7:56 Speaker 3: This is Matt Connorton Unleashed and we are live from the studios of wm NH ninety five point three FM and Glorious Manchester, New Hampshire.

8:05 Speaker 21: I'm gonna move something here, it's in my way. There we go. That's a little better. Hey, welcome everybody. Of course out today is.

8:42 Speaker 3: Let's see, we've got the Flock with Stop Turning that's coming out June twenty four, and we follow that with Idle Hive Blood in My Margarita Sounds gruesome. It comes out June twenty six. So those will be available worldwide on your streaming platform of choice, but you get a sneak preview here on Matt connorton Unleashed and of course at WMNH ninety five point three FM. You will not hear those anywhere else, and if you missed them, we will repeat them later on in the show because we are here for you and to serve our listening public and all of that.

9:16 Speaker 3: But we do have a great show for you ahead in a few moments, we're gonna be talking to the band the Surge and really looking forward to that, and we're going to play their newest single, which is called See Your Face.

9:27 Speaker 21: So lots going on.

9:28 Speaker 3: We've got Low Sunday coming up in the second hour, sort of a shoegaze dark wave band.

9:34 Speaker 21: Sometimes it's hard to know exactly what all of these terms mean and then but you'll hear it. It's kind of funny.

9:39 Speaker 3: We had a conversation about that recently when we had Grimrock on the show. This was a number of weeks ago. Grim Rock was here with us in studio and Jenny and I always describe him as kind of a sort of a garage rock kind of vibe.

9:51 Speaker 21: But then when we saw him live.

9:53 Speaker 3: At the Spot in Nashua that night, he was able to appear on the show because he was on tour and we see him live, and Eleanor from Terminus commented that he comes across more as darkwave, which live he does come across more as dark wave, but I feel his studio work is more garage rock. See, so you get into all kinds of trouble with these various labels. But anyway, Low Sunday really good. They were gone for a long time, but they're back. Same thing with our our number three guest beaker, some women who've been doing this for a really long time, but they're back with I cannot wait to share.

10:34 Speaker 3: I actually had to make a radio edit of one of their songs because one of their songs, I have a song called Sally Said, which is not one of the ones they sent me to play, but I found it on band camp and it immediately became my favorite song of theirs, Sally said by Beaker. But I did have to make a radio edit to be able to play it here on American terrestrial radio, So that will be in the third hour, And of course I'm sure we'll seek in some music industry news as well as we like to do.

11:00 Speaker 21: So welcome everybody, I think what we're gonna do right now.

11:03 Speaker 3: Though, Oh by the way too, before we go any further, I do want to apologize and advance if my voice cracks. I don't know how obvious it is to people listening to the show. My allergies have been terrible here in the Northeast. We've had a horrendous allergy season. I think I heard somebody say it's due to the lack of rain. It doesn't rain enough, and when it doesn't rain enough, it doesn't wash away the pollen, so the paulin just sloats around in the air, completely unabated. My favorite thing is when I go out to the car and I actually have to wash off the windows because the pollen is so thick that I can't drive anywhere.

11:40 Speaker 22: All right.

11:40 Speaker 21: That might be a little bit of an exaggeration, but it's very, very thick. The point is it's affecting me.

11:47 Speaker 3: My voice has been cracking a little bit, So I apologize in advance. Again, I don't know if you can tell.

11:52 Speaker 21: I can tell.

11:52 Speaker 3: I can hear it in my headphones, and I'm like, whoa, I sound like I sound like Bobby Brady.

11:58 Speaker 21: And here's a reference. Peter White will appreciate it.

12:00 Speaker 3: I sound like Bobby Brady in that episode of No, It wasn't even Bobby, it was Peter, Peter Brady. I apologize, Peter White. That sound like Peter Brady in that episode of The Brady Bunch where his voice is cracking and they have to record that song. You know it's time to change, but his voice cracks all the way through it. Anyway, that's a lot. That was a lot to say sorry if my voice sounds funny. I'm a little bit self conscious about it. Yes I am, Yes, I am. So I am apologizing in advance cause it's only gonna get worse as the show goes on.

12:35 Speaker 3: This is something I know, this is something I've come to expect. If my voice is cracking a little bit at the beginning of the show, by the time we get to the end, of the show. I'm going to sound awful, so I apologize in advance for that, and for those of you who stick with me through the entire show despite how awful my voice will become over the next few hours.

