_ _ _ _ [G] _ _ _ _
[D] _ _ _ _ I [N] was listening to a podcast called reply [Bbm] all and I _
Talked to you about it, and then we started writing it you remember remind me [F] of the
reply [Gb] all episode
It was [E] big with my all fans.
We are indeed.
They were talking about the crazy [Eb] like
_ When Roseanne was tweeting all those like conspiracy theory [Bb] things and how they think like there's a whole [Ab] conspiracy around
_ _ [Gm] Trump
Playing four-dimensional chess and like actually just [N] fronting like he's really stupid, but actually he's like a maniacal
Super genius, which is like my favorite theory like there are right-wing people who support him who literally think that his
Idiocy is like a crazy plan
_ that he has always had to like play dumb and then be doing all these like
Genius things behind the scenes and we were talking about it and
_ _ [G]
Wrote it
_ _ _ [D] _ _ _ _
[A] _ _ _ [G] That was the last
Last song we wrote for the album, and I feel like it happened kind of we wrote it kind of fast pretty fast for
Our standards yeah, yeah like in a night.
I also like Dylan Thomas [Eb] the poet a lot
[Gb] _ _ I'll just say that and I was also I was [N] curious to where
Connor got that idea for the Dylan Thomas lyric and then I was walking on the studio
And there's a Dylan Thomas book like sitting on the counter.
It's like, ah
Cool.
[G] Yeah
_ [D] _
_ _ _ _ [A] _ _ Nick and I are real old friends.
He's
_ 274 this year
_ [E] _ so I haven't been around that long but
[Ab] _
Yeah, _ [Gb] we've been friends since the early odds then haven't we there 18
hundreds, yeah since the early 1800s, he's amazing [Eb] and
Yeah, when we were making the record
_ _ [F] Okay, I guess kind of by happenstance I had he had he's also been living [Eb] in LA on and off and
kind of talking to him about just getting together to hang out and _
_ We're making I think it was actually
Domino's last song on the record.
Well, one of the songs I was like, [F] oh, I mean I could kind of hear him [E] playing on
it and I was like
Phoebe [Eb] what do you think and she's like [Gb] that sounds cool and called him up and he was over there like
The next [Fm] day or something [G] and even when writing the song
Dylan Thomas I was listening to like my voice memos earlier and there's a place where you're like in a guitar solo
_ _ [D] _ _
_ _ _ [G] _ _ _ So my friend Michelle who's in Japanese breakfast directed
She will she wrote the treatment and directed it and I love her music videos.
So we yeah, she was amazing
to it was like a
pretty crazy like two-day shoot [E] like a lot of people and a lot of [Eb] moving parts and I
_ [Gb] [F] Didn't really know.
I mean I'd read the [E] treatment but it's like one of those things when you read those [G] things.
It's hard to _
Picture for [E] me like how they're gonna turn out but yeah, Michelle did an amazing job
[F] My like first grade music teacher is screaming upside down in it, too
[Eb] We shot in in LA so it's a lot of my friends and then our friend Meg Duffy whose hand habits she's in it as well
_ Yeah, tons of friends.
Yeah, it's basically like we stumble upon [Gb] a
House or we know we get a brochure in the mail
TV and I and then we go to the house
Hi, Jinx and Sue, [Abm] you know Butler answers the [E] door and _ _ _
[G] Yeah, [Abm] I want I don't want to give it [G] away
