Yeah, the spot, the spot, stop, the spot, the
spot, the spo stop, the st stop to sup the staff, the
staff, the staff. And I feel like things are falling into place,
and I feel like it's the end of the Red Queen's Rage. And I
feel feel like the stars are gonna change, because I feel like this was
all just rear As we move from hugs and hand shapes, we must remember
how our souls ay. As we move from confidant to confidet, we must
remember how our souls pay. But I feel like things are falling its legs
and I feel like it's the end of the Red Queen's Reggie. And I
feel like the stones are gonna change because I feel like this was all just
rearraying and people take too much pride in the way they picked their side,
split up into them and us a sign seating on the s on the bus.
But I feel like things are falling its please and I feel like it's
the end of the Red Queen's Races. And I feel like the stars,
like the stars are gonna shade because I feel like this was all judearing.
As our lives get long separated, well we wish they weren't. So as
things get more complicated, well we wish we could just know, just know.
But I feel like things are falling into please and I feel like it's
the the end of the Red Queen's Rage. I had a feel like the
stars are gonna change because I feel like this was all just preer range,
and a feel like things aren't falling its place, and I like it's the
end of the Red Queen's Rage. Had a feel like the stars, like
the stars are gonna change because I feel like this was all just freer range,
I said, I feel like this was unleus freer range. M I
love that that is falling into place. The band is jam tomorrow and we're
gonna hear some more from those guys in just a couple of minutes. And
to open up the show today, we had Hope the Rapper, the brand
new single Closed Gap. As we are in week four of our ten weeks
of world radio premieres of new singles from our friend Hope the Rapper, this
is Matt Connorton Unleashed and we're live from these studios of WMNH ninety five point
three FM in glorious Manchester, New Hampshire. Also, of course we are
on Facebook this week, so happy to say that with our new cameras and
such and so very very excited. Today is July six, two twenty four.
Jenny is here at the news desk or news table. I am present.
Yes, yes, I don't have your I don't have your music for
some reason, I couldn't find it. I don't know. I will have
to re download it. Jenny has theme music, you know, music we
could hummet. That's about all I remember of it. Yeah, and so
we've got a fun show for you today. We have Jam tomorrow, who
are going to introduce in a moment, and then in the second hour we
have Cura Curtis and in the third hour we have mister Goodbars joining us.
So lots going on, lots of music today, of course, but we'll
go ahead and introduce. Well. Actually these guys have been with us on
the show before, Mike, Mark and Gary and hell Gary, you were
here last night on rob Azevito show. Grantited state of mind. That's something
we should mention too for those who don't know. If you enjoy these musicians
that we have on there's another show here on WMNH that does something similar for
an hour on Fridays from six to seven pm. Rob az Vito Grantite State
of Mind does a fantastic job. He's been doing it for a long time
and he's got the brand new place Pembroke City Limits, which is very cool.
So we should give that a plug. We've been wanting to get Rob
on Wednesday, what's that Wednesday of this coming week week on Thursday, We're
probably gonna both be there, will be there. I'm sure outstanding. So
excited perhaps, Yeah, very good, Yeah, No, it's great work.
So hard to get to this point. I'm just really excited. Yeah,
and it's exciting to see, you know, whenever a new place opens
up that can uh really sort of accommodate the music scene locally, because there's
so much incredible talent around here that that's you know, that's a great thing
to see. Garry's struggling with that Mike a little bit. There we go,
just don't to The trick is not to actually the trick is not to
breathe on it. Actually, the best thing is to not even look directly
at it at Yeah, don't even look at it. It's very fine.
Yeah, pretend it's not there anyway. But yeah, so we have jam
tomorrow here with us live in studio, so that was falling into place one
of the two studio tracks that we're gonna play today. We have another one
that will play at the end of the hour. And I love both of
these guys. Great, great job, thank you very much. Yeah,
absolutely, really really good, really good. Where did you record these?