12:55 Speaker 22: I thank you.

12:55 Speaker 21: I appreciate you. You are true supporters of the program. Thank you for that.

13:01 Speaker 3: At least I'm not sniffling and sneezing and wheezing and all of that. That's that gets really disgusting. It's it's all in my throat, all in my throat. All right, let's go ahead and do this. We're gonna play the newest single from the band the Surge. Cannot wait to talk to them, and this is called see your Face, and we'll have them via Microsoft teams on the other side.

17:36 Speaker 21: That is see your face.

17:39 Speaker 3: The new single from the Surge and the upcoming album Meow, which is gonna be out in August. And let's see, we've got the band with us via Microsoft teams. Let me get the volume up on this. We might have the full band. I'm not sure.

17:52 Speaker 13: Hey, guys, who do we have?

17:53 Speaker 21: Who do we have with us here?

17:56 Speaker 22: Hey, hey, Matt, let's see.

17:59 Speaker 9: I think three, yeah, three fifths. You're doing pretty well with three for sixty percent of the band you've got at the moment, excellently. We're all spread across the south coast of the UK at the moment. Various festivals.

18:12 Speaker 21: Oh very good, I'm oh go ahead, Oh no, I.

18:16 Speaker 9: Was gonna say, I'm at the is of White festival of the famous sixties one from Bob Dylan and Jimmy Hendrix, all that sort of thing. And I think Adrian is at a cider festival, drinking cider, I think in the perfect Yes, I'm the famous Jurassic Coast. So that's goes further than the sixties.

18:36 Speaker 28: Oh wow, sell it download in my head?

18:41 Speaker 21: Very good, very good. All right, So we've got three fifths. I'm not going a math, but is that sixty per No, that's more than sixty percent.

18:49 Speaker 9: I think it was sixty percent. We're doing really well. So just to introduce this, I'm Pete. I'm the songwriter and bass player and two backing vocals. We've got Age who is rhythm guitar, and then we've got Queenie who is a very special vocalist for the album. So and it's her picture on the front of the album.

19:10 Speaker 21: Yeah, very good, very good.

19:11 Speaker 3: Yeah, Queenye. I love your voice, great voice. I love absolutely I love that song see your Face and I know that. So that's on the upcoming album me Ow Are You All?

19:21 Speaker 9: It is?

19:22 Speaker 21: All right?

19:22 Speaker 3: So, as someone who loves cats, I'm going to ask the obvious question right up front, why why is the album called me Ow? And And is it because cats are awesome and so you should call it?

19:31 Speaker 5: That?

19:32 Speaker 21: Is that the reason? Or is there some other reasons?

19:35 Speaker 9: Well, I think that if it's not actually the reason, but I think we're going to take that as maybe the reason going forward.

19:42 Speaker 24: It's one of my reasons.

19:44 Speaker 28: We've got many reasons, which Pete can tell you, but it's one of us. I've always loved big cats and the choker, you know, I've always loved cats.

19:52 Speaker 9: Yeah, yeah, so, Matt, the actual reason was that we were looking through some amazing pictures of Queenie and we saw the one that's used for the album covered. It just sprung out, and I love pictures which they tell a story, right. It could have been anything could have happened in that picture. But and then after a few days I noticed that there was a choker that around her neck that said me out. And so we all looked at each other and said, that's the title.

20:19 Speaker 21: Yeah, well, that's the best one.

20:20 Speaker 3: It kind of presents itself, right when you don't have to think too hard about it, you don't have to rack your brain, just something sort of presents itself as the answer to whatever the question is that you're seeking, in this case, what you should call the album.

20:31 Speaker 21: So that's great, that's great.

20:32 Speaker 28: There's also some subtle meals in some.

20:36 Speaker 17: Of the lyrics.

20:36 Speaker 9: Oh yeah, you're right, you are, You're right. Yeah, there's certainly there's one. I think there's one. Wasn't intentional, but I think the meles have come from somewhere and some of the songs it just appeared reallywed in.

20:48 Speaker 3: Okay, all right, well that that's fair good. Any any purring in any of the songs.

20:54 Speaker 9: Yeah, probably.

20:57 Speaker 28: Growling if we're going to.

20:58 Speaker 21: The yeah, right, very good, very good. And the album comes out and it's out in August, correct.

