  SPEAKER_00: Congrats.
• 1:08
  SPEAKER_00: And then 25 years uh since uh music for the morning after.
• 1:13
  SPEAKER_00: What's it like to look back and kind of think and and and I do a lot of these interviews speaking about a 25-year anniversary?
• 1:19
  SPEAKER_00: Can you can you believe it?
• 1:20
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, uh, you know, it's surreal, but it's great milestone, and uh it's cool.
• 1:25
  SPEAKER_01: I've been on tour all year, kind of doing this music for the morning after 25 anniversary tour.
• 1:31
  SPEAKER_01: And uh it's great just seeing everyone, seeing how like you know, people connected over the years to that record and all those songs, and I I play, you know, I play the whole record pretty much every show, and then a bunch of other stuff.
• 1:44
  SPEAKER_01: But the coolest thing is I think it's like you know, when you put a record out, it's like you know, you do it, you make it for yourself.
• 1:49
  SPEAKER_01: I'm very selfish artist, but I totally made it for myself, and then I you know, I didn't know who would like it.
• 1:54
  SPEAKER_01: And then you see all these years later, it's like families showing up, like people who had babies when that record came out, and driving around, falling asleep in the car to like just another girl or whatever, and now they're front row with these grown, you know, 20-something year olds, and they're all together and it's meaningful to them and it's meaningful to me.
• 2:11
  SPEAKER_01: And it's cool to see.
• 2:12
  SPEAKER_00: So well, congratulations, 25 years since the record, and like I said, you said it has uh such an impact on people and over the years, and people are still discovering it too, which is a very cool, like a new generation.
• 2:22
  SPEAKER_00: Um, what's it like as far as putting these records together now?
• 2:25
  SPEAKER_00: You've got the new one coming out in a few weeks.
• 2:28
  SPEAKER_00: Uh what's the difference, the main difference between twenty-five years ago when you first obviously just starting, but now you've got such freedom to do what what you want, so to speak.
• 2:37
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, I mean I was very free back then.
• 2:39
  SPEAKER_01: I I pretty much stopped listening to anything and just made the record of music that I love.
• 2:44
  SPEAKER_01: And I remember thinking very clearly, like, I don't know who else is gonna like this, but I really like this music, and that's that, you know, and I hope it'll last.
• 2:50
  SPEAKER_01: I hope it'll hold up in ten years, or at least I'll be proud of it and not cringe, you know, when I hear it.
• 2:55
  SPEAKER_01: And um now I approach the same way.
• 2:57
  SPEAKER_01: Every record I made, I pretty much approach the same way, and I still make them at home studios, which I love to do.
• 3:02
  SPEAKER_01: I like working at home, I don't like big studios.
• 3:04
  SPEAKER_01: This new one coming out, um, it's called All the Beauty, comes out on the 24th of July, and it's my third one with my boy Jackson Phillips, who people know as Daywave.
• 3:13
  SPEAKER_01: We made Caretakers together, and then we made Hawaii together, and uh, and now this is our third, so it's kind of like the second trilogy in my catalog.
• 3:22
  SPEAKER_01: The first trilogy was Music for the Morning After Day, I forgot, and Nightcrawler, and now this is this caps off the the second trilogy.
• 3:29
  SPEAKER_01: How did you meet Jackson?
• 3:30
  SPEAKER_01: We met at a birthday party for my friend Ian Montone, great guy out in Malibu, California.
• 3:36
  SPEAKER_01: And uh it was very late at night at that point.
• 3:38
  SPEAKER_01: I remember it was probably 2017, 18 uh in the autumn.
• 3:43
  SPEAKER_01: And uh it's a little blurry.
• 3:45
  SPEAKER_01: I was still drinking a bunch back then, I think we were having fun, and we started talking, and he said he had a studio, and then maybe like five months later I ended up taking him up on his offer to go see him in a studio, and we hit it off right away.
• 3:56
  SPEAKER_00: What makes him such a natural fit for your sound and and your process?
• 3:59
  SPEAKER_00: Because it seems like you guys are have worked really well together over the past few records.
• 4:03
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, our personalities fit very nicely.
• 4:06
  SPEAKER_01: Um he's so talented.