Those are records at board House Productions and Brookline. He does like Roots of
Creation. He's bad Fish's sound guys. Okay, he's recorded our Fox and
Flamingo stuff too. He's a great dude. Yeah. Yeah. It's an
awesome setup too, because the whole front of his studio as he's what he's
looking at his desk is all G five, it's all digital giant screen.
And then behind him he's got a rack of like twenty or twenty four old
school analog rigs. Yeah, he just knows how to blend, you know,
the solid state with the cutting edge to bring out all the nuances that
really just make everything sound so good. Yeah, yeah, no, it
sounds amazing. Are you, is there a long term plan to do?
Are you gonna just keep releasing singles? Are you going to do an EP
or an album or what's or do you know yet? No? I think
we we finally got in the studio last year, but we haven't been in
the studio since like October, I think of last year. Yeah, so
we really haven't. It's been a while. We need to get back on
that. We have twenty originals to record, no kidding, So I don't
know if we want to try to put out a EP or an LP or
a double album or I guess that kind of depends on how things get paced
and in the next six months or so. Yeah, yeah, you've got
well, how long has this project been around? It hasn't been that long,
right, So Mark and I started pretty much when covid got nasty.
So what was that was that? Four years ago? Twenty nineteen, five
years ago, twenty yeah? Four years yeah, So we started just sitting
six feet apart from each other, yeah, and just doing covers just to
kind of not go crazy with all the madness that was happening in the world.
Yeah, and then we somehow when people started booking gigs again. We've
the gig here and there and started writing some originals. That song that you
just played actually falling into places our first original. It's kind of a COVID
song, but I feel like it's a that's the first one you guys wrote
together. Yeah, oh wow, no kidding. I started with the chorus
instead of the verse. I didn't even know what I was doing. I
noticed that listening to it. It's one of those songs where, yeah,
where the chorus kind of sounds like it might be the verse, and the
verse kind of sounds like the chorus. It reminded me of ooh child that
song is to me, that's like the classic example of that, where you
know it's kind of inverted and it fools you a little bit when you're listening
to it, which I love. I love that, and I was afraid
it was going to kind of fall out once all the COVID madness sort of
receded into the background, But I feel like it it's sort of just about
hard times and changing time, so it's sort of apropos now as much as
it was then. Well, the good news in terms of the song and
it's relevance is the madness has never received only the COVID part as we're a
post pandemic. But the madness itself, I think that's uh well, I
think COVID's with us forever too. But but so is the madness. Yeah,
I it's a permanent passenger in our American I believe so. I believe
so, guys, I'm dying to hear you to play something live. I
really enjoyed this the last time you were on with us, and uh,
of course this is the first time. Well again, Gary, you were
here last night, but but uh as jam tomorrow. This will be the
first time in the new in the new studio. By the way, do
you like the new Uh you like the new digs? I do. It's
very cool. Yeah. Yeah, everything's nice and new and clean and love
it. I love it. Sounds good in here too. Yeah. Yeah,
it's not bad. It's not bad. Better parking better, much better
parking. Yes, yeah, we were, Yeah, we were talking about
that last night because I came in to do uh So Friday Nights from May
two eleven is Retrospectrum Radio with poly C and I'm a co host on that
show, and we were talking about how you know, because the sky just
opened up and it was pouring and how nice it was to be able to
just pull up to the door and park and you know, not have to
park locks away or were at a parking garage and then try not to get
soaked. But uh, yeah, if you guys want to play something for
us, what do you what do you want to what do you want to
play? To start, we got a song called playing the Blues, Living
the Blues. We wrote this pretty recently. I'm not sure where it came
from. It's just thinking about this guy, probably a draft dodger Vietnam era,
and the story just sort of came together. But he did something and
then he decided to run, and uh he never stopped. So this one's
called Living the Blues. All right, wonderful jam tomorrow live in studio.
