What is it? 3 00:00:12.679 --> 00:00:18.480 December thirty, thirteenth, fourteenth, twenty twenty five. Craziness. This is 4 00:00:18.519 --> 00:00:21.079 gonna be like a jam packed episode, I believe, because 5 00:00:21.079 --> 00:00:21.960 there's a lot of news. 6 00:00:22.199 --> 00:00:24.079 I will try not to make this too long, guys, because, 7 00:00:24.079 --> 00:00:24.519 for one. 8 00:00:24.359 --> 00:00:27.359 Thing, we did skip doing the podcast last month. Yeah, 9 00:00:27.399 --> 00:00:31.280 November was a little different. Yeah, we didn't. We didn't 10 00:00:31.280 --> 00:00:34.719 put out a new love Spiral song last month. We 11 00:00:34.799 --> 00:00:38.079 just ended up putting I ended up putting up a 12 00:00:38.200 --> 00:00:41.759 nineteen ninety nine recording of Ryan and Suzanne doing a 13 00:00:41.880 --> 00:00:42.759 little drummer boy. 14 00:00:43.119 --> 00:00:45.840 Yeah, never got a proper digital release. 15 00:00:46.200 --> 00:00:46.799 It never did. 16 00:00:47.000 --> 00:00:47.240 Yeah. 17 00:00:47.320 --> 00:00:49.600 Strangely, Yeah, now that we're working with this new service, 18 00:00:49.640 --> 00:00:51.079 I thought I would, you know, try to get out 19 00:00:51.119 --> 00:00:54.280 with those guys. But unfortunately my rollout was borked because 20 00:00:54.880 --> 00:00:57.920 I wanted to give proper credit to the original lyric writer, 21 00:00:58.280 --> 00:01:01.399 which happened way back in nineteen fifty one, And so 22 00:01:01.479 --> 00:01:03.520 the song came out as if it was written in 23 00:01:03.600 --> 00:01:05.719 nineteen fifty one, and nobody found it. 24 00:01:05.719 --> 00:01:08.000 It's dated. It's fifty one. So no one finds it 25 00:01:08.000 --> 00:01:11.719 as a new release anyway. It's out there, so it's. 26 00:01:11.560 --> 00:01:16.120 A Spotify, yeah, Amazon, and I don't know, like two 27 00:01:16.120 --> 00:01:17.040 to three hundred people. 28 00:01:17.040 --> 00:01:19.560 I've heard that. Another reason why we didn't release our 29 00:01:19.959 --> 00:01:25.400 main song last month the Thanksgiving holiday competition with that, 30 00:01:25.439 --> 00:01:27.400 so we just said, let's just wait till December, and 31 00:01:27.439 --> 00:01:29.359 there was a band Camp Friday in early December, and 32 00:01:29.480 --> 00:01:31.920 also December fifth worked out perfectly. Just wait for the 33 00:01:31.920 --> 00:01:33.480 holidays to be done. Yeah. 34 00:01:33.560 --> 00:01:35.879 Yeah, we've had this whole thing about trying to chase 35 00:01:35.920 --> 00:01:38.439 the band Camp Friday's a little too late, but this 36 00:01:38.560 --> 00:01:40.120 time we were right on time, so we had a 37 00:01:40.159 --> 00:01:42.120 lot of time to get this song rolled out, which 38 00:01:42.159 --> 00:01:43.799 is another thing we've talked about a lot. 39 00:01:43.920 --> 00:01:45.920 Yeah, child Love Smarls. 40 00:01:46.040 --> 00:01:51.120 And so Drift Begins was scheduled too and came out 41 00:01:51.159 --> 00:01:54.920 on December fifth, twenty twenty five. The last song of 42 00:01:55.000 --> 00:01:56.239 the year for us for sure. 43 00:01:57.480 --> 00:01:59.480 So if you haven't heard Drift Begins jat it's out 44 00:01:59.480 --> 00:02:05.040 on all major music streaming platforms, you know, Spotify, Apple, Title, Amazon, 45 00:02:05.319 --> 00:02:08.000 YouTube Music and so on. And speaking of YouTube, you 46 00:02:08.000 --> 00:02:10.639 can watch our YouTube video on our YouTube channel. So 47 00:02:10.759 --> 00:02:11.759 we'll put link to that. 48 00:02:11.719 --> 00:02:15.879 Yes, another lyrics visualizer video by Yours truly with photography 49 00:02:16.080 --> 00:02:20.960 by his truly is that thing you can say. You know, 50 00:02:21.080 --> 00:02:23.520 I did have one stupid problem with this roll out 51 00:02:23.560 --> 00:02:26.800 though I don't know why, but the song did not show. 52 00:02:26.639 --> 00:02:31.479 Up on Instagram, like make a video with it in there. 53 00:02:31.599 --> 00:02:34.240 So yeah, we're like usually, you know, nowadays they're like, 54 00:02:34.240 --> 00:02:36.199 well when you post a photo that you should put 55 00:02:36.280 --> 00:02:39.039 music because you get more like engagement obviously as a band, 56 00:02:39.199 --> 00:02:41.360 like that's the kind of engage we want. And even 57 00:02:41.439 --> 00:02:44.479 someone else tried to share the song on their Instagram 58 00:02:44.560 --> 00:02:46.439 account and then having to put like city mood in 59 00:02:46.439 --> 00:02:48.560 the background, just telling people to go listen to our song. 60 00:02:48.879 --> 00:02:52.000 So you contacted them.

