_ _ _ _ [Bb] _ _ With the new album
_ _ _ _ _ [B] _
We're gonna talk really fast
_ the new album is
Is the people have been like, you know, just waiting with bated breath for this thing
The the title is really cool
I'm not gonna be like the question of like what's the significance of the title, but what's the significance of the time?
No _ _ _
Really cool.
It's a really cool
Disseminated from a poem.
Yeah anthem of the peaceful army [Abm] was a poem that and it was sort of like we were I can't remember
Where the hell we were but it was I was just in bed
It was like in this place between sleep and you know being awake
And you're just kind of going over things in your mind and I don't know what it was must been some kind of philosophical
mood or something, you know and
That something came it was kind of like putting it together and I jumped out of bed and had to write it down
That was the poem, you know
It's anthem of the peaceful army and it wasn't until we started recording and trying to get this album together that
it made more sense to me that that was kind of [G] you know that that poem kind of
_ [Ab] you know was _
Telling the story of this the irrit it embodied the purpose of the meaning of the album for it to a good extent
You know and so that it would be a perfect thing it grew in its importance
In the significance and we could start seeing people
You know in larger groups coming to see us and I think we started to identify with it as like a sort of a peaceful
Army, it was like everybody's there's this thing of unification and everybody's sharing one experience and all coming together for one thing and music
It's music.
Yeah, we're part of that too.
That's cool because
[Eb] _
The people at your shows like range from really young to you got gray hairs.
Yeah, you know
_ And that when I read the title I was like, that's really cool because it's like people coming together to just experience the music
Mm-hmm do something positive.
Yeah
The songs on the album
Did you guys what was the process like for for writing?
Did you guys have some songs?
Did you sit down like we're going to write an album [Gb] now?
We had an initial like I think it was six
Originally, we had a bunch of songs that we had had for a couple years
And that was the initial push on the album was we were gonna go in and at least have those
Recorded and while we were recording those six more came about and then you know, just just we decided to go back in
We made more time and then it really just kind of came together pretty quickly
There's a mix of things.
I think it was really we were all really quite quite shocked how fast it all came together
Yeah, you know it's like because we thought we're gonna use all the old songs that we wrote in the past like which I'm highly
Against the thing that was important about [G] writing being in a one place
Moment because I think what what happens there, you know, cuz I never gonna write the same song
Twice any art is so relative to a specific moment in an artist's life and yeah
So yeah, it was important to kind of bookmark where we are
Well, I guess suppose where we were in February when we recorded right?
We're already on the second album.
So I
Yeah, does it feel like does it feel like this is all going really really fast not fast enough.
Really?
Yeah
I mean, you know I'm
Slow _ enough to not kill us.
Yeah, we're at that
It's it's it's a razor thin [Eb] borderline
We really did I think it took us a while to figure out where was too much too fast and too much in what was too
Little, you know, and it's finally I think coming together
It's like we're getting away with as much as we can possibly do because you know, we love it, you know, we're only humans man
_ Stop asking this
_ _ What's have you did you have I'd be had like an an aha moment along the way where [F] it kind of like hit you a
Lot. Yeah _ _
_ _ _ It's like that it's that great puzzle, you know, that's life [Bb] it's beautifully [E] stimulating.
Yeah.
Yeah, that's a good way to put it.
Yeah
_ _ _ So what's after this album and I mean you're constantly touring like where do you get? _
Did you set out with a goal I guess is my like I know that the music comes out of you kind of organically
And naturally, but did you you guys sit and say as a band we want to do this?
I think I think yeah, I think regarding are you talking about the album or just in general?
We have goals in a band except for they just never happen the way like, you know, we rewrite them out
I mean, yeah, we have goals because that's how you keep your your focus and you move forward
But that you things you can't control how things turn out
I think as an entity and as a single unit that we all kind of share a lot of the same goals and I think
that's important to
To being on the same page and staying together and I think that if you have that common goal
Then you're all fighting for you know to achieve that _
[B] _ [E] Important thing you'd be surprised though.
How many people don't stop and think about those goals.
[C] I don't have any
_ But I'm here sitting talking to you guys.
So [D] that's
Your [F] room it's important your rule is you know, I mean life's what happens I busy making plans.
Yeah wise man would said
_ [E] Speaking of wise men.
There's been some great reception from some of the the
Elder statesmen of rock and roll what when that kind of thing happens, whether it's Robert plants or Elton [Db] John
Having you guys come play there.
He is back there _ _
_ _ How's that like how did I feel
_ Special
Humbling, I don't know.
It's kind of like you feel that you mark me belong in this
this world, you know that you that you kind [A] of
Have been accepted into [E] this this very private club of rock and roll, you know
You know because when you're coming up and I mean you feel like very small nothing, you know
And that's part of just sort of doing it
you know and you would go play clubs or bars or even like we did some biker gigs and
Yeah, just stuff like that.
You kind of feel so small, but you're just making it, you know
[Bb] You're doing it and you sort of [F] like trying to be somebody, you know, be fine
You you what you're doing, you know, and yeah and [B] make that evident or or have this creative identity
And you know eventually doing it so so long and proceeded you kind of eventually it's like, okay
Well now that there's something like that has happened you feel that you belong
It kind of seems like rites of passage, you know in a sense to like the you know
The ones the torchbearers, you know the guys who are like handing it down and if it's you know
You no one else [E] has to give us permission to do anything other than ourselves
but when someone like Elton John [G] says something to a rubber plant and has accolades and
It gives you even more permission to go ahead and move forward [E] and break these rules
Yeah and play rock and roll music, right? _ _ _
Listen man is a big fan what you guys are doing.
Thank you so much for coming in and spending.
Thanks for
_ _ appreciating _ _ _