When it started back in nineteen sixty eight, outside out of Sioux Fall with
a queenslin left me Sula Blue lights were right behind, doing ninety five with
Freedom on Mi My South Dakota seemed far enough away, drove a thousand miles
to the break of day. Barty gets off stolen money in my shoes,

That's why I don't, Ben, I have some fun. Eyes in

well. Don't let it show these things I can't tell. Got nothing but

Ain't that the quit in the quit pro woke? Or if he just

I was gorgeous talking about early No, that was that was excellent.
If you're just joining us, we have jam tomorrow here with us live in
studio this morning, and uh sounding great. I love that. I love
that. You guys are are you guys playing out a lot? Are you
doing a lot of shows? Yeah, we're just this is a gig.
Well for as this arrangement, this is a gig six out of seven in
five or six weeks. So we're doing We're gonna be joining Gary at City
Limits on Thursday night, jumping up for a couple of songs, and then
I think we actually don't have anything in the books for a while. We're
looking to book some stuff talking to a couple of venues we played out before.
But yeah, we came out of just doing We played at wing ITTs
on the fourth of July. We played at the Paki and hooks it.
We played a four hour gig there the week before that. We had a
the week before that show before that. So it's been good. It's been
been a lot of fun and people seem to be really receptive to the new
stuff because we've got three songs that are just a couple of months old.
Yeah, yeah, outstanding, outstanding. Now are you so Gary? Of
course? Uh? You obviously you play solo sometimes, you were on Rob
Show last night, and you also you have Fox and the Flamingos. Yep.
Always amazing. I always I always say that song straight is it Don't
Be a Stranger? Don't Be a Stranger? Yeah, you got a hit
song there, dude. It's finally on Spotify so you can hear outstanding.
And now usually it's the drummers that are in a million different bands. You're
you're pretty busy. Yeah, the basis too. Yeah, yeah, exactly
exactly. Do you have any other projects? Yeah, I mean I've been
working with Cosmic Blossom Collective, which is a cool group there. They went
through some changes and I brought a drummer from a fusion band I kind of
dabble with, and we kind of joined them for a Strange Creek and we're
playing with them at trout Stock and town and stuff. So I went down
recorded with them a few weeks go down at the Cape, so put down
some basslines for four songs. So they have some they have some stuff coming
out too, excellent, excellent. How about you, Mark, what else
have you got going? Nothing? Really? I work almost six hours a
week. Yeah, so you got yeah, you got your hands full well.
And you play at church all the time too, Yeah most Sundays.
Oh okay. I actually played more live rock and stuff there than kid Yeah
a voue Mike, No, this is it. I am. I'm trying
to not over commit myself. Yeah, that's sort of one of my faults.
Yeah, and to over commit. So I'm actually stepping back from other
stuff. But I just stepped off of I was on the board for the
Coalition Against Domestic and Sexual Violence. I just finished my term there and did
not renew my term there. I'm writing very little for New Hampshire magazine now,
just a couple of articles a year at this point. So I'm actually
trying to just be a little more low key and not always have something to
do every day. Wow. Yeah for right now? This is this is
plenty. Say you were being lowkey? Yes, oh okay, well that's
sorry. Is that is that a fourth subject? But I would think being
low key would be very time consuming that comes with that, trying to be
a different places. Well, you guys, actually we should say all everybody
on the Facebook live chat and then I'd love to hear another one. Let's
see we have Aid. I'm sorry, Aid, how do you say that?
I don't know how to say that last name, so I'm not going
to butcher it. Aid. Congratulations on this. Uh oh, this is
spam. We've got a spammer in the chat room trying to sell it something.
Yeah, never never mind, you Aid with your spam now trying to
Actually I'll go ahead and read it. Congratulations on this. Do you know
that podcast is not just recording, but it's about building a strong fan base.
And then there's a a helpful link which I'm not going to uh click,
but thank you, Aid. Take take some notes, Matt. Clearly
this is your first rodeo. Yes, yeah, I know it's been a
while since I've seen a spammer in there, like we have, you know,
the the AI people from Greensboro, North Carolina, but an actual spammer.