This is so poetic, thank you. 112 00:04:51.120 --> 00:04:53.399 Yeah, I can relate to that as a music listener. 113 00:04:53.720 --> 00:04:57.120 Yeah, and the holiday season can be roughs. Yeah, and 114 00:04:57.160 --> 00:05:01.439 which actually this flows right into Tom Lady. He actually 115 00:05:01.600 --> 00:05:05.800 responded to follow up on what Violet Baker said. It 116 00:05:05.839 --> 00:05:08.839 actually reminds me to listen to Happy Holidays, a song 117 00:05:08.879 --> 00:05:11.680 that helped me a lot on a particularly bad Christmas time. 118 00:05:12.519 --> 00:05:14.519 I guess your music has a good influence on many 119 00:05:14.560 --> 00:05:15.240 of us. Cool. 120 00:05:15.399 --> 00:05:17.959 Awesome, Tom, I'm glad that's cool because yeah, we know 121 00:05:18.000 --> 00:05:20.600 how I know firsthand how music has helped me out 122 00:05:20.600 --> 00:05:23.519 through some dark times, you know, and you know, rough times, 123 00:05:23.560 --> 00:05:25.680 and you know, it doesn't make the problems go away, 124 00:05:25.680 --> 00:05:27.959 but it makes them a little more easier to deal 125 00:05:28.000 --> 00:05:28.600 with sort of. 126 00:05:29.639 --> 00:05:34.759 Yeah, And sometimes I think, you know, lyrics, lyrics may 127 00:05:34.839 --> 00:05:36.920 resonate in a way that makes you feel like, oh, 128 00:05:36.920 --> 00:05:38.279 I'm not the only person in the world. 129 00:05:38.279 --> 00:05:41.959 It feels like, yeah, it's kind of it's the word 130 00:05:42.000 --> 00:05:44.319 I was gonna say, encouraging, but I feel bad. Other 131 00:05:44.319 --> 00:05:46.199 people feeling bad too. But it's just like, you know, 132 00:05:46.240 --> 00:05:48.319 you're not alone, like you know, it's like it's a 133 00:05:48.439 --> 00:05:49.519 human thing exactly. 134 00:05:49.600 --> 00:05:52.199 And then what you're feeling is normal. Yeah, and you're 135 00:05:52.240 --> 00:05:54.360 not the It's like it's so easy, especially when you're 136 00:05:54.360 --> 00:05:57.079 like looking on social media, like it seems like everyone's 137 00:05:57.120 --> 00:06:01.120 having an incredible time. The holidays are amazing. They're not 138 00:06:01.160 --> 00:06:03.680 always not amazing, you know, or in the case of 139 00:06:03.680 --> 00:06:06.319 the Happy Holiday song that I wrote, you may not 140 00:06:06.360 --> 00:06:09.000 always be in touch with the person that's on your mind. 141 00:06:09.120 --> 00:06:09.519 Yeah. 142 00:06:10.199 --> 00:06:12.279 So yeah, So speaking of which, that's a perfect time. 143 00:06:12.319 --> 00:06:15.160 But it's a perfect plug. Thank you so much, Tom Lady. 144 00:06:16.839 --> 00:06:20.519 Happy Holidays goes way back to like twenty twelve, yeah, 145 00:06:20.560 --> 00:06:25.480 on a Project Records a compilation called Ornamental CD. I 146 00:06:25.560 --> 00:06:28.079 think you can listen to it digitally on the streamers, 147 00:06:28.120 --> 00:06:30.959 but I think Project actually might have a couple of 148 00:06:31.000 --> 00:06:32.959 CDs left and