad.
• 31:53
  We're we're learning on the fly, Chase.
• 31:55
  Beautiful song, man.
• 31:57
  Thank you.
• 32:01
  Yeah.
• 32:01
  That's one of those ones that every single word is straight from the heart.
• 32:06
  That was a that was a tough song to write.
• 32:07
  That was a tough one to get out.
• 32:08
  I felt like I was always under attack every time I went to go finish it or even in the
• 32:13
  recording process.
• 32:13
  I was always just something.
• 32:14
  Like, even the day I recorded the vocals, I was actually pretty hoarse from the weekend before
• 32:20
  gigging and just the sickness that had hit me.
• 32:22
  And I was like, oh, I don't know if I'm gonna like this today.
• 32:24
  Like, we might as well push it off for next week.
• 32:26
  And I'm like, no.
• 32:27
  That's enough waiting around it.
• 32:28
  It was always something.
• 32:30
  Not not just me, but, like, there's always just, like, a weird roadblock that would just
• 32:34
  pop up, I'm like, no.
• 32:36
  That's it.
• 32:36
  We're doing it.
• 32:37
  We're and I actually kinda liked the way my vocal sounded at the end of it.
• 32:41
  It was almost like a little bit of rawness to my voice.
• 32:44
  So I was like, okay.
• 32:45
  That was it.
• 32:45
  We we got it.
• 32:48
  Yeah.
• 32:48
  And I think you just absolutely great.
• 32:51
  I loved it, and you killed it there.
• 32:53
  And I think that that touch to your voice really added a different depth to the song
• 32:58
  itself that wouldn't have been there without it.
• 33:02
  Yeah.
• 33:02
  That may be true.
• 33:03
  It it does.
• 33:05
  Could be.
• 33:07
  Well and I I it's part of who you are, that kind of gravelly grittiness, and and it speaks
• 33:12
  to the troubadour that you are.
• 33:14
  I mean, I I'm on your Facebook all the time, man.
• 33:16
  You are always playing shows.
• 33:18
  How many shows a year do you play, Chase?
• 33:20
  So this is my most so far this year.
• 33:23
  Actually, by the end of this weekend, I'll be over a 100.
• 33:25
  I think I'll be at one zero two.
• 33:27
  And I'm looking at expanding that next year because, honestly, if you think about it this
• 33:31
  year, it was about the first five months that I was still about, you know, kind of part time
• 33:36
  with this.
• 33:37
  It's only been since so May after my son was born, was May 13, and then I took about a three
• 33:42
  week little break.
• 33:44
  And then once he was stable, I started gigging again at least Thursday through Saturday.
• 33:51
  And but but now I've been able to add some Wednesdays in there, some Sundays.
• 33:55
  So, I mean, this time next year, I might be looking at double that.
• 33:59
  It might be 200 something.
• 34:00
  And when you're that busy, there's never really time to to let the let the vocal cords rest
• 34:06
  than to be perfect.
• 34:08
  Right?
• 34:08
  To be in perfect shape.
• 34:09
  Because even if you do that Yeah.
• 34:11
  You could get sick.
• 34:12
  You could do anything.
• 34:13
  So I I love the attitude of just like, no, devil.
• 34:16
  This song's gotta get out, and and I don't care about the perfect setting.
• 34:21
  It's not about that anyway.
• 34:23
  It's about getting these songs out there and just doing it.
• 34:27
  So I love it, man.
• 34:28
  Everything that it stands for.
• 34:30
  Thank you.
• 34:30
  You know, I told you the other day when I when I thought and I'll I'll say it again.
• 34:35
  The heart that goes into that, you know, it was a little different this time.
• 34:40
  You think so?
• 34:42
  And not saying in a bad way because it was live.
• 34:45
  So the the more emotion is even more there than when you hear it on a recording.
• 34:51
  Oh, right.
• 34:52
  Because we didn't play that one live.
• 34:54
  We just listened to that one.
• 34:55
  Yes.
• 34:55
  That's right.
• 34:56
  Think the emotion, it even brings it more more full circle once you hear it hear you play the
• 35:03
  song live.
• 35:04
  Mhmm.
• 35:06
  Yeah.
• 35:06
  That's and that's really at the end of the day, it's it's I always just see authenticity
• 35:12
  authenticity.
• 35:13
  That's what I'm trying to to preach out there.
• 35:16
  AJ had a guitar question.
• 35:18
  He asked, is that a Dave Grohl signature behind you?
• 35:21
  So it's actually kind of.
• 35:23
  It is technically, but it's like the Chinese rip off of that one.
• 35:26
  I bought this guitar just on a on a whim on a trade one time, and I just thought it was kinda
• 35:31
  pretty.
• 35:31
  So I threw it up there.
• 35:32
  I honestly don't even play it that much because it doesn't sound that great.
• 35:35
  It needs a little work.
• 35:36
  But, yes, it is the Dave Grohl kind of signature.
• 35:40
  Yep.
• 35:43
  I am,
• 35:44
  where he
• 35:44
  says, well, authenticity,
• 35:45
  and I got a Chinese knockout
• 35:46
  for it.
• 35:50
  Hey, man.
• 35:50
  We we play the guitars we can afford, brother.
• 35:53
  Wow.
• 35:53
  That's just it too.
• 35:54
  Yeah.
• 35:54
  We can't all afford the nineteen sixties Gibsons or anything like that, but, no, it's I
• 35:58
  I do play it every once in while.
• 36:00
  It's a good sounding little thing.
• 36:01
  It's got the coil splits in it.
• 36:02
  It's kinda cool.
• 36:04
  Awesome.
• 36:04
  Recordings a few times.
• 36:07
  Sweet.
• 36:08
  Yeah.
• 36:08
  Very sweet.
• 36:09
  Oh, man.
• 36:13
  Yeah.
• 36:14
  Do we just keep rolling on with the music, guys?
• 36:16
  I'm really enjoying listening to all the Chase songs.
