Speaker 7: Very good.
Speaker 9: Welcome Larry, thank you. Ed I'm Edward Nikolaidis. I play guitar in some bass.
Speaker 7: Very good, very good.
Speaker 10: Jeff Richard's lead voice, mouth loudmouth, annoying one. I do the vo goals and a little acoustic guitar.
Speaker 7: Very good. And you, sir, oh, hang on, Bruce, I'm sorry, this is this is lower than next for Bruce.
Speaker 11: My name is Bruce Gates. I play bass in a little bit of guitar, back of vocals.
Speaker 7: All right, welcome, welcome guys. Uh, so we have some new music from you. We're going to be featuring in a few minutes. But so well let's address this. So you guys are a four piece now, yes we are. And I think now, you guys you were a five piece for a while, but you weren't always a five piece before that, right, we're like, then we went to five, That's what I thought.
Speaker 10: Yeah, but since we got Bruce in the band, we're able to if we need to be a four piece because he plays bass. Two yeah, and then now it's cool that he plays bass too, So the guys do some switching around.
Speaker 9: Okay, okay in real time, in real yeah, yeah, well things are being switched around.
Speaker 10: The constant stay is thus four right, just work, it works good, it's it's fun, right.
Speaker 11: We do well together, the four of us.
Speaker 7: Logistically, it's easier in some ways, right, you know, when you're when you're booking shows and stuff, it's it's easier if you got four people than five people.
Speaker 10: Yeah, then we only have to pay each other. We get more money, right too, there you go, yeah, rent money, yeah kidding, we'll get with some of the bums sitting outside to come in and you know, pay some rent or something.
Speaker 7: Right, right, it's funny. I was, you know, a long time ago. I was in a band called First Shove, and First Shove had always been a five piece, and then, uh, we lost one of our guitar players. And and I remember Rich Burke, who was the one original member of the band, so he was kind of the de facto leader. He said, uh, maybe we should just be a four piece for a while. And it was, you know, only having one guitar because it was you know, the kind of thing where you know, there was always that two guitar attack, but it was like, Eh, after a few shows, it was like, oh, it's kind of easier.
Speaker 10: Yeah, it's kind of like we've been rehearsing as a four piece and just like yeah, they switch on a couple of songs, so they you know, to still play bass, still play guitar recording. We're just gonna have a you know, if anybody can do whatever they want on the recording, they can all play guitar as they can.
Speaker 7: You can play bass on half the song, you play.
Speaker 12: In the middle of a song.
Speaker 7: Yeah, that's gonna be gonna be fun. It just works the four yeah, Joe, Well, yeah, yeah, outstanding. And so you've been recording, so tell us about these uh so well, South Louisiana, So tell me about this track. This is really really good.
Speaker 10: So we just walk into practice one day and Bruce is messing around on the guitar and then I turned my vocal mic on and then I'm like hmmm, and I think I said, hey, what's that and he says, oh, just something I'm messing And then I get a big smile because if it's if it's his, that means I can put something to it, right, And yeah, I just started kind of singing something. Ed started putting some stuff to Larry started playing some drums, and we just kept jamming it and jamming it. And then yeah, we started playing it at gigs and people like, what's that song?
Speaker 10: Yeah, I'm like, oh yeah, and uh, it took us a while to get it recorded, but yeah, we found the right time in our schedule to dip into it, and we started at the beginning of the year. Then we all got the plague for like two months and we're sick and cold. Yeah, brutal, and so yeah, it's it's it's cool. It's out now on all the digital platforms, and so we're excited for people enjoyed it so much live. It's gonna be it's gonna be nice to have the feedback what they if they like, what they like about the recording.
Speaker 7: Yeah, well, well it's interesting to me. Is so the two tracks you sent me, so you've got that, but you've also got not coming Back, the down South mix. So I'm curious, I mean, is did one influence the other because you've you know, you've got they both have a southern theme apparently, right, Yeah.
Speaker 10: It was, I don't know, it was just kind of like like I needed any more to work on. But I was like, you know what, like not coming back. There's an acoustic version of it on the CD. Yes, but it's not really like it's it's not a true acoustic version, you know, it's more you know, it's I don't know, I just want to do something more. We put a twelve string part to it, took out some stuff. Sometimes the things you take away really add yes. Yes, just made it more simple. Yeah, And I was like this kind of sounds cool.