• 4:07
  SPEAKER_01: Like he I love working with like another great musician engineer, and he's just an amazing musician.
• 4:12
  SPEAKER_01: He comes up with parts I think that complement things that I can't do well, and I do things that maybe he doesn't do the way I do them.
• 4:20
  SPEAKER_01: So we balance each other out that way.
• 4:21
  SPEAKER_01: I also think he's like a generation younger than me, and he grew up, you know, listening to things that I love.
• 4:28
  SPEAKER_01: And in some ways I remember he reminded me of things that maybe like I would do, that maybe I got a little like cynical on or jaded on, like, I want to move past.
• 4:37
  SPEAKER_01: And he was like, Oh, dude, I don't know about that so rad.
• 4:39
  SPEAKER_01: And he kind of got me excited about some things that maybe are part of my essence that I forgot about, and we brought that back into the music in a way uh that felt fresh.
• 4:49
  SPEAKER_01: And I don't know, maybe that's part of it.
• 4:50
  SPEAKER_00: Oh, that's great.
• 4:51
  SPEAKER_00: The album's out on the 24th, All the Beauty, and uh love the video for the song.
• 4:55
  SPEAKER_00: Uh whose idea was to to do it with with all the dogs?
• 4:59
  SPEAKER_01: It was my friend Ian, uh who I know through my wife.
• 5:02
  SPEAKER_01: I met I met him through my wife, and he had he heard the song and he responded to it right away, and he sent me just a quick clip of this one dog following this one little dog all around town with these floppy ears.
• 5:13
  SPEAKER_01: And I loved the idea of it, but it was making me dizzy.
• 5:16
  SPEAKER_01: I was like, what about what if we put like a bunch of dogs or something like that?
• 5:19
  SPEAKER_01: Uh his name's Ian Kennedy, and uh he goes by brain drain industries actually, but he makes videos.
• 5:25
  SPEAKER_01: But um he uh he it was his idea, and then I was like, in hindsight, I'm like, it's perfect because I love my dog so much.
• 5:31
  SPEAKER_01: I'm always talking about my dog, and I know how the dog, my dog, or in the dog in general, just represents presence and being in the moment and not like you know thinking about anything other than the moment that they're in, and the song kind of has that sort of uh sentiment in it.
• 5:46
  SPEAKER_01: So uh I think it was a perfect sort of blend there.
• 5:49
  SPEAKER_00: Well, why don't we do all the beauty?
• 5:51
  SPEAKER_00: Okay, I'm curious, what's the uh kind of the origin story for this song?
• 5:54
  SPEAKER_00: When did you write it and and what what inspired you?
• 5:57
  SPEAKER_01: Gosh.
• 5:59
  SPEAKER_01: Um I think in general, you know, I don't know when I go into it, I'm kinda always doing like the autopsy after, like, what the heck does this mean?
• 6:05
  SPEAKER_01: You know, whatever.
• 6:06
  SPEAKER_01: And I'm oftentimes I'm like that.
• 6:09
  SPEAKER_01: Um but to me, the song very obviously in the chorus is just talking about being present, being in the moment, and not just being there, but knowing that how special it is and having the discipline to appreciate it.
• 6:22
  SPEAKER_01: Like even this, like I'm thinking about something else, or I'm like, you know, just not like I just gotta keep pulling myself back into it.
• 6:28
  SPEAKER_01: And I find that a lot of people are are d dealing with that or they forget to, and so the whole thing is just a reminder, like I don't wanna, you know, I don't wanna like just think about the the glory days or the good old days.
• 6:41
  SPEAKER_01: I mean and like it's nice to appreciate all that and know where you came from and and if it's if it's a good feeling, great, but a lot of people get stuck in that, and this song is kind of like snap you out of that.
• 6:50
  SPEAKER_01: It's like don't get stuck in that place because right now is everything.
• 6:54
  SPEAKER_00: So that's it.
• 6:55
  SPEAKER_00: The new record out on the twenty fourth, Pete Yorn live here in the EHM studios.
• 6:59
  SPEAKER_00: Uh let's do the uh the title song.
• 7:00
  SPEAKER_00: It's all the beauty live here at EHM.