stock too, if you like. You know, 149 00:06:33.079 --> 00:06:35.040 I see a lot of people are getting back into 150 00:06:35.040 --> 00:06:36.600 physical media, so you checked out. 151 00:06:36.600 --> 00:06:38.639 I'm just disgusting. I don't know how serious we were 152 00:06:38.680 --> 00:06:41.680 the other day about just getting in contact with Project 153 00:06:41.800 --> 00:06:44.079 just to buy the rights back to that song so 154 00:06:44.160 --> 00:06:46.399 we can use it ourselves. We'll see if he's open 155 00:06:46.480 --> 00:06:48.480 to it, because I don't think he does much with it, 156 00:06:48.560 --> 00:06:49.120 you know, but we. 157 00:06:49.160 --> 00:06:50.839 Sure had to do a lot with it, yeah, I know, 158 00:06:50.879 --> 00:06:52.399 because it's so many songs. 159 00:06:52.439 --> 00:06:56.120 It's yeah, we have only so many holiday songs, so 160 00:06:56.519 --> 00:06:57.759 you know, we might as well to see if we 161 00:06:57.759 --> 00:06:59.000 can like get it back. 162 00:06:59.079 --> 00:07:01.279 Yeah, I mean that's our only original. 163 00:07:01.519 --> 00:07:03.279 I guess it be open to it. Just might be 164 00:07:03.360 --> 00:07:06.040 kind of tricky just telling the distributor what's going. I 165 00:07:06.040 --> 00:07:07.000 don't know how it works out. 166 00:07:07.079 --> 00:07:09.439 And like there's another version of Happy Holidays that we've 167 00:07:09.519 --> 00:07:13.439 recorded together years before that in a totally different style 168 00:07:13.560 --> 00:07:16.120 and release it as anti pee. Yeah, so that's the 169 00:07:16.160 --> 00:07:18.519 one that I've actually been using on videos lately, which 170 00:07:18.519 --> 00:07:21.959 makes me think, Yeah, Sam did Sam Sam Resent? All 171 00:07:22.040 --> 00:07:25.120 Project Records did not get our original Happy Holidays by 172 00:07:25.160 --> 00:07:27.839 Love Sprowls up on Meta and that, so I can't 173 00:07:28.199 --> 00:07:29.199 make reels with that either. 174 00:07:29.680 --> 00:07:30.160 If we can get it. 175 00:07:30.319 --> 00:07:32.120 Yeah, I was thinking like we could do a slightly 176 00:07:32.120 --> 00:07:34.480 different mix. Yeah, we have been if we can find 177 00:07:34.519 --> 00:07:35.040 I don't know. 178 00:07:35.000 --> 00:07:38.000 That's me tough, but twenty twelve it's in the ballpark. 179 00:07:38.120 --> 00:07:40.560 It's not like something from like the twenty tens, you know, 180 00:07:40.639 --> 00:07:41.680 the zeros whatever. 181 00:07:41.879 --> 00:07:43.920 Yeah, two thousands, we're just barely over that. 182 00:07:44.160 --> 00:07:46.800 Yeah, because now it's all on the same digital audio 183 00:07:46.800 --> 00:07:48.439 work station on Logic, So I think I might have 184 00:07:48.439 --> 00:07:50.399 the hard drive thrown in a drawer somewhere. 185 00:07:50.439 --> 00:07:52.439 We luckily we have all year to get that done. 186 00:07:52.639 --> 00:07:54.480 Yeah, we're working on it in the spring. 187 00:07:54.800 --> 00:07:58.800 Yeah. So anyways, that was a fun aside.