I haven't seen it there lately. Andre Dumont, of course from Dead
Harris Andres Amazing says good morning you awesome and amazing people. Thank you.
Andre B. Pinarda big supporter of the show says love this song. Yeah,
me too, absolutely. Eric uh In Palamini, did I say it
correctly? From Temple Mountain says says I could listen to them all day.
Yes, thanks Eric, and we have actually in the second hour, Cura
Curtis, who I believe was a referral from Temple correct. Yes, she's
gonna be coming in. Melanie Liberty of course from the Great State of Vermont,
says nice, nice beard, mister yellow shirt. Yeah, yeah,
she likes your beard. Melanie of course, quite the aficionado of beards,
so totally judging. Yeah, yeah, yeah, not too many good ginger
beards out there. Yeah, that's a good ginger beard. Yes, with
a good ginger right right. I would not put you in the darkened Stormy
Jay fed of course also in the Facebook live chat and says, good morning
everyone. Let's see I just want to make sure we don't miss anybody in
here. Oh and Bruce from Legion of Solace, Bruce, I was wearing
your shirt the other day, your Legion of Solid shirt, says good good
morning friends, Hope Paul as well, now what I'm wearing. Oh yeah,
you've got the shirt? Yes, there you go Jenny's uh, Jenny's
got it. No, Bruce was fine. Yeah, when Bruce was on
the show, he was kind enough to bring us shirt said, they dottimes
people include me. That's right, That's right they do. Legion of Solace
is great. They do a lot for the music scene. When I when
I first heard the name Legion of Solace, I assumed it was a band,
but no, it's actually a really good, uh promotional organization. And
Joey Painter, who was on the show not too long ago, says,
what up? You know it's you and then multiple piece. Yeah, that
was great too. Loved having Joey Painter on with us. Bruce says,
greatly appreciate the support. Well, we appreciate you, Bruce. All right,
I'm dying to hear another song. What do you guys? What are
you guys gonna play next? We got another, a new ish one.
We actually we wrote this. Yeah, normally, normally we we don't write
songs together. Normally, I'll take music that one of these guys has come
up with, or if we're rehearsing, I'll just put my phone on record
when I go, you know, grab a beer or something, and some
magical happen, and then I kind of take that away to my lair and
I put lyrics to it. Because my creative process, I'm usually pretty selfish
with it. But this was actually one that Mark and I were sitting out
on the porch in the rain and we wrote this together, smoking cigars and
probably drinking some whisky. So this is actually called things in the Rain,
all right, very good things in the rain, and the band is Jam
Tomorrow. They are here with us live in studio. He's sings in the
rain when he's all alone. You should be so Heardstone just singing to the
bird out on the street rolling by with their silent feet. He sings in
the rings like everybody, he's got pain bots, he sings nonetheless, best
way to be free from stress. He sings in the rings like everybody he's
got pain bot. He sings none the less, best way to be free
from stretch. Yeah, she sings in the rain from behind her window.
Pain hasn't left this please, since the world sped up its pain. Just
sing to reflection. Nurse gives her to injection life ros By no connection.
She sings in the rain. Nobody there, so why complained? But she
sings anyway, best way to pass the day? She sings in the rain.
Nobody there, so why complain a bunch of things? Anyway? Best
way to pass the day? You do? Do you do? Dude?
She sneaks out up her bed room, set temporary escape from this hell.
He means her outside, remembering how the hell worl used to be so wide.
They sing in the rain, she and he. That's why they remain.