Speaker 10: I played it for the guys like cool, and I'm like, ah, this is gonna be a digital B side, Okay. I love like back in the day with the records or even the cassette singles, you always had that B side. Yeah, and now everything's digital, but why not we can still have a digital B side?
Speaker 7: Yeah. I was like like growing up, you know, more so with UK artists, they would they would put, you know, a B side that wasn't something that was on the album, because you know, most American artists, it would just be you know, the label would pick a throwaway track from the album and that would be the B side, something that they didn't think they were We're going to release as a single. But bands like like Oasis always did this, like all their b sides were were new. Like my favorite Oasis song is Acquiesce.
Speaker 12: That's a B side one of my favorite bands I love.
Speaker 7: Yeah, yeah, yeah, absolutely, But but I always thought that was cool. So digital B side. I like that concept. Yeah, that's excellent.
Speaker 11: Our next single will have a dance mix as the B side.
Speaker 7: Yeah, there you go.
Speaker 11: That was a common thing too, right, like someone releases song, yeah the dance mix or whatever.
Speaker 12: Yeah, Joe, we could probably do that.
Speaker 7: Probably, we can do whatever we want. Yeah, that's the thing. Yeah, that's the thing. Well, should we play this? Should we play South Louisiana?
Speaker 10: I think it's time the world needs to hear this.
Speaker 7: Now has this been heard?
Speaker 5: Uh?
Speaker 7: Has this been heard anywhere on the radio already? No, this is the debut of this. So this is the World Radio Premiere.
Speaker 10: World Radio, we always come to you with our premieres.

You're getting some love in the chat room. Oh Tom Syracuse is in there, says bad ass tune. Gentlemen, great performance last night. Where did you guys play last night? Bungalow?
Speaker 5: Ah?
Speaker 7: Yes, now that's a new place, Yes, kind of new. There are open and they closed and they openly closed. Okay, I feel like I've just been hearing about them recently. Yeah, they're getting a buzz going with the place.
Speaker 11: It's a nice You get some national accent there too.
Speaker 7: Oh, really good. And where is that? Where's the bungalow right across from the Gill Stadium? Oh it is okay, Oh right there. Yeah, it's hard to find it. Then you have time. You were talking about it. You were talking about that off air. Yeah, they said they got one on the way.
Speaker 10: But yeah, yeah, driving all around looking for that place.
Speaker 7: Yeah, maybe that's why it closed before you said it open and closing. Then maybe they just never had a sign and you know, yeah, nobody's coming and can't find it. Oh that's funny, that's funny. Who'd you play with? Who else was their last.
Speaker 10: Night thumbed it down, Dark Rain and Exception.
Speaker 7: Okay, very good show, very cool, very cool. Oh there was another comment in the chat room too. Now this might be a little off topic, but oh actually, before I go to that, Debbie Williams Worthman says, love it,
Speaker 7: somebody else was asking, uh, let's see let me get back to it here. Anthony de Maambro de Mambro says, have you ever seen the Elm Street market basket Elvis?
Speaker 8: I have not.
Speaker 10: I feel like I feel like I have. I try to stay clear of that place.
Speaker 7: I do too either too. I will not go to that market basket. The parking lot itself is a nightmare.
Speaker 10: Well did you see that accident.
Speaker 4: Right through the flying right?
Speaker 5: Oh?
Speaker 7: Yeah, I love that was Larry trying to get the band Brack who says I rush, I did, I did see that. Yeah. But I feel like I know who the market street, the market basket Elm Street, Elm Street market basket, Elvis is.
Speaker 10: I wonder if you got to go like around one am and find him or something.
Speaker 7: Well, because there's a there's a guy I've seen and this dude's been around for decades. I used to see him when I lived in Concord, but I've seen him around Manchester too. I got who just has Elvis style hair and the sideburns. Does that sound familiar to any of you guys, just some dude who's always around? Yeah, yeah, So I wonder if that's the guy because.
Speaker 11: You wear like the suits and by like peanut butter and bananas and stuff.
Speaker 7: No, no, no, not that I've seen, but he does have. But he just has the hair on the sideburns and it's, uh, it's really strange. So we'll make it a cattle call to guy. Get him on the show. Yeah. Well, now I'd love to invite him on. Yeah, so we'll put that out there. Some interesting conversations that could be that could be. Yeah, I haven't seen him lately, but I've definitely seen him around baby, just for so, where did you guys record that? Because it sounds amazing in South Louisiana.