Yeah, all right, so 200 00:08:35.279 --> 00:08:38.080 now let's start getting into like, what is drift beginnings. 201 00:08:38.440 --> 00:08:40.919 We've just kind of yeah, cast up, drift Against, went 202 00:08:40.960 --> 00:08:42.039 right into holiday music. 203 00:08:42.159 --> 00:08:44.519 Yeah, no, drift Against. I remember I was working on 204 00:08:44.559 --> 00:08:48.399 the song. I was feeling this kind of like nineties 205 00:08:48.759 --> 00:08:52.039 me vibe more so than like most other songs I've 206 00:08:52.080 --> 00:08:54.559 been working. I mean, sure, on every song I'm working on, 207 00:08:54.639 --> 00:08:58.799 I'm channeling every influence I have ever set, every part 208 00:08:58.840 --> 00:09:01.399 of my life and everything. On this one, I was 209 00:09:01.440 --> 00:09:05.039 really feeling it. I'm going huh So. One interesting thing 210 00:09:05.080 --> 00:09:07.000 I did once the song was kind of midway through 211 00:09:07.440 --> 00:09:09.600 is I pulled out my old drum machine from the nineties, 212 00:09:09.679 --> 00:09:11.519 the one I used on the one I used on that, 213 00:09:11.720 --> 00:09:14.120 like the first three low sparls downwards out in the nineties. 214 00:09:15.879 --> 00:09:18.679 Lisa's HR sixteen drum machine and it still works. So 215 00:09:18.759 --> 00:09:21.559 I just loaded it up, fired it up and just 216 00:09:21.679 --> 00:09:23.679 started hitting some of the pads into logic just to 217 00:09:23.720 --> 00:09:25.840 record all the pads and just cut out kicks and snares. 218 00:09:25.919 --> 00:09:29.320 Ended up using the kick, snare and high hat. I 219 00:09:29.320 --> 00:09:32.799 think I layered in another deeper, basier kick with the 220 00:09:33.080 --> 00:09:33.919 HR sixteen kick. 221 00:09:33.960 --> 00:09:35.080 I think you did say that, but. 222 00:09:35.080 --> 00:09:37.480 Yeah, it helped. I wasn't sure I was all going 223 00:09:37.519 --> 00:09:39.080 to work out with my new reverbs and stuff, but 224 00:09:39.120 --> 00:09:41.360 the snare it sounded great, So yeah, I left out 225 00:09:41.399 --> 00:09:41.919 all on there. 226 00:09:42.080 --> 00:09:42.960 That's so fun. 227 00:09:43.039 --> 00:09:44.919 Yeah. I don't know if it makes it sound more 228 00:09:45.000 --> 00:09:47.720 nineties or not, but yeah, yeah, you guys can tell 229 00:09:47.799 --> 00:09:49.879 us if you even filled more nineties with that or not. 230 00:09:50.000 --> 00:09:54.679 But yeah, this song is definitely hell in nineties like, 231 00:09:55.039 --> 00:09:57.320 but in another way, it's also kind of modern. 232 00:09:57.480 --> 00:10:00.919 It's more way more modern, way more now, but was 233 00:10:01.120 --> 00:10:02.919 a little more influenced from then. 234 00:10:03.360 --> 00:10:06.360 Yeah, and lyrically, I was like, I was like, you know, 235 00:10:06.440 --> 00:10:09.440 what is I mentioned before? But you know I was 236 00:10:09.480 --> 00:10:12.039 doing music in the nineties two that's a lot less 237 00:10:12.080 --> 00:10:14.279 known the Ryans. In fact, I never got onto any 238 00:10:14.320 --> 00:10:17.159 digital services, but I was like, let me dig back 239 00:10:17.200 --> 00:10:20.480 into those nineties recesses and like, let's think like what 240 00:10:20.600 --> 00:10:23.440 kind of what kind of lyrical content was going on 241 00:10:23.519 --> 00:10:25.360 in the nineties, you know, like that kind of like 242 00:10:25.440 --> 00:10:30.000 mystical poetic, like you can't quite figure out what the 243 00:10:30.039 --> 00:10:32.200 meaning of it is. And that I tried to kind 244 00:10:32.200 --> 00:10:35.000 of go for that nineties vibe with my lyrics and 245 00:10:35.120 --> 00:10:37.759 vocal delivery as well, and I think we had a 246 00:10:37.759 --> 