Didn't used to fine this kind of piece of my just singing to the
dog. Silly souls lost themselves in the park, they in their roles,
happy dress, in the coats they stole up. They sing in the rains
much to though worlds just changed, but they sing all the same. Only
wait to please this game. They sing in the red much to the world
just sting, but they sing all sing only wait to play this game,
To play this game, to play this game, play this game. Well
done, gentlemen, well done. Thank you. Jam tomorrow live in studio
with us today. Of course we have Mike, Mark and Gary from the
band a jam Tomorrow and another great song and if you're just joining us,
by the way, at the top of the show. One of the tracks
we played was the New single from These Guys falling into Place. So if
you miss it, of course, you know it'll be up in the archive
when the podcast is posted later. I recommend definitely checking it out. And
we're gonna be playing a second studio track from these Guys at the top of
the hour at the end of the segment, which I'm really looking forward to
sharing with everyone as well. So so really really good. And now you
were saying earlier you've got like twenty originals in this band, is that?
Yeah, at least we have some that we've actually forgot we have and like,
oh, we haven't played this one in a couple of years, nodding
this off and play it again. Yeah, yeah, No, that's that's
great. That's great. Do you do any covers when you play live or
is it strictly originals or yeah, we we probably got one hundred and twenty
five or one hundred and fifty covers in our catalog. Oh my god.
Really, we switch it up as often as we can do. We do
a lot of originals, so we usually do thirty thirty five percent of our
total set list will be original peppered in. Yeah, we usually play fifteen
or twenty of them. Yeah, yeah, and we like like the fact
that the venues that we play at don't tell us not to play, right,
Yeah, we kind of avoid those gigs. Well, I feel like,
you know, with the way that you asked play, you know,
it probably opens up a lot of opportunities as far as it seems like there's
a lot of different types of venues where you can play with a project like
this, especially like non drum friendly venues, right right, yeah, yeah,
exactly. Oh that we did have a cojone player, Mike Freeman,
sat in with us last weekend at the pack He's seventh anniversary, and that
was awesome. I just sent him a set list and some rough recordings of
roughs of all of our originals, you know, just done on an iPhone,
right, just so we have something that we can kind of reference in
case we forget how we did it a year later. Right, And he
killed it. He familiarized himself and laid back until you know, into the
first verse and the chorus kicked in. They kind of found out where you
could fit in on the track, and I think we got a lot more
engagement by virtue of that. So we'll probably have him back on some other
sets. In the future. Well that's cool too, to have something where
you can have someone sit in or not sit in, and you know you
have some flexibility there. Actually now and I think of it, I've forgot
about this, but we kind of did that with Chemical Distance totally. Yeah,
because we had a drummer toward the end. Yeah, Mark Brennan.
Yeah, yeah, he'p in touch with him. I see him on social
media every once in a while. I think he still works at Stony Field
with Desa Kinsel but I'm not sure. Yeah, I know he's in I
see him posting that he's doing other musical stuff. But okay, I not
had a chance to catch him yet. Yeah, great guy and super talented.
I mean those few shows that he did play with us, I thought,
oh yeah, and then well two of the cuts on the album are
so For those of you that don't know, Matt and I were in a
band about fifteen years ago called Chemical Distance with the amazing Auto Kinseler, and
uh yeah, he did five drums on a couple of those. You can
you can actually find that on most platforms. Still the Pain in the Progress
Chemical Distance. Every once in a while. I still play Sign of the
Times on the show. Nice. Yeah, yeah, we gotta we gotta
turn that over so we can do that with this project. That would be
a lot of fun. You should, you absolutely should. Twenty four bars
a heat Yeah, there you go, there you go. Well, you
guys want to play you want to play one more live? Sure? This
is I think this is probably my favorite of our originals. I think probably
Mark two, definitely in the top three. I I kind of channeled this
song. I don't know who this person is. I can I can see
them, I can see where they are. It's not me, but I
very much came through me. I don't even feel like I wrote this song.
I feel like the song has sort of flowed into me from the universe.
I know that sounds kind of hokey, not to Edgar Casey for anybody
out there, but but I really can't. I don't feel like I can
take responsibility for this song, even though it flowed through my hand. Interesting.
This one's called motor Lodge all right, jam tomorrow alive in studio Sometime
sad thing you don't even here. Sometimes I think I don't want you to
hear he Sometimes I think I'm missing your time. But that's the hump time.