• 36:19
  Like I said, I usually I usually catch you on a quick Facebook Live while I'm kinda scrolling
• 36:24
  around.
• 36:25
  I give it a share into the Steam Projects group, and and sometimes that's it.
• 36:29
  You know?
• 36:29
  We're we're busy guys producing content and always on the move.
• 36:34
  But, yeah, we I wanna I wanna listen to some more music, Willie.
• 36:38
  What's what's the next one?
• 36:39
  We got another we got another recording dialed up?
• 36:43
  Or Yep.
• 36:44
  It's center like me.
• 36:46
  Alright.
• 37:01
  So.
• 37:01
  World's gone tight and the story's been cold.
• 37:04
  Her last leg, she tries to stand.
• 37:07
  Della runs wild all across the land.
• 37:41
  And I can't stand.
• 37:44
  He's the son of man.
• 37:47
  The prince of peace is shining light in this whole world.
• 37:54
  Rose from the grave, took the blame and he paid it all.
• 38:01
  Sitting alone.
• 38:39
  And alive.
• 38:40
  Just believe and let the soul be free.
• 38:47
  They call him the king of kings.
• 38:51
  The prince of peace to shine a light on this cold world.
• 38:56
  He's the son of man.
• 38:59
  Peace in the storm of strength when I can't stand.
• 39:06
  Rose from
• 39:41
  Yes, sir, Chase.
• 39:42
  That gives me some, like, oh, brother, where art thou vibes?
• 39:48
  Oh, y'all have to unmute yourself, buddy.
• 39:50
  I can't unmute you.
• 39:50
  You're good.
• 39:51
  There we go.
• 39:52
  Yeah.
• 39:52
  Yeah.
• 39:53
  I can kinda see that.
• 39:55
  I don't know.
• 39:56
  I kinda got the rocker vibe from it a little bit.
• 39:59
  I mean
• 40:00
  It's that drop d thing, I think, that's
• 40:03
  kinda Well, it's almost like a Tesla or something.
• 40:05
  Right?
• 40:05
  Like, one of those old, the acoustic acoustic rock rock bands. Bands.
• 40:08
  Bands.
• 40:09
  Yeah.
• 40:10
  Yeah.
• 40:11
  Somewhere in between that.
• 40:12
  And I wanted to throw this comment up here.
• 40:14
  Oh, let's switch the view back to this now.
• 40:18
  And Renee Renee said that she loved that you played live on the podcast.
• 40:24
  And, yeah, I know you you thought you were playing this one live right now.
• 40:28
  For a second.
• 40:28
  And then I'm like, oh, gosh.
• 40:29
  They're playing it.
• 40:30
  Like, they're playing the recording.
• 40:31
  I'm like, I'm backing up.
• 40:32
  Well, you know what?
• 40:33
  I mean, we got no rules here, man.
• 40:35
  Do you wanna give us the acoustic version of that too since you're already kinda dialed it
• 40:39
  up?
• 40:39
  Let's I let's go, This is for Renee.
• 40:55
  I know that you've been sold, but the world's growing tired and the story's been told.
• 41:00
  Her last leg, she tries to stand as Deborah runs wild across her land.
• 41:10
  People talking about a man with a fire in his eye and a horn in his hands.
• 41:16
  Gates ahead to four winds blow.
• 41:18
  There they gather, bring us on.
• 41:25
  They call him the king of kings.
• 41:29
  Prince of peace, the shining light on this cold world.
• 41:33
  He's the
• 41:34
  son of man.
• 41:37
  Peace in the storm, the strength when I can't stand.
• 41:43
  Rose from that grave, took the blame, and he paid it all.
• 41:50
  For sinners like me.
• 42:01
  Rise up and claim you'll be safe.
• 42:04
  Let him in your heart make a brand new start.
• 42:07
  Resurrection and the life.
• 42:09
  If you just believe, let your soul be free.
• 42:16
  Then call him the king of kings, prince of peace to shine a light on this cold world.
• 42:24
  He's a son of man.
• 42:27
  He sends the storm astray when I can't stand.
• 42:34
  Rose from that green, took the flame, paid it all for sinner like me.
• 42:46
  Oh, sinner like me.
• 43:09
  Yeah, buddy.
• 43:10
  Yeah.
• 43:10
  And you know what?
• 43:11
  Because I was kinda rocking out with the beat so much there, that I didn't catch all the
• 43:16
  words.
• 43:16
  Right?
• 43:17
  I was kind of in the vibe of the song and having you play it here, you know, because the
• 43:22
  the mix is different.
• 43:23
  Right?
• 43:23
  The guitar is a lot quieter when we have you play here, and and I really focus on that, on
• 43:29
  the words.
• 43:31
  I mean, that that's a gospel song.
• 43:32
  Right?
• 43:33
  Like, that's that's a church song with a rock, you know, bluegrass feel.
• 43:38
  And, yeah, what a great tune, man.
• 43:41
  You're an awesome songwriter, Chase.
• 43:43
  Thank you.
• 43:45
  It it just kinda comes not every day, like, I know that some people write songs every day.
• 43:51
  I'm not blessed in that aspect, but when I do get them, when I they come kinda like in a
• 43:56
  thought or in a dream or I wake up with something, it it just I grab it and I go with
• 44:02
  it and I roll with it and it it
• 44:04
  I'm
• 44:11
  getting a cough button for boo boo.
• 44:13
  Don't worry, Chase.
• 44:19
  Oh, killer stuff, man.
• 44:21
  I appreciate you just, gunning it out and playing live for us on here.
• 44:26
  I think it's so cool.
• 44:27
  I think our fans appreciate it.
• 44:29
  I I know Renee's appreciating it.
• 44:32
  Little fun fact about Renee, huge Denny's fan.
• 44:36
  So throwing that out there, a little inside baseball.
• 44:45
  Where's she from?
• 44:49
  Without giving away her address, she's down around where Willie is in Central Missouri.
• 44:53
  Oh, nice.