00:10:41.120 lot of fun. I really kind of like tried to 247 00:10:41.159 --> 00:10:44.399 stack various types of vocals. And here's where it kind 248 00:10:44.399 --> 00:10:47.720 of dips into like what the influence of K pop 249 00:10:47.840 --> 00:10:49.159 is on us. You know, we watch a lot of 250 00:10:49.360 --> 00:10:53.159 videos of the singers going into the booths and working 251 00:10:53.200 --> 00:10:56.960 with the you know, the directors and producers to lay 252 00:10:57.000 --> 00:10:59.759 down their vocals, and you know, I was like, you know, 253 00:11:00.679 --> 00:11:04.279 I often have worried about having one really stable vocal 254 00:11:04.320 --> 00:11:06.720 that sounds like the same person all the way through 255 00:11:06.720 --> 00:11:08.679 a song. It's like I could just drop that, like 256 00:11:08.759 --> 00:11:10.519 I can bring up different tones of voice. 257 00:11:11.200 --> 00:11:13.440 And because they have like worry about they have like 258 00:11:13.519 --> 00:11:15.879 five eight singers in the band, all, yeah. 259 00:11:15.879 --> 00:11:18.440 Everyone's got a different vocal range and different style and stuff. 260 00:11:18.519 --> 00:11:20.879 So like I had fun with that, Like it doesn't 261 00:11:20.879 --> 00:11:23.960 necessarily sound the same from the verse to the pre 262 00:11:24.120 --> 00:11:29.120 chorus to the chorus of the bridge, And so after 263 00:11:29.759 --> 00:11:31.799 the song was done, I realized, like, you know, I 264 00:11:31.840 --> 00:11:33.440 think in some parts of this, I was kind of 265 00:11:33.519 --> 00:11:38.039 channeling like a mid period Pink Floyd kind of thing, 266 00:11:38.200 --> 00:11:41.600 like the metal album or yeah, like those soundtracks, they. 267 00:11:41.480 --> 00:11:43.519 Were even some of my work kind of sounds like 268 00:11:43.600 --> 00:11:47.360 David Gilmore is solo album on an Island, like the Yeah, 269 00:11:47.399 --> 00:11:50.120 the way I'm playing acoustic guitar, the tempo of the 270 00:11:50.159 --> 00:11:51.000 song and stuff. 271 00:11:51.080 --> 00:11:53.440 Yeah, yeah, let's talk about the tempo for a second. 272 00:11:53.679 --> 00:11:55.120 It's one of the few that we've done in non 273 00:11:55.279 --> 00:11:58.360 four four. It's in three four or six', eight depending 274 00:11:58.519 --> 00:12:00.480 on how you look at, It SO i kind of 275 00:12:00.480 --> 00:12:02.600 look at it a six. Eight, yeah it's like the 276 00:12:02.639 --> 00:12:05.600 waltz one two three one two, Three and then you 277 00:12:05.600 --> 00:12:08.600 hear that a lot like in, blues you, know, rock 278 00:12:08.720 --> 00:12:11.120 and you know it's in the. Nineties, yeah it's a 279 00:12:11.159 --> 00:12:13.720 popular thing About cockta with twins like That Pink, Floyd, 280 00:12:13.720 --> 00:12:16.840 like it's just a really cool time signature and we 281 00:12:16.879 --> 00:12:18.759 haven't used it all that, much but, yeah it worked. 282 00:12:18.799 --> 00:12:21.399 Out it was that was the right one for this 283 00:12:21.480 --> 00:12:21.840 song for. 284 00:12:21.879 --> 00:12:24.360 SURE i wasn't trying to do, it but listening back to, 285 00:12:24.399 --> 00:12:26.799 IT i was, like my low voice kind of sounds 286 00:12:26.840 --> 00:12:29.279 like a, man and then with the man sounding voice 287 00:12:29.279 --> 00:12:30.080 and the woman SOUNDING. 288 00:12:30.240 --> 00:12:32.519 I put, IT i sounds Like neil And rachel Of Slow, 289 00:12:32.519 --> 00:12:34.279 dive harmonized and together kind of sparred me on or 290 00:12:34.279 --> 00:12:36.080 IF i should throw one in, there but, no you're 291 00:12:36.200 --> 00:12:38.559 just doing, great SO i don't want my scratchy voice out. 292 00:12:38.559 --> 00:12:41.679 There it's so.