I don't miss you so much. Sometimes I find I wish for your
smile. That's sometimes I stand in the rain wayit in a while after.
Sometimes I want to know where you went. That's the hum time I questioned
my intent. It comes to questions every single time, never answers, never
anything she most sublime, And it comes question what do us come you?
What do you beleive? Want? Are you going through? Go in through?
Oftentimes I don't remember the moment and that past. Oftentimes I can't distinguish
the first from the line. Often times I feel I've walked in these foods,
steps be born, and often times I see my handprints on the hunchel.
Ofttimes I find I reach for your hands, but then of times it
disappears again hand. Often times I want to what have been to we?
Oftentimes I question what mahade me? It jumps to questions every single time,
never answers, never anything he busted. Time it comes to questions, do
you ask of you? What do you believe? What are you thinking?
It is true? Thinking it is true? Most times I fear I've lost
myself in the past. Most times I fear I've let the wrong moment laugh
both times it is, it's beginning the me right all and most times I
can't predict my fall. Mooth times, I don't know what whatever wrong.
In most times I can't believe I'm siner. Most times I don't know how
it spelled any and most time sid question once round the bends, round the
bend. It costs question every single time, never answer, Never anything that
most sublime. It cost questions? But did you ask of you until you
believe one of you gone? You done? You don't, you don't,
you don't, you don't. Oh my god, is so good. That
was awesome. That is so good. I think did you guys play that
the last time that you were here? We might have. I tried to
pull up the set list from the last time we were here, but I'm
not sure. Yeah, it's just because it seemed familiar. I seem to
remember. I seem to remember you playing it before and well it is,
yeah, and I seem to recall having the same reaction like, Wow,
what an incredible song. Thank you. That'll probably be the next the next
song that we drop. We've got it recording, we just got to get
it mixed out. Yeah, And I can see why, you know,
you might think you sort of channeled it or however you put it. You
know, it's it's it's otherworldly. It's so good. I can see this
guy sitting on a bed in a motor lodge making some really difficult decisions about
his life. Interestingly, that's why we call it motor lodge. Yeah,
yeah, yeah, no, that is really good if you are just joining
us. Jam Tomorrow is here with us. By the way, our friend
Bruce from Legion of Solace was asking do you guys play all over in New
England or do you stick to New Hampshire. We're open a conversation about anything.
Yeah, for sure. Yeah you can. You can find me on
you can tag us on the Facebook post and the Jam Tomorrow page, or
I can drop a comment in afterwards and shoot you my email address. You
can you just reach me at m HP second Windwater dot com. Yeah,
he's someone who would be really good to connect. You love to talk,
definitely, definitely. Where else should people go online to keep up with everything
that you guys are doing? Gary, what's your website? My website is
just d H g U R S dot com. It's my old like Instagram
name from a mountain Biker. Yeah, but sixth Letter website was a good
thing. That has all my different projects and there's Jam Tomorrow clips and stuff
on there and all our information and you can contact me through there too if
that's easier. We also have a YouTube channel. We've got a couple of
videos up there, but working on populating some more, and you can find
us on Facebook at Jam Tomorrow Dash the band to be confused with Jam Tomorrow
the Lunchbox or Jam Tomorrow the Sleeping Bag, Jam Tomorrow the Flamethrower. The
kids love that one. Yes, yes, babe, Oh tell us again
too. We talked about it last time. But where the name comes from,
so it's a it's a Lewis Carroll reference from through the Looking Glass.
It's sort of a weird word play on the Latin four I am. But
it became in political parlance in the late eighteen hundreds early nineteen hundreds. It
became sort of a mocking statement about unfulfilled political promises. But it also came
down to the fact that when we first started the project, we had a
hard time schedule and rehearsal. So it's like, oh can we jam today,
and now we can jam tomorrow. Though the reference from through the Looking
Glass is actually the Red Queen sitting with Alice, and Alice asks they're having
tea, and Alice asked if they can if you got some jam, and
the Queen says, jam tomorrow, Jam yesterday, but never jam today.