• 44:54
  Have to get down you're gonna have to come down and see us.
• 44:58
  We got a big festival coming up down that way, May 16.
• 45:04
  So
• 45:05
  I think I'm going to actually end up being at the one in September.
• 45:08
  Okay.
• 45:09
  Sweet.
• 45:10
  Yep.
• 45:10
  Yeah.
• 45:10
  The one in September is gonna be right in your town.
• 45:13
  Right, Willie?
• 45:14
  Yeah.
• 45:14
  It'll be right here in Salem, Missouri.
• 45:18
  That's awesome.
• 45:19
  Oh, that's your squeaky chair too.
• 45:20
  It that chair puts a lot of work in during the week, doesn't it, Willie?
• 45:24
  That's right.
• 45:25
  I love the way
• 45:26
  it hugs me.
• 45:27
  Uh-oh.
• 45:29
  I hear a monkey.
• 45:30
  She should be in bed.
• 45:34
  Yes, sir.
• 45:35
  And he's talking.
• 45:36
  Yeah.
• 45:37
  Oh, man.
• 45:38
  I love when our kids make appearances on here, and it's it's special.
• 45:45
  Right?
• 45:45
  Like, we don't we don't shy away from it.
• 45:49
  I'm gonna just in case he's gotta attack a small child.
• 45:57
  Alright.
• 45:57
  I was I was protecting Willie just in case.
• 46:02
  That's right.
• 46:03
  That's right, Renee.
• 46:04
  Willie's boss showed up.
• 46:06
  Willie's boss.
• 46:07
  Yeah.
• 46:09
  See, thanks.
• 46:10
  My boss.
• 46:11
  Oh, brother she is, man.
• 46:13
  If you haven't figured that out yet, then, it's you who has the problem, sir.
• 46:19
  Hey.
• 46:19
  Hey.
• 46:20
  That's what little girls are for.
• 46:22
  They have daddy be wrapped all around daddy's fingers.
• 46:24
  Okay?
• 46:25
  Yep.
• 46:26
  That's right, man.
• 46:27
  And that's why we love having her.
• 46:29
  And exactly what you were talking about earlier, you know, on your guys' episode that,
• 46:33
  you know, the kids are kinda coming in and out.
• 46:35
  And, you know, I think some people would wanna, you know, to edit that out.
• 46:40
  Right?
• 46:40
  And, like, oh, the podcast has to be perfect.
• 46:43
  That's not what these things are about.
• 46:45
  Right?
• 46:45
  These are about showing people that, like, we are real people.
• 46:49
  This isn't AI.
• 46:50
  This isn't a a a studio.
• 46:52
  This is this is real life.
• 46:54
  And and sometimes the baby wakes up because she's got a nightmare, and sometimes she just
• 47:00
  don't wanna go to bed at quarter to ten at night.
• 47:02
  Right?
• 47:02
  Like, it's just it's part of our lives.
• 47:05
  And and, you know, Boo Boo's the younger statesman here, And, you know, he doesn't have
• 47:11
  kids of his own yet, but he's got dogs.
• 47:13
  We hear the dogs occasionally in the background, and it's this is real.
• 47:18
  And that's what the the scene projects and what's you know, especially this show when we
• 47:24
  do it live.
• 47:24
  That's what it's all about.
• 47:25
  And that's why, you know, it it makes it makes it all the better to do it.
• 47:34
  And you couldn't be more right there, Renee.
• 47:36
  And it gives us a chance to engage with our fans too.
• 47:39
  You know?
• 47:40
  I've never met Renee in person, but she's been a huge, supporter of this show since we kicked
• 47:45
  it off a few weeks ago.
• 47:47
  And and it's important for us to be able to share these moments with that fan base.
• 47:52
  And, you know, a year from now when, there's there's hundreds of people tuning in live and
• 47:59
  getting to know us and our families, like, that's what's gonna make it special when we go
• 48:04
  out and start touring with these shows.
• 48:06
  And our artists go out and tour, and they're landing in these areas where our fans are at.
• 48:10
  Like, there's there's so much of this dream yet to be realized.
• 48:16
  And I think I've always had this 30,000 foot view of it and seeing what it could be before
• 48:23
  it ever gets there that, I was in tears.
• 48:27
  The first night we shot our first episode of Love Noise, and I got to share my songs with
• 48:32
  the fellas And just realizing what that was gonna mean for guys like you, Chase, and guys
• 48:39
  like Dalton Jones and coming on and sharing it, it was just like, man, if they're gonna get
• 48:44
  this feeling like we're gonna get to do this every week for the rest of our lives, like, oh
• 48:50
  my goodness.
• 48:51
  I I can't I can't wait.
• 48:53
  I can't wait.
• 48:54
  So man.
• 48:56
  Yeah.
• 48:56
  And that's that's what makes it so great about this is because even with the realness, like,
• 49:02
  you know, with connecting with Bubba, you know, my three year old, and I can say now three
• 49:07
  because she had a birthday Sunday, but she goes to bed sometimes watching my episodes on
• 49:16
  replay.
• 49:17
  So it's like and it's not because I make her.
• 49:21
  I promise it's not because I make her.
• 49:24
  But she's like, daddy, I would've wanted to watch your podcast.
• 49:27
  Or you know?
• 49:28
  And that's to what I want people to see is that no matter how you feel or where you're at, and
• 49:34
  that's what I love about Bubba and what he brings to the table is that there's that
• 49:39
  realness to it that whether you're a struggling parent or struggling with addiction, whatever
• 49:45
  the struggle is, that, you know, it's okay to not be perfect.
• 49:51
  It's okay to have, as Renee likes to say, my boss come in.
• 49:56
  But, you know, and it I'll kinda give my own little shout out to Renee.
• 50:03
  She's a she's an amazing person.
• 50:05
  She definitely encourages me when I feel that my back's up against the wall.
• 50:11
  So it's great having that support on a different level.
• 50:17
  Yeah.
