Chords for PHOEBE HUNT & THE GATHERERS 'SHANITI'S SHADOW' Interview on The Texas Music Scene

_ [G] Hey everybody, my name is Phoebe Hunt and this is [Em] the Texas music [D] scene with my little buddy [C] Ray Benson
_ [D] Howdy folks, you know
We [G] really dig albums that successfully mix [C] all sorts of genres and [G] music styles to showcase [C] a band or solo musicians [G] unique sound
[C] Well Phoebe Hunt [G] and the Gatherers 2017 album Shanti Shadow
Delivers on that front [A] even the inspiration behind the album began [G] in India of all [A] places
Here's Phoebe with her story.
I ain't gonna be no farmer's wife.
I'm moving to the city
_ Be a [Am] land head gal.
I'm gonna change my world
_ _ [A] I'm picking up.
I'm putting down.
I'm fact
Educated I tried to be civilized, but I can [D] change my world.
_ _ [Am] I love the studio
I love being in the studio so much.
It's my happy place
I mean when you get to be
Creating soundscapes and tweaking especially when you're really comfortable and there's no real time limit
So [A] Dom and I live in Brooklyn, New York, and we live in bed sty [Am] on Kosciuszko and Lewis Ave
My really dear friend Evan
_ [A] _
Lives around the corner on the same exact block and
I didn't know that until right before we were recording this album and [A] he we ran into each other [C] actually at a shaky graves concert
[D] in New York and
I was like you're still living [A] in New York.
Just like yeah, you're still living here
Where do you live you know exchange addresses?
And it was like we live on the same block and he was like I [C] just got a new
[A] Console it's an Eve console that was from the magic box and you were Jones is recorded on this console and all this and I
You should come and check it out
And I was like okay
And I'll just walk around [D] the corner from my house and I checked out his studio which was [Gm] this is this apartment in New York
That's Magnolia [Gm] Motel where that video for take me home was shot
_ _ [Bb] _ _ _ [Ab] _ _
[Eb] _ _ _ [Ab] _ _ _ [Eb] _ _
[Bb] Take me home and
His [Gm] apartment that he's turned into a music studio used to just have 14 Tibetan monks chanting in it all day the space feels amazing
Then he's got this epic console.
It's so close to my house.
[Bb] I was like we're recording [Ebm] this album here
It's so easy, you know in the [Ab] time limit it just changed everything _ _
_ _ [F] _ _ [Ebm] _ _ _ [Gb] _
_ [Ab] _ _ [Ebm] Some _ [F] _ [Bb] _
_ [Ab] _ _ _ _ [Fm] _ _ [Ab] _
_ _ _ [Ebm] people say that the violin is the instrument that [Ab] sounds most like the human voice and
_ _ [Gb] [C] I like to embrace that philosophy and I [G] feel like
Because I've been playing violin since I was six years old
I've somehow gotten to the place where my violin can be kind of just an [F] extension of my voice and
Vice versa to sometimes I'll sing a line that you might hear a [Dm] violin play, [C] but I'll just sing it instead
So I feel like the two can kind of become to be interchangeable [B] and I've been working [G] really hard on
Having the violin be an instrument that can be a support for my voice
[C] George and I _ _ _ _ _ _ _ [F] have never loved _
[C] you before
Everyone in New York is really hungry to just do really cool things
Like if you're in New York, you're serious about your art.
You're [G] working really hard on it
You know, everyone has to hustle just to be able to live, you know
I'll be able to make enough money to pay their rent and do everything
[F] so whenever a cool [Bb] project comes up everyone just like [C] jumps on it and wants to make it really good and wants to like put
Their heart [F] into it and wants to be a part of something that they believe [Dm] in because like why else are we living in?
[Bm] New York
Even though I'm from [Gb] Austin, Texas, and I love [Gbm] Austin.
It's always gonna be my home
It's been really [Em] cool being part of this New York scene [D] for the past couple years and [Bm] diving into these
[Em] people where everywhere you turn there's just like [D] an
artist working really [G] hard on their art
[Em] Holding the crimson, [D] holding [Bm] the pierce
[Gbm] Witnessing the frolic of the land
[G] Frolic of the bees is one [Em] of my favorite tracks on the album [D] because I feel like it's an [Bm] invocation
It's calling [G] everyone.
I'm saying I want to party with you
[D] No matter who you are.
No matter [G] what you [Em] believe in no matter [D] what your background no matter what your history
You're welcome here
[Gbm] And I feel like that's what we want our shows to be like [Bm] we just want to have a place where everyone feels welcome
Anyone can [Am] come and I feel like music has a [G] power
like nothing else on the [Am] planet to just
affect the [Bm] soul and to move the soul and to move the spirit and to bring us all into [Am] like the highest elevation [Bb] that we
Can be into the highest form of ourselves that we [Eb] can be