Speaker 10: So we record ourselves. Yeah, digital, So we did a bunch of that at our gam space, yeah, and then some stuff at my house.
Speaker 7: It's great though, that you're able to pull that off because a lot of bands try to do that. Oh you know, we record in our band space and then it you know, and they come out with something that sounds like a demo.
Speaker 10: Sounds like it was recorded at a band space, right right.
Speaker 7: But but everything you guys do it sounds like it was done in a million dollar studio.
Speaker 10: Yeah, it's nice because we can. It's it's it's a double edged sword because you you've got the total control and the time overdoing it. Sometimes you overdo it. Yeah, Like I've had times where it's been like I spent way too much time on something and doing it again and then realizing, oh, it sounded the same as it did before, right, you know, But you got to learn when to back off of it, like I take a break from it for a day if I get burned on it.
Speaker 7: Yeah, yeah, no, that makes sense. But fatigue, oh yeah, yeah, you're fatigue is very real.
Speaker 12: But thirty forty years ago, you didn't have that option to do that. All you had was a four track recorder, right, just going to sound like a task him. Yeah, I still have one.
Speaker 7: I have one of those.
Speaker 12: Yeah.
Speaker 8: Yeah.
Speaker 7: Yeah, we're paying huge money at a studio exactly.
Speaker 12: That was your two options right there.
Speaker 7: Yeah, yeah, of course, the studios. You know what's interesting to me is studios are one of those things that it's always interesting as we get older to see like what technology goes away, what technology doesn't go away that people are thinking is that people think will go away. What technology goes away that people think what we would always have? And you know, one of the things I remember people predicting decades ago is eventually you won't have recording studios anymore because everybody will be recording on their own.
Speaker 7: Yep. But I feel like there's more recording studios than ever, so studios continue to thrive. But if you know what you're doing, which you guys obviously do because you know, again that sounds like it was done in a million dollar studio. You know, you've got so many you've got more ways than ever now to record music.
Speaker 10: Yeah great, Yeah, as long as you get that it's all digital. So as long as you get a nice clean recording, do whatever you want with it.
Speaker 7: Yeah right, Yeah. Is that how you guys have done it from the beginning, because everything I've heard you guys ever put out pretty much it all sounds yeah.
Speaker 10: Pretty much that's how we've been doing it for years.
Speaker 7: Yeah, yeah, outstanding. Yeah, and then so I assume with so the other new track the uh down South, Yeah, they're not coming back? Yeah, down South mix of Not Coming Back? Is it down South mix?
Speaker 12: Yeah?
Speaker 10: Down South mix? Yeah, you did that the same way obviously, right yeah, I mean we just took that. It's the same tracks from the album. Yeah, but we added the fresh twelve string to it, Okay, okay, and took a bunch of stuff out of it. Yeah, made it more homegrown sounding, right right? Yeah, No, it's really good. Should we play that next that we'll get that spent dying to share this with? All right?
Speaker 7: Very good. So this is the Not Coming Back. It's the down South mix and it is a digital B side, Yes, from from Day to a ten. Let's give this a spin. This is really good.
Speaker 4: Enough, botone, you wants never speaker what you see.
Speaker 1: Now?
Speaker 4: You said too much. Time to go for a little round, had You're not coming back. You're seeing way too much.
Speaker 4: You're not coming back. You said way too much. Mother left you when you were ten. Father you had never seen him him.
Speaker 2: A trouble laugh took you away. You have to known on judgment, you're not coming back. You've seen way too much.
Speaker 4: You're not call me that. He said, wait too much, you.
Speaker 1: Don't come back. I hope you got you say.
Speaker 4: It's got too bad.
Speaker 1: If it ain't you, then it's bad.
Speaker 14: Have mercy on muscle, please begin, make peace, begin mad,
Speaker 14: Have mercy on muscle, Please begin me.
Speaker 15: Peace, begin mad. You're not coming, Messy, you wear too much.
Speaker 3: You're not coming Bessy, you were too much, You're not come in Bassie.
Speaker 4: Way too much.
Speaker 7: Hmm. There it is the down South mix of not coming back sweet by day to attend and we have day to attend. You're with us, We're with us in studio. Jeff, you were saying you have a story about.
Speaker 10: So I add the other We added twelve string to it, but also added the scene way too much at the end, which was actually it was an idea of Larry's.