21:06 Speaker 9: It's it's that in August. Yeah, we have We've got to launch party, which is going to be on the first of August. We're really really looking forward to that. So it's going to be a launch show with some of our friends playing. We're going to with CDs remember those we've got on the safe case of the UK, and then the album. The actual release date of the album we're still working through, but it will be some time on all the digital platforms in August. So yeah, it's all happening. The album's finished, it's been mixed, mastered, it's currently set on my laptop and various other people are who are pouring over it to see if the mixes are as good as we want, but we're all we're all absolutely delighted with how the mixes have come out.

21:51 Speaker 9: So it's been a lot of fun.

21:52 Speaker 3: Together, outstanding and you know, it's good to hear too that you're doing CDs, I can tell you, And I guess it's I've talked about this with other guests from You're Part of the World, and I guess it's a little bit different there than it is here. In terms of here CDs are actually have had a bit of a resurgence. Oh yeah, physical media. Well, of course vinyl never went away fully, but that that's out of resurgence over the last you know, ten years or so. But even CDs people still people here still seem to really like physical media.

22:24 Speaker 21: Yeah, but it sounds like maybe it's not quite as common there, not.

22:28 Speaker 9: Quite as common this so I lived in London for a while and that it does seem to be anything that's physical. People want to hold of something in their hand, and even people that you know this this sort of millennials and Gen zs want to actually have something which is which has been sort of lovingly put together, pictures of the bands, pictures, artwork that actually really means something as opposed to just click on an icon and there's there's a song coming out. Yeah, you want to have a keepsake.

22:58 Speaker 9: So yeah, cassette'es in some parts of the UK are are coming back a little bit. Vinyl of course, as you say, see these not so much. But yes, I think it's really just that having that something which was sort of lovingly put together by the band. Think it's great.

23:13 Speaker 3: So you've got casseets going on there too. Then people are putting things back.

23:17 Speaker 9: I think we I think we may do and I think we'll do a short run of like a limited edition vinyl and then we'll do the full colored vinyl and make something really really special for everybody. So oh yeah, it's all coming it's all coming together.

23:30 Speaker 22: I think.

23:30 Speaker 9: Yeah, the love of vinyl, it's never really going to go away. Smell the sort of ceremony of taking some vinyl out the sleeve and then you've got a you've got a lot of real estate on the cover that you can really really do something special, that's.

23:46 Speaker 21: True and nothing sounds better than vinyl, you know the warrant.

23:49 Speaker 9: Yeah, yeah, absolutely, yeah, I think it's I think it's to do with the dust, you know, where you've got the dust and cracker these cracks in a slightly different way.

23:57 Speaker 3: We've got a We actually have a record player here in the studio at w M and H. I don't I've never used it, but I know at least one of the other hosts who does a show here actually brings in vinyl and uses the record player. We also have a CD player, which I don't know if anyone uses, but we do. We do have a functioning CD player here.

24:15 Speaker 9: But no, we've got to We've got a DJ. He's going to join us on the for our launch party. Oh and she only plays she only plays vinyl, and so we've had to arrange some ticks to come into to the venue. But yeah, really really looking forward to that. But yeah, I agree with you. There's so much love.

24:35 Speaker 3: Absolutely, I think to a lot of people who My theory is, I don't know if there's any statistics that back this up, but I think most people who buy vinyl, at least younger people who buy it now, don't own a record player. But they buy it because, you know, if you're really a fan of a band or any any artist and you just want to have you know, even if you're just going to mount the cover on the wall almost like a post. Yeah, you know, it's just nice to have it.

25:02 Speaker 9: Yeah, you're right, Yeah, I think there's some that's One of my friends has got a company where that he makes presentation boxes for vinyl So you buy you buy these boxes, then you can you can you stick them on the on the wall, just as if they're painted, and then you can then you can swap over the different vinyls whatever mood you're in. So yeah, it's great.

25:22 Speaker 21: Oh that's cool. That's very cool work, isn't it.

25:26 Speaker 9: Yeah, beauty things are beauty and it means something to you as well.

25:29 Speaker 3: Right, right exactly, Now, how long has the Surge existed as a band? How long have you been around, because you've you've got you've got a fair amount of music out.

25:37 Speaker 9: We yeah, we've been so we've been in various formats, So just sort of very brief history. So Adrian who's on the call, and I have been just just working together slowly for maybe six years something like that, and various sort of iterations, lots of different musicians, and we had an album twenty twenty three and a whole bunch of singles and then we had a bit of a lineup change and then spent some time real time writing a new album and we and we met Queenie and yeah, she's just been such a breath of her share and really just a m you've heard a voice.