• 50:17
  I think you guys have started something really pretty cool here.
• 50:20
  And it's I didn't get a chance to meet you down at the CMOs, but I remember you accepting your
• 50:26
  award, Bubba, and I thought that was pretty cool.
• 50:27
  I was like, I was curious as to, like, oh, I wonder what his podcast network is all about
• 50:31
  that he got this award and quickly got to realize what it was about as we connected, you
• 50:37
  know, just weeks later.
• 50:40
  Yeah.
• 50:40
  It's about you.
• 50:41
  You know?
• 50:42
  It's about you, and it's about all of these artists.
• 50:45
  And, really, how I kicked off that show and how I kicked off the podcast was I started it in,
• 50:51
  like, March '24.
• 50:53
  So I was very fresh, and I knew, I had just joined the Midwest CMO.
• 51:00
  I had just joined in, like, February.
• 51:02
  I was releasing my own songs, and I was like, oh, okay.
• 51:05
  And Brad Morgan shout out to Brad Morgan and his wife Nikki who had just have so much to do,
• 51:10
  especially with the award show.
• 51:11
  And they it was so thrilling to see them kinda get the, you know, the recognition this year of
• 51:17
  all of that hard work that they put in from the organization.
• 51:20
  But that's was a family.
• 51:22
  And and before kind of before knowing what it was, like, I knew that when I showed up there
• 51:29
  for our first award show, not knowing anyone and not really having any time to meet anyone,
• 51:35
  that I was bringing my microphones.
• 51:36
  And I was just gonna take up some space during jam night.
• 51:39
  We were at the gardens in Okoboji, and I just was like, hey.
• 51:44
  I'm gonna take over this table, and we're gonna sit here.
• 51:47
  And we had 25 artists fill out a little just a little piece of paper of just like, what's your
• 51:51
  name?
• 51:52
  What do you have coming out that I can and it just gave me a little bit to have a five, ten
• 51:56
  minute conversation.
• 51:57
  And we all sat down.
• 51:58
  We did 25 interviews that night, and it was it was right then that I was like, oh, this is
• 52:04
  what we do now.
• 52:05
  Right?
• 52:05
  Like, yeah, I came here as an artist and as a member of of this thing, but I know my place in
• 52:11
  this now.
• 52:12
  And and and now I think we've inspired others.
• 52:15
  You know?
• 52:15
  Corey Waller and the wicked things got their own podcast now, which is just about them.
• 52:20
  Like, they're they're such a show to themselves that all they gotta do is and it's called get
• 52:24
  in the van.
• 52:25
  And I highly recommend everybody go on YouTube and go check it out.
• 52:29
  And it's just following them around on tour, man.
• 52:32
  The these amazing individuals are traveling around the country playing all this music and
• 52:37
  doing these shows, and now, you know, they were up in Sioux Falls just a few weeks ago.
• 52:42
  And I get to go on their show now and watch the show that I was at, getting to follow them up
• 52:47
  to Minnesota where they played the live in festival.
• 52:49
  And PT's up there.
• 52:50
  That's a big that's one of his, you know, foundations and big causes that he supports.
• 52:54
  Shout out to Paul Thomas, the founder and kind of our, you know, our fearless leader of the
• 53:00
  Midwest CMO.
• 53:01
  But he inspired me to start so much of what we're doing.
• 53:05
  Right?
• 53:06
  The Midwest original music organization.
• 53:08
  It's not because I I want to be competition with the Midwest CMO.
• 53:12
  It's because we all could do so much more.
• 53:15
  Right?
• 53:15
  Like, our our not all of our networks overlap in that way, and I had so many friends of mine
• 53:21
  that, were outside of country music that wouldn't necessarily put themselves in that box
• 53:26
  for one reason or another.
• 53:27
  And instead of trying to just, like, well, for like, just come into this, come into this.
• 53:32
  It was like, well, hey.
• 53:33
  Here's the Midwest Original Music Organization.
• 53:36
  You have original music.
• 53:37
  Right?
• 53:38
  Join this.
• 53:38
  And we're really trying to focus on the factor, the networking and connection factors, and
• 53:45
  bringing people into these other worlds.
• 53:48
  And and just it's already grown so much.
• 53:51
  Right?
• 53:51
  And this year, we were on the red carpet and we did 35 interviews this year.
• 53:56
  Right?
• 53:57
  And now, I've announced it on our Facebook page and everything, but I'm gonna be at the Josie
• 54:01
  Music Awards covering their event and in Media Village and and, like, elevating what we're
• 54:06
  doing and bringing to the table.
• 54:08
  This weekend, I'll be at the Cinch playoffs Governors Cup covering the rodeo and talking to
• 54:13
  fans.
• 54:13
  Like, the opportunities to just go and support other communities continue to come up, and
• 54:20
  we're so willing.
• 54:21
  And I think that's kinda what sets the scene projects apart is because, hey.
• 54:25
  Record.
• 54:25
  Let's go.
• 54:26
  Like, I'm here to talk to y'all.
• 54:27
  I'm here.
• 54:28
  I like doing these things.
• 54:29
  So let's talk.
• 54:31
  And, you know, at this point, we have so much momentum.
• 54:35
  Right?
• 54:35
  Like, how could I ever stop doing it?
• 54:38
  Yeah.
• 54:38
  And that, you know, you shouldn't.
• 54:40
  It I can feel it that, you know, you have a passion for it, and it's I can see it working.
• 54:45
  I can see it in so many different aspects it's working.
• 54:49
  Renee, once again, with the comment of the night.
• 54:51
  Appreciate that, Chase.
• 54:52
  Yeah.
• 54:53
  She's, we're gonna start sending I'm a start doing a T shirt for, for the the, comment of
• 55:00
  the night.

• 55:29
  Check out the sceneprojects.com.
• 55:31
  You can book with Boo Boo and Willie.
• 55:34
  Our boy, El Pablo, one time was in in the studio with us for a bit.