Speaker 7: Oh that he came up with it.
Speaker 10: But we had the album was finished, and he came up with it, and I was just like, I can't, I can't dig it back out, and so we do it live all the time. Bruce sings that, okay, so when we're doing when I was doing that edit, I was like, I gotta add that in.
Speaker 7: Yeah. I couldn't wait to tell him about it. But yeah, that was his idea. Oh, that's cool. That's cool. You should talk to you about the about what the song's about. I know we've talked about it before on the show, but for new listeners, because there's obviously there's a story to it.
Speaker 10: Yeah, it's like a mob story. It's like a story song. Yeah about you're involved with the mob and you've got like somebody young. You work with them and they screw up and they see something and they say something, and now it's your problem. You got to take care of them. You're not coming back time.
Speaker 7: To go for a little ride.
Speaker 10: You're not coming back, and it's either you take care of the problem or you're gonna get taken care of. Probably watched Good Fellaws or something. Ye I think the other day just said, oh, I just realized what that was about. Remember you told me, you said to me you were you read you were reading the lyrics. I got it on text.
Speaker 11: Really he has evidence, all right.
Speaker 8: I think he's trying to say we're.
Speaker 7: Going to go for a little ride.
Speaker 8: It might not be.
Speaker 7: Because oh boy, that was a great song. So what what's the plan for these Well, I know that's a digital B side, but for South Louisiana is not going to go on an album. Are you guys working on an album or we are excellent.
Speaker 10: Starting like we've got like next practice is writing okay, and yeah, we're just gonna do one song at a time until we get an album.
Speaker 7: Yeah.
Speaker 10: I don't know if we'll put them all out as singles. I want to save stuff for a full album. But you know, we'll probably like South Louisiana is out, I would, I could say, we probably maybe do one more single, okay, and then just kick ass on now, you know, getting the album done.
Speaker 12: Yeah.
Speaker 10: Yeah, I think we're gonna get it done fast because.
Speaker 7: We got all these ideas.
Speaker 8: Really.
Speaker 5: Yeah.
Speaker 10: Every time we practice lately, it's like the first ten minutes is you know, oh yeah, every recall. I literally have like multiple ideas of songs.
Speaker 7: Yeah. Yeah, So I think we'll that's we'll start doing that now. Yeah. That's good. That's good. The last one came out, what was it two years ago?
Speaker 12: Yep?
Speaker 10: Okay, it is like about two years ago, yeah, twenty four August twenty four.
Speaker 7: Yeah, okay, okay. Do you think I mean, is it is anything gonna change with the new one? I mean, obviously the person out maybe changes, but in terms of your approach to you know, thematically or anything. Any any ideas like or do you think it'll be kind of the same sound or.
Speaker 10: I think it's gonna be more of a band effort. Yeah, Like, whereas the last two albums, a lot of it was me and ed I think it's gonna I think we're gonna jam a lot and just come up with stuff. Yeah, that's kind of what we've been doing, you know. Yeah, and Bruce wasn't around when we did the album, right, so now we've got his element of ideas that he has, Yeah, and me and Eddie just have a backlog of stuff you will. Yeah, Yeah, I think I think it'll change. I think our sound is gonna change in a well, I think we're gonna experiment more.
Speaker 10: Yeah, Like really sulth Louisiana is very different from them anything, or even if you listen to our Fallowing Awake albums, there's different, you know, styles on there. You get the Goo Goo Dolls sounding song and then the heavy stuff and the commercial stuff. So yeah, we're gonna it's gonna be a ripping new album. I'm excited about it.
Speaker 7: Yeah, definitely outstanding. Do you have any kind of any idea you probably You're probably not ready to put a deadline on it, right, I mean, but maybe I don't know. Do you think do you think do you think within the year you might have something or we hope?
Speaker 10: So yeah, I was telling you I would like to I'd like to finish out the year and have it ready to go maybe for you know, early next year, right, it's April already.
Speaker 11: Yeah a lot.
Speaker 7: Yeah, we still get a lot.
Speaker 10: I mean, yeah, we got a lot of work to do, but yeah, we work well together fast, Like when we finally got down to recording South Louisiana, we had that thing.
Speaker 7: Done quick really. Yeah.
Speaker 10: Plus we've been playing it for like eight months, so we've always added down good you know.