26:21 Speaker 9: It's quite remarkable voice on on stage. She's a real presence and you need that sort of stagecraft. We need to deliver the messaging from some of the songs. So yeah, we've been together for a while, but but just sort of taking our time to get the songs together, to get the right people in the room. And and you know, like like all good things, you just have to work at it, don't. You've got a problem, work the problem and you get the right outcome, right right.

26:50 Speaker 22: Sorry about that. Next albums. Next album is going to be called Wolf.

26:57 Speaker 9: Well very good.

26:57 Speaker 21: Well I like dogs too, They're not They're not as cool as out in my opinion.

27:03 Speaker 28: Oh, hang on, hang on, I've got two hours.

27:09 Speaker 3: And I'm curious about so at the end of our conversation, we're not wrapping up yet, but I do want to talk to you guys some more about At the end, we are going to play rich Girl, and I'm curious what went into the which is great. You've had a lot of success with that song, correct.

27:21 Speaker 9: Yeah, very much, very much. So, Yeah, I love, absolutely love that's It's such a live favorite as well, and yeah, always well received. Queenie always seems to present a different side of it in a live setting gigs, including giving away like two inch hine, bunny rubbits and all sorts of things, throwing them off the stage. But yeah, it's been.

27:47 Speaker 28: Brilliant about context.

27:48 Speaker 9: That just sounds mad, I know it does, but but it works.

27:52 Speaker 22: It really works live. Quite a contrast to See Your Face.

27:57 Speaker 29: I think I think you've got sort of two ends of the of the third there with See your Face and rich Our two ends.

28:05 Speaker 9: Yeah, yeah, well, I think risk i al really seems to get picked up in in sort of the Boston area, which is fantastic for us.

28:17 Speaker 21: Oh, absolutely absolutely. What do you think it is about that song that caught on?

28:23 Speaker 9: I think it's just that it's the direct delivery, yeah, and I think the I think it's also it's very topical, we know, so it's about Instagram and it's about influences and not everybody. I think, you know, in all social media, people present their best side and in it's often not a true reflection of who people are as individuals, and they portray one thing, but actually it's something else that's going on in the background, and I think it's resonated with people.

28:57 Speaker 28: Yeah, a lot of energy as well, it's really good high, a lot of Yeah. Absolutely, the boys vocals as well.

29:03 Speaker 21: To be honest, you think, well, I'm sorry say that again, Queenie.

29:07 Speaker 5: What the boy?

29:08 Speaker 17: The boy?

29:09 Speaker 24: They call them the boys the gentleman's vocals.

29:12 Speaker 21: Yes, wow, you know, yeah, yeah, absolutely absolutely, I am I do have to ask. I mean, I am curious. Has anyone been confused when you know?

29:21 Speaker 3: Because when I saw that the title, my first thought was, oh, did they cover rich Girl by Hall and Oates? And obviously you did not. It's this is this is an original song. But it is kind of interesting how just those two words together and even if the Hall and Oats song never existed, you know, that phrase rich girl. It does evoke a certain Oh, this is going to be about somebody I don't like or the.

29:47 Speaker 21: Type of person I don't like.

29:49 Speaker 3: Right, it does evoke a certain thing which which is born out in the uh in the presentation and the lyrics of the song.

29:57 Speaker 9: Yeah, you're that I hadn't thought about the holes who knows song? But yeah it's a great song.

30:04 Speaker 21: Yeah, yeah, yeah, the hollow Oats song.

30:08 Speaker 3: It was originally Darryl Holli said it was originally supposed to be rich Boy and someone.

30:12 Speaker 21: I think maybe John Ols or someone convinced him to change it.

30:15 Speaker 9: But but it is. Do you think that's why they fell out?

30:19 Speaker 4: That's it?

30:19 Speaker 9: That maybe that's the one, that's the one that reason that they don't work together anymore.

30:24 Speaker 21: That may be the reason. But now on the upcoming album, meow how many tracks are on the album?

30:30 Speaker 9: So there's eleven tracks on the album, okay, and so yeah, all original tracks and just complete spread everything from just observations in life, observations in society. There's a bit about love in there, but yeah, really I think I think I'm one of the quotes. Let's sort of it's all about you know, sort of you know, love, life and the pursuits of happiness in twenty twenty twenty twenties UK.