• 55:38
  His phone probably died again.
• 55:40
  We didn't get a chance to feature him in the show, but that's the nature of the beast, man.
• 55:45
  I'm sure he's watching on the computer and, following along on the show.
• 55:50
  We got another recording we're gonna play, Willie?
• 55:55
  Unless he wants to do another one live.
• 55:57
  Yeah.
• 55:59
  Hey.
• 55:59
  Before we get too far in that, I gotta step away quick.
• 56:02
  I just wanted to let you guys know before I did.
• 56:05
  Alright.
• 56:05
  We always have the private chat too, buddy.
• 56:07
  You can let us know in there.
• 56:08
  Alright.
• 56:09
  Appreciate you, boo boo.
• 56:12
  Why don't we play a recording, and we'll give Chase vocal cords a little bit of a rest.
• 56:16
  He's got shows this weekend, I'm sure too.
• 56:19
  We don't know you're gonna blow it out on a Wednesday night, singing for a couple of fools
• 56:23
  like us, Willie.
• 56:26
  Speak for yourself.
• 56:27
  I'm no fool.
• 56:29
  It's not what your boss said.
• 56:32
  Jerry.
• 56:33
  Jerry.
• 56:35
  Alright.
• 56:36
  And this is angels above me.
• 56:57
  River and the road carry me home to the ocean.
• 57:05
  Friends in my life like the stars in the sky leave the lights on.
• 57:13
  The river and the road carry me home to the ocean.
• 57:21
  The angels above me, they sing that they love me alone.
• 57:29
  So traveling alone so far from home and alone.
• 57:34
  Alone, all the angels or angels, don't leave me.
• 57:46
  Just trying to get to her with the love she deserves alone, please.
• 57:53
  Because I've been playing this guitar laying underneath the stars for you.
• 58:01
  In the light of the moon, I'll be forever singing tunes for you.
• 58:10
  When the stars are alive like the colors in your eyes, greens and blues.
• 58:18
  It's not winter weather.
• 58:20
  We'll always be together.
• 58:22
  It's true.
• 58:27
  Angels above me, they sing that they love me alone.
• 58:34
  Traveling alone so far from home and alone.
• 58:42
  All the angels and angels, please don't leave me.
• 59:15
  And sometimes I feel like my heart's gonna burst at the seams.
• 59:23
  And sometimes I feel like it's the love that we want, all we need.
• 59:31
  And Let me be home.
• 59:54
  I'm feeling like I'm feeling searching for some meaning of it all.
• 1:00:02
  Because I spend all my days trying to make some sense of it all.
• 1:00:10
  The oceans and the seas and the wind blown trees are changing.
• 1:00:18
  Your love for me is all I need to keep believing.
• 1:00:26
  The angels above me, they sing that they love me alone.
• 1:00:34
  Just traveling alone so far from home and alone.
• 1:00:42
  All the angels, angels pleased only me.
• 1:00:51
  Just running into her with the love she deserves alone, please.
• 1:00:58
  Lord, please, It's only me.
• 1:01:06
  It's only me.
• 1:01:14
  Great song, Chase.
• 1:01:19
  You're muted again, buddy.
• 1:01:22
  Whoops.
• 1:01:23
  Okay.
• 1:01:23
  Can you hear me now?
• 1:01:24
  Yeah.
• 1:01:26
  So, yeah, before we get too far on that one, this is actually the only song on the album
• 1:01:31
  that's not an original.
• 1:01:33
  It's actually a cover, and I wasn't originally gonna do that.
• 1:01:36
  I had a I had a song that it was about three quarters written for my son, and I just
• 1:01:41
  couldn't seem to find the best way to finish the song.
• 1:01:45
  It's just I always hit a roadblock with it.
• 1:01:47
  And and, again, it could be just, you know, just me or maybe it's just feels like it's a
• 1:01:52
  more of a spiritual attack, but, like, I couldn't finish it.
• 1:01:54
  And just didn't feel like the right timing.
• 1:01:57
  So this song that I chose instead for it's gonna be the last song on the album.
• 1:02:04
  It's actually a cover of a reggae song.
• 1:02:06
  It's a group called stick figure, and I would have never chose that for a country rock album.
• 1:02:12
  But what what was special about it is in the hospital when I was singing these songs, I had
• 1:02:18
  this very same guitar in there singing him these songs.
• 1:02:21
  And there was a day that I was singing him a bunch of country songs like I do.
• 1:02:25
  And as he was kinda making faces, my wife was holding him, and he was kinda like almost like
• 1:02:30
  he didn't like country.
• 1:02:31
  And I was like, what?
• 1:02:32
  You know?
• 1:02:33
  Like, well, that's great because that's all I sing, you know, hardly.
• 1:02:36
  And so I was like, well, I gotta try something.
• 1:02:38
  And so I I threw a a reggae song at the wall, what was funny about this one is when I sang
• 1:02:44
  it, whenever I sang it, it seemed like his oxygen levels rose.
• 1:02:49
  His heart rate went down.
• 1:02:50
  Everything just, like, kinda clipped where it should be.
• 1:02:54
  Like, all of his numbers were just very steady.
• 1:02:57
  And so I was kinda joked that it was his favorite song.
• 1:03:02
  And I I, at this point, truly think it was, and I got to sing it at his funeral service.
• 1:03:06
  And I knew at some point that I was like, I need to record this.
• 1:03:11
  This is a a special song for him.
• 1:03:17
  Yeah, man.
• 1:03:17
  Thanks for sharing that story.
• 1:03:19
  It makes it that much sweeter.
• 1:03:22
  And, it doesn't sound like a reggae song.
• 1:03:25
  No.
• 1:03:25
  No.
• 1:03:26
  You still you still, you know, Chase granted it.
• 1:03:30
  That's right.
• 1:03:31
  And you made it you, and I don't think any of us would have ever assumed that that was
• 1:03:35
  somebody else's song whatsoever.