Speaker 7: Yeah, yeah, no doubt. Do you try to everything that you're recording, do you always try to play it out first? We always?
Speaker 12: Yeah, Like Charlie Hill Wheel, Yeah, experiment.
Speaker 10: Mike and Terry Charlie's Hill say ahead of them.
Speaker 7: Yeah yeah, yeah, they've been on the show. They came out to the show last night.
Speaker 9: Okay, yeah, yeah, we usually experiment out there. Yeah, Charlie Hill, we see what it's But if people like it, you know.
Speaker 7: Because some bands won't, it's interesting you know, different people kind of approach that differently, Like some bands they don't. It's like, oh, we're working on new stuff, but we can't we can't play it out till we've recorded it, you know.
Speaker 10: It's yeah, I mean it depends on the show. If we're opening for like a national act, we're going to do all our tight stuff that ever, you know. But gigs like that like Charlie's Hill is very relaxed. That's the place you go and try stuff new out. I feel, yeah, because we've Yeah, almost every time we play it there we have a new song that we've split out or something.
Speaker 12: Yeah.
Speaker 7: Oh that's cool. It's kind of fun. That's cool. Is there still a lot in your set from when? Because Dad to a ten? How long has ay to Atten been around? Now it's been Has it been a decade now?
Speaker 10: We started like twenty twenty ish?
Speaker 7: Oh well okay, yeah, so actually a lot lesson I thought.
Speaker 10: Because we ended up doing the album during COVID. Yeah, first album, Oh, COVID was twenty twenty right, yeah, yeah, and.
Speaker 7: COVID cause for I think a lot of us, including me obviously, this weird time distortion thing where I don't know how long ago it was anymore.
Speaker 10: It was like Day to Attend was kind of like a solo project I was doing, and I was playing with Eddie and Larry and we were doing some shows and then we kind of, you know, changed.
Speaker 7: Into the band.
Speaker 10: But when yeah, when COVID shut everything down, that's when we just said, well let's record. Yeah, continuous Bloom came out of that, okay, yeah, and that was that came out on to.
Speaker 7: Two. Oh okay, okay, yeah, and yeah, do you still play a lot of that from the first from the first album in the live show.
Speaker 10: We have a couple songs I want to play more from that though. Really, yeah, I think we'll dive into that a little more. We have a we're talking about that at the end of the day right there in.
Speaker 8: The like man like that in a while.
Speaker 11: Yeah, that's be kind of cool if we did the album and its entirety the anniversary or something.
Speaker 10: Yeah, that would be That's a cool.
Speaker 12: Yeah.
Speaker 11: I love when bands do that kind of stuff. Yea, sometimes it's overdone, but sometimes it's really cool. It was like, yeah, that was really like when Rush did moving Pictures during the Time Machine to I love stuff like that.
Speaker 7: Yeah, Yeah, that is cool.
Speaker 10: It's like it's hard to do set lists, like because Continuous Bloom is like a thirteen song album and Falling Awake as a ten. Yeah, so that's twenty three tracks right there. To pick your ten songs set. It's a good problem to have. Yeah, and then you add stuff like South Louisiana and then now that's one more song from the catalog that's not going to get played because we want to play the new stuff, you know, right, all right? But yeah, like we can switch around stuff too. Yeah, Like we don't have to do.
Speaker 10: We tend to kind of do the same set for the summer. But I think, especially now that we're a four piece and we've played all the stuff, we can switch around stuff more.
Speaker 7: Yeah, no doubt, no doubt. I was thinking, should we play another one from uh Falling Awake? Maybe uh World of Zen? Yeah, yeah, do that, that'd be cool. I'd like to I'd like to get another one of those awake everybody up. Yeah, I like I like this one a lot, and have the uh have the radio edit Bake is your favorite? Maybe we'll play that at the end of the segment. We can get that in. Yeah, absolutely, no, we have time. Yeah, let's give this a spend. This is really good. This is a world of zen. And if you are just joining us day to attend, is here.
Speaker 6: Here want you say?

Speaker 10: Yeah, they're from Maine, right, Yeah, they're far Yeah, yeah, from far. Yeah, they came down and played last night.
Speaker 7: It was very cool. That's awesome.
Speaker 10: I tried to do shows with bands that are similar to what we do so that nobody's you know, like we've done shows before and a band comes out screaming and then the place just clears.
Speaker 8: Yeah, you know.