YEAH i really 294 00:12:45.159 --> 00:12:48.799 think that putting out a single every, month it feels 295 00:12:48.840 --> 00:12:51.320 so much more freeing than when we're like working on 296 00:12:51.360 --> 00:12:55.000 an album like constrained, one like kind of thing. 297 00:12:54.799 --> 00:12:57.440 You're, doing and then it doesn't get out, forever at least. 298 00:12:57.440 --> 00:12:59.919 Forever at least this way we, work it gets, released 299 00:13:00.360 --> 00:13:02.320 we get some, feedback we talk about, it and we 300 00:13:02.440 --> 00:13:04.559 repeat that, cycle and it's just better than just having 301 00:13:04.559 --> 00:13:07.399 it all bottled up for like two years or something like, 302 00:13:07.480 --> 00:13:10.200 yeah really it's. Horrible so this is kind of. Cool 303 00:13:10.200 --> 00:13:12.720 this is one ADVANTAGE i like about the digital, age 304 00:13:12.799 --> 00:13:16.240 the kind of workflow and the release cycle That i've 305 00:13:16.320 --> 00:13:19.200 kind of preferred more, quick shorter. Releases in the back 306 00:13:19.240 --> 00:13:21.399 in the days of, CDs i was trying to, label 307 00:13:21.720 --> 00:13:23.679 ask your, label CAN i just do four SONG? EPs 308 00:13:23.799 --> 00:13:24.799 and they didn't want an. 309 00:13:25.120 --> 00:13:27.559 Album the production cost was pretty the. 310 00:13:27.600 --> 00:13:29.600 Same, YEAH i mean it costs the same to like 311 00:13:29.720 --> 00:13:31.840 print up A cd and market, it so it might 312 00:13:31.840 --> 00:13:33.480 as well sell it for. More that is a full length. 313 00:13:33.480 --> 00:13:36.960 Album now with those constraints, away it's mainly a digital world. Now, 314 00:13:37.039 --> 00:13:39.600 yeah it's cool we do it this, way, yeah And 315 00:13:39.639 --> 00:13:40.200 i'm happy with. 316 00:13:40.240 --> 00:13:43.320 It another thing that was great about it is, like you, 317 00:13:43.360 --> 00:13:45.799 know you have to do so much marketing when you 318 00:13:45.840 --> 00:13:48.399 have when you've just spent two years making an album 319 00:13:48.960 --> 00:13:51.000 and then this this piece of plastic comes out that 320 00:13:51.039 --> 00:13:52.919 you need to. Sell you have to keep marketing and 321 00:13:53.000 --> 00:13:55.200 marketing and marketing and marketing the same thing over and, 322 00:13:55.240 --> 00:13:57.559 over and it seems, like you, know then you have 323 00:13:57.639 --> 00:13:59.799 all this creativity bottled up because like how much just 324 00:13:59.799 --> 00:14:01.320 want to get back to. WORKING i don't want to. 325 00:14:01.320 --> 00:14:02.720 Keep it and the things. Too when your marketing and 326 00:14:02.799 --> 00:14:04.840 market it's the same, thing the same album this, time 327 00:14:04.879 --> 00:14:08.039 we're different songs every, time totally different. Vibes so it's 328 00:14:08.120 --> 00:14:10.879 like now we're not beating the same drum over and. 329 00:14:10.879 --> 00:14:20.039 Over it, works especially with your little Visual anything special 330 00:14:20.080 --> 00:14:22.120 about the solo this? Time we often talk about the. 331 00:14:22.159 --> 00:14:25.279 Solo, well two weird technical THINGS i did different on 332 00:14:25.519 --> 00:14:28.279 this song with the. Guitars for the acoustic, GUITAR i 333 00:14:28.799 --> 00:14:31.360 used a different. MICROPHONE i used your really nice vocal micro, 334 00:14:31.679 --> 00:14:35.279 microphone your bag vocal. Mic and then also stuck in 335 00:14:35.360 --> 00:14:37.799 front of the app and recorded the solo that way, 336 00:14:37.879 --> 00:14:40.279 too instead of going. DIRECT i wanted to sound a 337 00:14:40.279 --> 00:14:44.960 little more real rather than going through all my weird stereo. 338 00:14:45.000 --> 00:14:47.679 Stuff just one mono mic in front of a, speaker 339 00:14:47.759 --> 00:14:49.840 and then THEN i started spread out and you, know 340 00:14:50.039 --> 00:14:53.480 in the in logic Pro but that's. It this is 341 00:14:53.519 --> 00:14:56.120 the first TIME i recorded either of those elements in that. 342 00:14:56.159 --> 00:15:00.120 Way. Wow, ever, yeah, AWESOME i guess that's one OF i, 343 00:15:00.120 --> 00:15:00.639 mean with your. 344 00:15:00.559 --> 00:15:03.159 Mic with your, MIC i recorded with your. 345 00:15:03.200 --> 00:15:05.039 MIC i guess that's one of the reasons why this 346 00:15:05.159 --> 00:15:08.000 song sounds less like a nineteen ninety one recording and 347 00:15:08.039 --> 00:15:09.519 a lot more like a twenty twenty five. 348 00:15:09.559 --> 00:15:12.000 Recording, yeah but you are going through a vintage mike, 349 00:15:12.080 --> 00:15:14.279 too so it brings some vintage in its like pre. 350 00:15:14.440 --> 00:15:18.480 NINETIES i won't say exactly what, decade but, yeah. 351 00:15:18.120 --> 00:15:21.200 Okay uh should we Talk spotify a?