• 1:03:37
  And I I think it allows you to cross over a little bit into that world now too and to kinda
• 1:03:44
  put that out into some stick figure groups and to say, hey.
• 1:03:47
  This is my my take on on the song that they did, and this is why.
• 1:03:51
  I think that story is gonna resonate with people a lot out there, and it's gonna endear
• 1:03:58
  people that are big fans of that band, which Stickfury is huge.
• 1:04:01
  My brother's seen him a couple of times at Red Rocks, and, you know, they're they're big in
• 1:04:06
  that reggae world right now and only continuing to rise.
• 1:04:10
  So not that it was ever your intention.
• 1:04:13
  Right?
• 1:04:13
  Like, you your your your attachment to it is completely personal.
• 1:04:18
  And Yeah.
• 1:04:19
  That's going to just endear you to this other group of fans that may not necessarily ever
• 1:04:25
  hear your music because most reggae people aren't listening to country music.
• 1:04:30
  Right?
• 1:04:30
  So Exactly.
• 1:04:32
  Awesome.
• 1:04:32
  You need to, you need to send that to them.
• 1:04:35
  You need to reach out into their world and make sure that they hear that and they hear that
• 1:04:39
  story.
• 1:04:40
  And, I think, I think that's gonna be a special thing.
• 1:04:44
  And I think it's gonna mean something to them as well to to know what it meant to you and
• 1:04:49
  your son and just the the entire story and the fact that you were, you know, covering their
• 1:04:55
  song.
• 1:04:55
  I think because they're still not so big that they're unreachable.
• 1:05:01
  Right?
• 1:05:02
  Right.
• 1:05:02
  And this is a band that ground their teeth, out on the road and touring and building a fan base
• 1:05:09
  one, you know, one fan at a time.
• 1:05:11
  So I think it would really mean a lot to them.
• 1:05:13
  So if you're not gonna send it to him, I'm sending him this episode.
• 1:05:16
  No.
• 1:05:18
  I would encourage you to.
• 1:05:19
  I I I definitely should reach out.
• 1:05:21
  So my buddy, Max Hagman, that I play with a lot, and I actually wanna get him in touch with
• 1:05:25
  you because he needs a little push in the he's so talented, and he's got some original stuff
• 1:05:32
  that's coming that he has out and that is coming.
• 1:05:34
  But I need to keep reeling him into it because he definitely needs to be heard.
• 1:05:39
  And, he knows those guys personally.
• 1:05:41
  Like, just on a whim, he knows, like, another group called the Elevators who opened up for
• 1:05:47
  those for StickFigure at one point, they're all good buddies.
• 1:05:49
  And he's, very deep into that reggae world, and that's that's mostly how I came into it.
• 1:05:54
  I actually knew stick figure before I met him, but then just happened to be that was a
• 1:05:58
  connection that we had for the love of that group.
• 1:06:00
  And, yeah, very, very solid group of guys.
• 1:06:03
  And and, again, it's just like kinda like what we're all doing here.
• 1:06:06
  They're just super down to earth.
• 1:06:07
  They're not they're not crazy famous.
• 1:06:09
  They're not even if they are, they're they don't let it get to their heads.
• 1:06:13
  They're all really good people.
• 1:06:17
  That's incredible.
• 1:06:17
  Well, yeah, that that collaboration is coming.
• 1:06:20
  I I think it would be really cool, you know, a year down the road from now that they cut a
• 1:06:26
  country version of this song with you singing it with them, and and I think a collaboration
• 1:06:31
  is coming.
• 1:06:32
  And, the fact that you know, you know, you're one degree of separation from them.
• 1:06:37
  Right?
• 1:06:37
  I mean, have you met the guy then or just that Max is friends with him and
• 1:06:43
  No.
• 1:06:43
  Just that Max is friends with him.
• 1:06:45
  And then he's pretty deep in that reggae world with, he's playing actually, he's on tour in
• 1:06:49
  California right now, with a guy named Brandon Clemente who was another pretty up and coming
• 1:06:56
  reggae dude as well.
• 1:06:57
  And they're they just opened for this one festival is called Everwild out in Ohio, and it
• 1:07:03
  was headlined by Steven and Damian Marley.
• 1:07:06
  Bob's, like, two kids that are the biggest musicians out of all of them.
• 1:07:11
  Yeah.
• 1:07:12
  So a degree of separation between that that I opened up for, quote, unquote, was I playing at
• 1:07:19
  a place called The Rave in Milwaukee.
• 1:07:22
  Cool venue.
• 1:07:23
  I hope it's still open.
• 1:07:24
  But, we played, like, the sidebar stage, before Damian and the Whalers Mhmm.
• 1:07:31
  Got up on stage and rocked it out, man.
• 1:07:33
  So a pretty cool full man, that was so long ago.
• 1:07:38
  That was so long I wanna say that was, like, 2010 maybe, fifteen years ago.
• 1:07:43
  Right?
• 1:07:43
  Long time.
• 1:07:44
  But, yeah, Very cool.
• 1:07:47
  It's funny how the world's, it it gets so small, especially in the independent music
• 1:07:53
  scene, and and it's gonna continue for us as we elevate.
• 1:07:58
  Right?
• 1:07:58
  I mean, I'm covering events at the Denny Sanford Premier Center.
• 1:08:01
  We have Kevin Gates tickets we're giving away from Live Nation.
• 1:08:04
  Right?
• 1:08:04
  Like, we're already in in that world and have grown so much faster than I think we'd ever
• 1:08:09
  dreamed.
• 1:08:10
  Willie's in talks with, amphitheater down by him about coming and starting to interview
• 1:08:14
  artists for next summer and doing those things.
• 1:08:18
  And it it's just going to continue to pick up momentum.
• 1:08:21
  And as your star rises, it it happens a lot faster, I think, than most people realize.
• 1:08:28
  And that's why I'm still adamant about, like, just get started.