• 7:11
  SPEAKER_02: I was a fool around.
• 7:17
  SPEAKER_02: Just want to feel again.
• 7:24
  SPEAKER_02: I walked along the dark road.
• 7:30
  SPEAKER_02: I must have been forgiven.
• 7:36
  SPEAKER_02: Chasing us, chasing the goals, chasing us.
• 7:50
  SPEAKER_02: I don't talk about what we used to do how things look better in the old days.
• 8:02
  SPEAKER_02: I just want to have my map be with you in the mess of beauty of the play.
• 11:06
  SPEAKER_00: My pleasure.
• 11:07
  SPEAKER_00: Congrats on this new record.
• 11:08
  SPEAKER_00: And uh really, um, how do you feel as far as you know, we we talked a little bit about the 25th anniversary.
• 11:14
  SPEAKER_00: Um, how has how have you changed since that record?
• 11:17
  SPEAKER_00: Because it it's interesting.
• 11:18
  SPEAKER_00: I I love the fact that you I've heard interviews where you talk about now you'd keep everything the same in a way.
• 11:24
  SPEAKER_00: You you didn't you wouldn't change much with it.
• 11:26
  SPEAKER_00: And how do how do you feel now and 25 years later looking back, what's different as as a songwriter?
• 11:32
  SPEAKER_01: I mean, so much has changed.
• 11:33
  SPEAKER_01: It's tempting to go back.
• 11:34
  SPEAKER_01: You you but like these songs sometimes are like diary entries or time capsules and they pull you right back to a moment.
• 11:40
  SPEAKER_01: You play a song from 25 years ago that you wrote even longer ago than that, and it could pull you right back to that place.
• 11:46
  SPEAKER_01: And you could there's a trick.
• 11:48
  SPEAKER_01: You could think nothing's changed, you know, and then you remember, oh wait, man, I got a 10-year-old daughter, I got married, I did all these other things in my life.
• 11:56
  SPEAKER_01: Um that I'm not that same person that I was when I wrote the song, and so much has changed.
• 12:02
  SPEAKER_01: Um, but a lot is the same as well, you know.
• 12:04
  SPEAKER_01: I like to think I keep it real, but um a lot has changed, and I I it it's impossible for all those experiences I've had not to go into the way I write and and what I'm interested in.
• 12:16
  SPEAKER_01: And so there's always those, you know, mysteries of life that still interest me, and I I think that go into all the songs, but they're just through a different lens of you know, a little bit being a little bit older, a little bit grayer, a bit furrier beard now, you know, and it's all good.
• 12:32
  SPEAKER_01: I celebrate all that stuff, so it's great.
• 12:34
  SPEAKER_00: I love the stories that you tell about uh how you really started in music just playing the drums for your brothers.
• 12:39
  SPEAKER_00: Do your brothers still play music?
• 12:40
  SPEAKER_00: Do you guys still get a chance to kind of jam together or they don't.
• 12:43
  SPEAKER_01: My brother my middle brother is the one who told me to play drums and his his his house look got messed up in that fires uh last year around the Palisades, and that was I think there's a lot of that in this record.
• 12:57
  SPEAKER_01: I think moving on from that, seeing that firsthand, you know, just being stuck in that sort of yuckiness.
• 13:04
  SPEAKER_01: Um but I think that you know, he he loves music and I know he's he's he wants to get a new drum set, but he's been slow about getting it, so he's gotta do it.
• 13:16
  SPEAKER_00: That's that's interesting.
• 13:17
  SPEAKER_00: I know you you started off not really thinking that music would be your career.
• 13:21
  SPEAKER_00: Um and we both went to Syracuse, which I always find interesting.
• 13:24
  SPEAKER_00: We were like I think we laughed by like a year in the mid-90s, and when you went you were gonna be a tax attorney, right?
• 13:30
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, my dad wanted he thought it would be a you know, safe career choice for me to be a tax lawyer, a tax attorney, and I don't blame him, but he'd underestimated my math abilities.
• 13:39
  SPEAKER_01: And freshman year I was an accounting major, and right away it became evident.
• 13:43
  SPEAKER_01: I was like, I can't do this stuff.