31:02 Speaker 28: Look out for each other as well.

31:03 Speaker 9: There's a lot of that, isn't there There is? Yeah? Yeah, yeah, we all have to look out for each other. No one's no one's an island, right, Well, need to help each other.

31:11 Speaker 21: Yeah, we all need more of that, no doubt. Will will Rich Girl be on that on? Is that included on me? How the remaster version it is?

31:20 Speaker 9: Yeah, it is the remaster words versions been given a bit, It's been given a bit of extra sparkle in the studio. We've we've got a long time collaborator with guy called Matt MacDonald and so yeah, the first part of the album is a real sort of assault on the census. So it just gives that extra Yeah, that extra sort of spring is the as the first five or six albums, the first of five or six tracks on the album come through and then it sort of settles into something different. So we try to work on try to work on the album.

31:58 Speaker 9: I think it's just we're in the way that modern music is consumed. It's often just cherry picking songs that people like and see you find a lot of albums where they're top loaded with all the hits, whereas we try to make this a bit more of a journey and and you match the match the tempos and the themes of the song. So hopefully it sort of gives that impression to listen to as a one piece of music.

32:24 Speaker 3: Is that challenging to kind of figure out the sequencing of the songs.

32:28 Speaker 21: I'm such a nerd for this kind of thing.

32:31 Speaker 3: All this is something I'm always so curious about because I'm wondering, like that is that hard to make those decisions or or.

32:38 Speaker 22: Oh yeah, very hard.

32:40 Speaker 9: Yeah, it's it's just it's lots of stuff about It's about momentum, just making sure that you've got that right pace. And so, yes, it starts off with a really the album starts off with a really good sense of urgency. Uh, and then it just it settles into something subtly different and takes you off in a totally different direction. So and then it ends actually on on really on a ballot, queeny, how would you describe movies?

33:07 Speaker 24: It's acoustic, isn't it? And yeah, it's a it's a ballad, it is I don't know how to describe it. It's really it's just completely you would.

33:18 Speaker 17: Not think it was us.

33:21 Speaker 9: Record.

33:22 Speaker 22: It's a surprise at the end of the album.

33:24 Speaker 9: Isn't it.

33:24 Speaker 28: You might not even recognize my voice that much because it's a completely different part of my voice. There's no belt, there's no growling, there's no you know, mix, there's nothing like that. It's just it's just acoustic and soft and yeah, ballad and just that is a bit of a loved one, isn't it. That's a lovely one.

33:39 Speaker 21: Interesting, I think so. And that's that's how the album ends with that track. Yea great train, that's cool, that's cool.

33:50 Speaker 9: Yeah, just just take you off somewhere different, And that's that's what music's about, isn't it. You've got to It's just distracts you from your day to day and just takes you up on a I do think at the end, Oh yeah, I.

34:04 Speaker 21: Do think it makes sense.

34:05 Speaker 3: So if you're gonna have something that's really kind of different than the rest of the album, to put it at the end as almost like a punctuation. I'm trying to think of another example. I feel like there's there's other examples of artists doing that exact thing, and I literally at the moment cannot think of a single one, but I know that there are examples of artists doing that where it's like, Okay, we have this one song that's different than everything else on the album, so we're gonna put it at the end and it'll kind of be just you know, just just we'll end.

34:36 Speaker 21: It on a different a different vibe or something than everything else sings.

34:41 Speaker 22: One that springs to mind, Oh good good, but back in the Day is Trained in Vain.

34:46 Speaker 29: On London Calling by the Clash, which is not even actually listed on the on the sleeve, and it's a very different song for now. It's a very clectic album anyway. Yeah, it's it's it's a sort of different song. I love song, which I think they were sort of pushed by their manager not to put on, and they snuck it on in the end anyway, they didn't get listed on the track on the sleeve even But yeah, I think that's the only one I can think of at the moment.

35:10 Speaker 22: But I know what you mean.

35:11 Speaker 29: I think quite a few songs like that crop up at the end of albums.

35:15 Speaker 9: Yeah.

35:17 Speaker 24: You don't need to stick to a genre, do you. Let's just do everything.

35:20 Speaker 29: Yeah, Well, London Calling great example, where you know they go through the clash, go through scar rockabilly punk, yeah, you know, even a bit of jazz and yeah, it's all on that.

35:30 Speaker 9: Yeah.