• 1:08:31
  Like, get moving, and you never know what's going to happen because the media landscape,
• 1:08:36
  especially right now, is still changing and evolving.
• 1:08:39
  And if you're willing to go put the work in, there's nothing really that can stop you.
• 1:08:44
  And I I was very fortunate to kind of, always have this attitude, in life that I'm not
• 1:08:51
  waiting for someone else to make me famous.
• 1:08:53
  I'm gonna go do it myself because I don't I I'm not out to be famous anyway.
• 1:08:58
  I just wanna know a lot of really cool people.
• 1:09:00
  And I guess if that makes me, you know, famous at the end of the day, famous among friends.
• 1:09:06
  Right?
• 1:09:06
  I think a beer has that slogan or something.
• 1:09:10
  It sounds like a good beer slogan.
• 1:09:11
  If it's not one yet, it will be after hearing that.
• 1:09:14
  I probably heard it somewhere.
• 1:09:16
  I've been around for a long time, Chase.
• 1:09:21
  No.
• 1:09:21
  You guys, this is this is a cool experience.
• 1:09:24
  I can't thank you enough for having me on tonight and just to getting to share a little
• 1:09:29
  bit of my story, and I just hope that others can continue to do that as well.
• 1:09:32
  I'm definitely gonna be sending some people your way.
• 1:09:36
  Send them all, man.
• 1:09:38
  Send them all, and they can be on everybody's show and to just continue growing this
• 1:09:43
  community.
• 1:09:44
  And speaking of the community, all of our fans watching, go to group.thesceneprojects.com.
• 1:09:51
  You make a profile over there with us, and it's our own little, you know, social media.
• 1:09:57
  Right?
• 1:09:58
  And that's where all of our shows we're gonna get a lot more active in there as it continues
• 1:10:02
  to fill up.
• 1:10:03
  There's about 40 people in there now.
• 1:10:05
  But we want our artists to come on into that group, and it allows us to actually have that
• 1:10:10
  one to one communication.
• 1:10:11
  Right?
• 1:10:11
  Because, like, I have 5,000 followers on Facebook, but when I put a post out, maybe,
• 1:10:16
  like, 500 see it.
• 1:10:19
  Right?
• 1:10:19
  And I'm not, working with a huge marketing budget to where I'm gonna pay to broadcast
• 1:10:24
  every post and give Facebook money to do that.
• 1:10:27
  So that's really how we, continue to grow and to continue to connect.
• 1:10:33
  Like, that's that's what it's really about.
• 1:10:36
  And, Chase, that's what you're doing tonight.
• 1:10:38
  You know, with us personally and then with the fans that are watching and are watching on the
• 1:10:43
  replays and everything, like, I think that's what as musicians that we we crave.
• 1:10:48
  And that's why especially guys like us that play live and that, like, that's our our
• 1:10:53
  essence, really.
• 1:10:55
  That that's what we're doing it for.
• 1:10:56
  We don't care how many people are in the room.
• 1:10:58
  We're trying to connect with you on that level.
• 1:11:01
  We're here now, and that's what we're here for.
• 1:11:03
  And and I think that speaks a lot to your, you know, your spirituality, your your your
• 1:11:09
  connection with god, and, you know, it it it comes through.
• 1:11:14
  And I think that's the world needs it right now, especially with what we've seen.
• 1:11:19
  You know, the the evil in this world is not slowing down.
• 1:11:23
  If anything, it's elevating.
• 1:11:24
  And that means that we need to shine even brighter as well and to to be more powerful and
• 1:11:30
  to be powerful in love.
• 1:11:32
  So really, just I've had a great time with you, Chase.
• 1:11:35
  Willie, are there any other songs that we're playing tonight?
• 1:11:39
  Or
• 1:11:40
  the best.
• 1:11:40
  Do everything.
• 1:11:41
  That's it.
• 1:11:42
  We do have devil's game recorded that he submitted as well, but he already played it.
• 1:11:49
  I mean I did.
• 1:11:50
  We can we can play that one too.
• 1:11:52
  I mean
• 1:11:53
  You know what?
• 1:11:54
  Let's let's close the show with that, Chase.
• 1:11:56
  I'd love to I'd love to listen to the studio version of that one and to to close it out with
• 1:12:02
  the recordings, which sound awesome, man.
• 1:12:04
  You're you're a fantastic musician.
• 1:12:07
  You're a great singer.
• 1:12:09
  Don't ever talk yourself out of it.
• 1:12:11
  Again, I I love that.
• 1:12:13
  You know, you let it hang, that rawness in your voice.
• 1:12:16
  It's it's what endears you to fans.
• 1:12:18
  It's what's endeared you to me here today.
• 1:12:21
  We, we're tired of auto tune.
• 1:12:23
  Right?
• 1:12:24
  We're tired of everything being polished and perfect, and, I think the world is craving the
• 1:12:29
  cracks in the voice and the strain because it's what, it's what makes you human.
• 1:12:35
  Right?
• 1:12:35
  And it it's what shows people, the emotion in that.
• 1:12:39
  And I think for you, especially, that raw emotion is is is part of who you are and
• 1:12:46
  especially over the course of this last, you know, this last year and what you have been
• 1:12:51
  through as a man and what your family have been through, that emotion makes you real.
• 1:12:57
  And it makes you, it makes you someone that people are gonna wanna spend a lot of time with
• 1:13:03
  and and your songs and coming to your shows.
• 1:13:06
  And I think your your arrow was pointed straight up, buddy, and we're so glad to be a
• 1:13:11
  part of it.
• 1:13:12
  No.
• 1:13:12
  Thank you, guys.
• 1:13:13
  That's that's what I struggled for since the very beginning.
• 1:13:16
  And so that to have you say that back to me unprompted is very reassuring that it's all
• 1:13:22
  going it's all going for God, and it's all going for the right reasons.
• 1:13:27
  Awesome.
• 1:13:28
  Yeah.
• 1:13:28
  I think just the rawness, I keep saying that, but even even in your recordings, you can hear
• 1:13:35
  the rawness you put in every song Mhmm.