• 13:44
  SPEAKER_01: There was a course called Matrices, Matrixes, and I I had to take a summer class for that over at like William Patterson or something in Jersey.
• 13:52
  SPEAKER_01: And I went, I signed up, and I sh I waited this long line to get the book, and I showed up at the class, and I'm literally in there for ten minutes, and I hear the professor talking about everything, and the syllabus is handed out, and I excuse myself to go to the bathroom, and I just jumped in the car and left, and I never went back.
• 14:09
  SPEAKER_01: And then like that later that night, or a couple days later, I told my dad, I go, This isn't gonna happen.
• 14:14
  SPEAKER_01: And I was very scared to do that, but he was supportive, he was like, he was my dad was like six foot five, like ex-army guy, and he was just like okay, I understand.
• 14:23
  SPEAKER_00: And you still went back to Syracuse.
• 14:25
  SPEAKER_01: I went back to Syracuse and I switched.
• 14:26
  SPEAKER_01: I was gonna I thought maybe I'd become a lawyer.
• 14:28
  SPEAKER_01: I remember liking uh to kill a mockingbird and uh Atticus Finch, and I thought maybe I'd be a litigator, a guy in a courtroom, you know, in a suit trying to win our you know, arguments and stuff like that.
• 14:39
  SPEAKER_01: And so I was started, I was a uh pre-law uh political science, and then I switched from that to speech communications maybe like halfway through.
• 14:49
  SPEAKER_01: And during all that time I was writing something more and more.
• 14:52
  SPEAKER_00: I was curious, what was the music scene like there at the time?
• 14:56
  SPEAKER_01: It was um it was me playing in my room, you know, smoking a lot.
• 15:02
  SPEAKER_01: More personal than going out and performing.
• 15:04
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, I think the the thing that I finally like I would play around like in my room and people would walk by my dorm room and hear me and pop in and they'd be like, yo, what's that?
• 15:12
  SPEAKER_01: What's going on?
• 15:13
  SPEAKER_01: And we'd hang out and whatever.
• 15:14
  SPEAKER_01: And then I remember a big moment was this some girl needed to sponsor someone for a talent show charity event or something like that, and she had known I played a little bit and she asked me if I would do a song, and I said, Oh yeah, sure, whatever.
• 15:28
  SPEAKER_01: And I remember I just went and played a song uh that I had written and I won the whole thing.
• 15:33
  SPEAKER_01: Everyone like it was like a big moment, and that gave me kind of the confidence to like write more songs and but I still didn't even think, you know, I think by the end of junior year I was like, Alright, I'm gonna finish school because it's important to my my parents and all that, and they're paying a bunch of lot of money for me to go here and I don't want to let them down.
• 15:51
  SPEAKER_01: But at the same time I was I was writing so many songs, I was like, I want to try to you know to do music and I could always go to law school, I guess, if that's what I really want to do, but I I I don't wanna I I I didn't see it the reverse way.
• 16:03
  SPEAKER_01: I didn't see like go to law school, become a lawyer, and then oh, what if I want to play music?
• 16:07
  SPEAKER_01: No, that wasn't gonna work.
• 16:08
  SPEAKER_01: So I did that way.
• 16:10
  SPEAKER_01: How long did you uh wait till head out to LA, right after college or I graduated in um late April, I believe, of ninety-six, and it snowed up there.
• 16:21
  SPEAKER_01: My family came up and it was snowing.
• 16:22
  SPEAKER_01: They're like, what the heck is this?
• 16:23
  SPEAKER_01: And I'm like, welcome to Syracuse.
• 16:25
  SPEAKER_00: You were so you were you were the year that it did.
• 16:27
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, wow.
• 16:27
  SPEAKER_00: Because the everyone talks about the year that it snowed on it was Mother's Day for graduation.
• 16:32
  SPEAKER_00: And uh So it was May.
• 16:33
  SPEAKER_00: Yes, it was early May.
• 16:34
  SPEAKER_00: And it's insane, and everyone references that.
• 16:35
  SPEAKER_00: I don't know if it's done it since, but uh but you were the class.
• 16:38
  SPEAKER_00: That's a great way to get out to Los Angeles and some nicer weather.