Speaker 10: I try to do similar in styles and but friends too because we want to hang out and stuff like that.
Speaker 7: Right, of course, last night was a really good show.
Speaker 12: Yeah.
Speaker 7: Are there are there bands in the area you play a lot of shows with, Like, is there anybody in particular that you guys haven't been, you know, because it happens organically. You know, he kind of team up.
Speaker 17: With think the bands were with last night pretty much right, Yeah, and we played with a lot of thumbs down a couple of times.
Speaker 10: Yeah, we have this cycle of like we kind of play with these few bands if you like, for the summer and other bands.
Speaker 7: You know, stuff like that.
Speaker 10: But we're always up for we don't it doesn't have to be our show. We're happy to open for a band too, like you know, we're up for anything.
Speaker 7: Yeah, yeah, yeah, outstanding the music out there, Yeah, exactly, exactly. Well, guys, this has been. This has been wonderful. So two things. So first, where where's the best place to go to keep up online with everything that you guys are doing.
Speaker 10: So if you go to data atten dot com, it goes to like our electronic press Kit and everything is on there, shows samples. And then our Facebook. Our Facebook got all screwed up a couple of months ago and had to restart a new one. So we're trying to build. Yeah, we're trying to build the followers back up. We had like almost a thousand.
Speaker 7: Yeah, what what happened? Because I know somebody else had happened to too, just just very recently. I kind of like, like, did somebody hack it?
Speaker 11: No, it was I packed it.
Speaker 7: I tried to change.
Speaker 5: It.
Speaker 10: Had I'm trying to think how to explain this in the silvil way it had Well, it was stupid. I screwed it up. I tried to change there was a birth date on there. It was incorrect. I tried to change to the band's birthdate of you know, whenever we started, and they locked me out of it. And then I was like, oh, it was something years ago. You could do band pages as a personal page. Yes, so like you go on my personal page, it's Jeff Richards. The day to attend was day to attend.
Speaker 7: Yes.
Speaker 10: So what happened is when I changed went to change the date on the birthdate, it wanted proof of IDs and my name is not day two attend, so and I just forgot about it happened with our Eden's lie one back in the day. Yeah, yeah, so yeah, So I sent in my license picture and just tried to explain what it was, and they just two middle fingers to me, You're gone done.
Speaker 7: So whatever. I started a new one.
Speaker 10: Yeah, it's the new one's easier because I can link it to my page, like sign up, in and out all the time.
Speaker 7: Yeah, yeah, there you go. In the in the long run, you might be better.
Speaker 10: Time if anybody's had an old Facebook that they used, don't screw with the birth dates and stuff.
Speaker 7: Like yeah yeah, oh yeah, because once they lock you out too, and it's not like you're it's not like there's a person you can talk to the reasons why it's all boughts and ai yeah yeah.
Speaker 10: And it wasn't a music page. It was a personal page named after that, right, So now we have the music page, we're building the followers.
Speaker 7: Yeah, you're better off of the lock that's that's going to work out for the best.
Speaker 10: But I was just trying to be crafty one night, yeah, to update some stuff, clean it up a little. And oh yeah I cleaned it up all right.
Speaker 5: Yeah.
Speaker 7: Is the page still there and you're just locked out.
Speaker 10: Or did they take down it's it's it's down, it's down, ok, yeah they totally Yeah, Well that's better.
Speaker 7: Than it continuing to exist but you're locked out of it. Yeah, that's because that's not good.
Speaker 10: That's the other thing we had another there was another page subbed off of it that was like a music, and I couldn't get rid of one of them, and it was confusing because people were like, well, which people were leaving me messages on this one and that one? So when the main one get taken down, it killed that one too, and I just started fresh.
Speaker 7: It is good. Yeah, yeah, it is what it is?
Speaker 8: Yeah.
Speaker 7: Yeah, that's one of one of those things you learned, start over exactly exactly, Well what should we uh? What should we close with?
Speaker 2: Uh?
Speaker 12: You're mentioning the meaning. Let's let's play that.
Speaker 7: Which one the meaning? Yeah?
Speaker 10: Yeah, yeah, if you want to talk about something completely different. When we were talking earlier, our poppy different, I call it our Goo Goo doll song.
Speaker 9: Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, I know that wasna meaning.
Speaker 7: Actually I couldn't think of what the title it was the meaning? So what is the meaning of the meaning?