• 1:13:37
  And the passion that drives you.
• 1:13:41
  You know?
• 1:13:41
  And that's one thing we talked about on my podcast is staying true to who you are.
• 1:13:46
  And, you know, the more you grow, that's the the more that pull is gonna pull towards
• 1:13:52
  people.
• 1:13:55
  You know, I said this there.
• 1:13:57
  Just continue to stay true to who you are.
• 1:13:58
  You have an amazing abilities.
• 1:14:02
  Thank you.
• 1:14:03
  No.
• 1:14:03
  I definitely will.
• 1:14:05
  Yeah.
• 1:14:06
  I mean, I feel a lot of, like, the raw emotion in what you say with your songs and, like, your
• 1:14:13
  words feel powerful almost, you know, with the way that you convey them and how you put them
• 1:14:19
  into your music.
• 1:14:23
  No.
• 1:14:23
  Yeah.
• 1:14:24
  And and just really does speak to how I wanted this to all start.
• 1:14:28
  It's and I'm still doing it, and I will, never strive away from that goal.
• 1:14:32
  I only hope it just keeps getting bigger so that I can promote that to more people.
• 1:14:38
  I'm happy to hear that, and I hope it all works out that way.
• 1:14:42
  Thanks.
• 1:14:42
  You deserve it.
• 1:14:44
  Thank you.
• 1:14:44
  Well, thank you guys for being so inspirational and for helping us out.
• 1:14:48
  And I'd love to keep doing this and keep getting into the other podcasts and sending
• 1:14:53
  some people your way and just, you know, loving God, loving people.
• 1:14:56
  That's the biggest thing.
• 1:14:58
  Awesome.
• 1:14:59
  Well, since we had heard this song before and we kinda talked about it on the show, Willie, I
• 1:15:04
  think what I'd like to do is I'll go ahead and play it, and I think we'll kinda just remove
• 1:15:10
  all of ourselves from the show.
• 1:15:11
  Chase, before we play the song, give everybody a chance to to go ahead and plug all your
• 1:15:17
  website and where people can find you out there to make sure that we follow.
• 1:15:21
  And we're gonna just close it with a song and then run our outro and get out of here if
• 1:15:26
  that's alright with everybody.
• 1:15:27
  Sure.
• 1:15:28
  Yeah.
• 1:15:28
  So I'm on everything.
• 1:15:30
  The easiest way to find that is just simply chasegrantmusic.com.
• 1:15:34
  It's a simple little website where you can go and find all those access to socials, Spotify,
• 1:15:39
  Apple, all the streaming platforms.
• 1:15:41
  You can see upcoming shows, things like that.
• 1:15:43
  You can buy merch on there now because I figured out how to do that and plug all that
• 1:15:48
  stuff in.
• 1:15:49
  So it's it's growing little by little.
• 1:15:51
  Chasegrantmusic.com is the best way to find that.
• 1:15:55
  Awesome, man.
• 1:15:57
  Well, thank you so much for being on the show tonight.
• 1:16:00
  Thank you for being part of the scene, and we're gonna keep following your career, man.
• 1:16:05
  And anytime you got new music, you're welcome to come back on all the shows and, update us.
• 1:16:11
  And as always, I mean, you're like a brother at this point, Chase, and I can't wait to catch up
• 1:16:18
  to you in person.
• 1:16:20
  I know we're gonna have Midwest CMO award shows, but I I hope I get to catch you before
• 1:16:25
  that.
• 1:16:26
  Maybe I'll look you up.
• 1:16:27
  I I got plans to come up to the Minnesota at some point in November.
• 1:16:31
  So, hopefully, I can come and catch a Chase Grant show.
• 1:16:35
  That sounds great.
• 1:16:35
  I'd love to.
• 1:16:36
  I can't wait to meet you, buddy, and connect with you more on an even deeper level.
• 1:16:41
  I mean
• 1:16:45
  Thank you, Renee.
• 1:16:46
  I appreciate you.
• 1:16:47
  It was nice.
• 1:16:47
  Thank you for being so active in the chat and hanging out with us.
• 1:16:51
  Yep.
• 1:16:51
  AJ got in there one more time too.
• 1:16:54
  So Thank
• 1:16:54
  you, AJ.
• 1:16:58
  Yeah.
• 1:16:59
  I mean, I hope I get to see you live one day and meet you, Chase.
• 1:17:03
  You're doing great things here, and everything you've done is, like from what I've heard and
• 1:17:09
  especially with the stuff that I got to hear for the first time tonight, you are definitely
• 1:17:13
  going places.
• 1:17:16
  Thank you.
• 1:17:17
  I I I'm feeling that, but I'm trying to stay humble with it and just always just point it
• 1:17:22
  back to god.
• 1:17:22
  And I think that if I do that, I can't lose no matter how big or small it stays or becomes.
• 1:17:29
  Just getting to kinda live out my dream.
• 1:17:31
  So anybody that thinks that they can't do that is dead wrong.
• 1:17:34
  They can definitely chase whatever they wanna go after.
• 1:17:38
  That was still
• 1:17:39
  that problem.
• 1:17:39
  Absolutely right.
• 1:17:41
  Yeah.
• 1:17:42
  It seems so cliche, but it's so real.
• 1:17:44
  Like, I I wish I would have believed it sooner, to be honest.
• 1:17:47
  But now it's got a timing, and right now is that time.
• 1:17:50
  It wasn't it wasn't two years ago.
• 1:17:51
  It's now.

  plane, striking up before I could swing.

  The devil plays his games around me, Was trying to find myself again, the songs that The devil
• 1:22:41
  plays his games around me, but he can't have my life anymore.
• 1:22:49
  Because I've gone around for around trying to do this on my own.
• 1:22:55
  Say I'm fine, but I'm living a lie.
• 1:23:11
  Just trying to find myself again.
• 1:23:15
  The songs that are right.