• 16:42
  SPEAKER_00: How long did it take between graduating and kind of getting the the record deal, knowing that?
• 16:46
  SPEAKER_01: I know that I moved out May 16th of 1996 because it was my friend Billy DeStefano's birthday, who was my next door neighbor in Jersey.
• 16:53
  SPEAKER_01: I just remember that.
• 16:53
  SPEAKER_01: It's funny how yeah, you remember those things.
• 16:55
  SPEAKER_01: And so I moved out within like two weeks after I graduated, very fast.
• 16:58
  SPEAKER_01: I don't know when the dates were, but that's my recollection of it.
• 17:01
  SPEAKER_01: And uh and then I remember, you know, thinking I'd get a rec I was like, I'm great, I'm gonna get a record deal right away.
• 17:06
  SPEAKER_01: I had no idea how the music business works.
• 17:08
  SPEAKER_01: Of course, I didn't get a record deal right away, and nothing's happening, and I'm trying to figure it out.
• 17:12
  SPEAKER_01: But um in my mind, I'm like, well, if I went to law school, I'd be three years in law school, and so I was like, all right, give yourself three years to try and make this happen.
• 17:21
  SPEAKER_01: This is your like music grad school, and I start writing better, better songs to learn how to record my room at the four track and having experiences just meeting people around LA and and and all that stuff.
• 17:31
  SPEAKER_01: And uh eventually we got there, and it was about three years.
• 17:35
  SPEAKER_01: I think I got signed on my birthday July of 1999.
• 17:40
  SPEAKER_01: And uh and um it was a big deal, the Columbia Records.
• 17:44
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, I remember.
• 17:45
  SPEAKER_00: That's that's so cool.
• 17:46
  SPEAKER_00: Wow, it's it's it's amazing how it does take some time and uh you you what was it like to um to get out um you put out the record and what's it like at the time to have all that because you worked on those songs for a while, I'd imagine.
• 17:59
  SPEAKER_00: Those were some of the songs that you probably started writing back in college.
• 18:02
  SPEAKER_00: Um and those years after, how long did it take to um I guess do the next record and kind of start thinking about where you wanted to go as an artist and kind of define yourself?
• 18:12
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 18:12
  SPEAKER_01: Did you know right away?
• 18:14
  SPEAKER_01: All a lot of the songs I had written in college that I was working on, all of a sudden at some point in like 1998, late 98, I hit a groove where everything changed after I met Walt Benson, who ended up co-producing Music Farmway after with me.
• 18:27
  SPEAKER_01: But like everything except one song was new, it just came out of nowhere.
• 18:31
  SPEAKER_01: Like I just hit a whole nother thing.
• 18:34
  SPEAKER_01: And so those songs are 99% were were new for that m for that era for me.
• 18:41
  SPEAKER_01: Um and all those old songs kind of some ended up turning out on later records, you know, like on Day I Forgot like Long Way Down was one of those older songs.
• 18:50
  SPEAKER_01: I know Turn of the Century was an older song, it's on I think it's on Day I Forgot too.
• 18:55
  SPEAKER_01: Um but uh yeah, I toured like 18 months straight on the first record and really went out there and worked hard and you know, I was young and didn't have anything else to do.
• 19:05
  SPEAKER_01: I'm like, let's do it, and people wanted to hear it, so it was really fun.
• 19:08
  SPEAKER_01: And then at some point it was like, Well, I got all these other songs.
• 19:12
  SPEAKER_01: I was excited to make the second record to make Day I Forgot, and I had a lot of songs that I liked, and I just like kept the team together and we made that.
• 19:18
  SPEAKER_01: But I think that came out in 2003 and I finished music for the morning after.
• 19:23
  SPEAKER_01: It didn't come out until March 27, 2001, but it was done.
• 19:26
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
• 19:26
  SPEAKER_01: It was done in like late 99 or no, it was done in early 2000, so it was about a year and change before it came out.
• 19:33
  SPEAKER_01: So I was itching to get record new stuff, you know?
• 19:36
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
• 19:36
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 19:37
  SPEAKER_00: No, that's interesting.
• 19:38