35:31 Speaker 28: I didn't realize influenced by something.

35:33 Speaker 3: Yeah, I just learned something interesting. I didn't realize it wasn't even listed on the sleeve.

35:37 Speaker 21: That's I didn't know that.

35:38 Speaker 22: It wasn't in the UK. I don't know.

35:40 Speaker 29: I think the US release was a bit later, but it possibly was listed by them. But in the UK, no, it wasn't even listed on the on the sleeve.

35:48 Speaker 21: I'll be damned.

35:49 Speaker 3: Yeah, I didn't know that. Oh, I've thought of an American version of that. I don't know if any of you were Van Halen fans, but the Van Halen album fifty one to fifty, which was the first album, was Sammy Hagar and lead vocals. How's a song. There's a song at the end called Inside. It's the last track on the album, and it's very odd. It does not sound like anything on the rest of the album. But yeah, yeah, I'm a big van Halen fan. So no, but I think that I think that is a great strategy. Did you did you decide to remaster anything else or just rich Girl.

36:26 Speaker 9: Just Richcott. We did. So. We have a song called Coda Royale and there are there's there's one word which I think some people could consider an expletive.

36:38 Speaker 22: So so we've done it.

36:39 Speaker 9: We've done a little remaster of that. It's nothing, it's nothing that you're that your grandma would be. But we thought we just clean it up, but no, there's plenty of there's plenty of scope for for I think some remixes coming out, maybe maybe a bit more of a so most of the music is pretty punky, so maybe maybe add a bit more of a dance element to it, but that that will be for for other people to work through. So so we're maybe we'll see we can get some remixes to work on it.

37:10 Speaker 3: Okay, okay, excellent, And then what's the plan as far as touring? Are you gonna be touring a lot for the album?

37:16 Speaker 9: So we've been relatively quiet for for for gigs and shows, but but things are really starting to build up that we've got a new album out, So so we were we were gonna going to start sort of from September onwards, so we've got pretty September is pretty busy, but actually we're getting shows at the end of July and into August. So yeah, we're we're we're certainly working through through through through these things at the moment. But yeah, there's some really good shows coming out, so we'll tag onto the end of the UK festival circuit.

37:55 Speaker 9: But but yeah, I mean we're we're open.

37:57 Speaker 22: So any contract you've got for.

38:00 Speaker 3: The yeah, absolutely, Well you mentioned festivals too, I mean that's that's great. It's I always say festivals are such a fantastic opportunity because not only does it get you in front of a large audience that might not otherwise be aware of you, but also to just the people you meet, the contacts that you make within the industry at a festival. I mean, it's it's really it's like the single best thing you can do for your career is play a festival.

38:27 Speaker 21: You know what I mean, it it really is. I mean just the opportunity there. So that's that's great.

38:32 Speaker 9: Yeah, no, I get I couldn't agree with you more. And ultimately, although you can see that some people are really put up on pedestal, they're just people. Just go speak to them, say hi, how are you, and people are more than happy to talk to.

38:45 Speaker 3: You exactly exactly Where is the best place to go online for people to keep up with the surge? So our listeners nowhere to find you.

38:55 Speaker 9: We're all over the place, so Amazon Music, Music, Spotify. We're also on Facebook and Instagram, all the sort of social places that social touch points that you expect us to be. So yeah, yeah check us check us out and the search and you've mentioned some song titles. I'm sure people can find can find us, so but yeah, we'd love to hear from people.

39:22 Speaker 3: By the way, the song in Love with Yourself is that on the upcoming album mew yeah that is yeah, yeah, because I found I found that online too, a radio edit of that. Because what I plan to do, what I plan, What I plan to do at the end of our conversation is I'm gonna play rich Girl, but rich Girl is a short song, so I'm gonna sneak in one more after it.

39:41 Speaker 21: I'm also gonna play I'm also gonna play in Love.

39:43 Speaker 3: With Yourself because this is a song that I really really like a lot, and I'm curious about it.

39:49 Speaker 26: Is it?

39:49 Speaker 21: Is it about somebody specific?

39:51 Speaker 22: Is it just?

39:51 Speaker 21: Is it kind of a relationship song? Like, what's any backstory you can give us?

39:56 Speaker 9: Oh no, no, no, that's I can't I can't possibly disclose. Oh no, it's like that.

40:03 Speaker 21: Oh no, I really want to know.