And we make a lot of Lewis Carroll references in our songs. Actually that
feel like the end of the Red Queen's Race from falling into place, the
Red Queen had to run as fast as you possibly could just stay in one
place. Do you think you might actually remember a song about the same topic
from back in Chemical Distances Red Queen's Race. So I tell everybody that was
our hit. That was our hit. Yeah, so yeah, I definitely
recycle that concept. It's a I think it's a potent metaphor for life.
A lot of the time, just having to run as fast as you can
to not get anywhere. Yeah, yeah, absolutely. There was a lot
of when we wereverse getting together, the phone calls back with you and you
want to jam tomorrow. So I think saying that enough, you know what?
Oh yeah, yeah, no doubt, no doubt. Well, guys,
this has been wonderful. I really I love what you're doing. I
love the project. Like I said, I love these new studio tracks.
I love hearing you live just really great anything this weekend? Do you play
anywhere this weekend or next weekend? Our listeners should know about city limits in
Pembroke nine six to nine, there'll be us. There'll be a bunch of
different local New Hampshire musicians coming by playing a few songs. So it'll it's
kind of I call it Gary's musical gathering. So it's a bunch of different
my friends from different bands and just music friends I have are gonna come by
play a couple of songs outstanding, So yeah, it should be fun.
Outstanding and say hi to Rob's new spot. Yeah yeah, congratulations to Rob
as a Vito on that. That's amazing. Thank you so much for having
us. Oh yes, oh absolutely, thank you guys. This has been
this has been wonderful. So we'll finish off with this studio track, beautiful
Loser. What should we know about this? So Mark and I went to
see Chris Tila, mandolinist for Nickel Creek. Okay, Fulbright Scholar Award winner,
just an amazing singer, songwriter, musician, performer, all around super
impressive guy. Walked up. He had two mics, one for his instrument
and one for him, and that was the whole thing. He didn't change
this from his whole set. Yeah, it was a great show. I'd
never heard of him, but then I realized I knew him from Goat Rodeo
and he plays with that crew Yo yo maa Edgar Meyer, and so I
actually did know some of his material. But he did a couple of Leonard
Cohen songs and a lot of bluegrass as well, and somehow that just turned
into me deciding to do a tribute to Leonard Cohen in bluegrass style. Okay,
so that's the cut. Gary's actually playing a really cool seven foot tall
double bass. Recorded this at the same Boardhouse studios. Pete is amazing and
he made us sound really good. So yeah, so it's a bluegrass song,
sort of a departure for us. Yeah yeah, all right, very
good jam tomorrow. Thank you guys again so much. And here it is.
This track is called Beautiful Loser, a b hold in the fabric of
space and time. Like I needed a dollar and I had a dime.
A ben to both ends of the missis Hippi from the Minnesota Highlands to the
New Orleans Ocean, she grips me. And I don't know what happened to
me. Tweet feeling live, living free, keep walking towards where I think
I might be. God is alive and magic is afoot. Some things just
won't stay aware that, but reinvention tainted by previous intention won't save us from
those things We just can't mention. And I don't know what happened to me.
Dream feel alive and live and free, Keep walking towards where I think
I might be. Yeah to the bridge, And I don't know what happened
to me. Dream feeling live, living free, keep walking to hoods where
I think I might be. Every time we pull back the curtain, we'd
find another curtain. But my mind is lee read and my back is hurting.
The only thing I've ever known for the hurcheon is behind every curtain,
there's another curtain and another cursion. And I don't know what happened to me.
Dream feeling alive and live and free. Keep walking to woods where I
think I might be. And I don't know what happened to me. Tweam
feeling life and live and free, keep walking to hoard where I think I
might be and I I don't know what happened to me tween feeling live and
live and free, keep walking too, where I think I might be,
Where I think I might be. Memories of golden days don't tarnish with age.
We reinvent them every time they take the stage, remembering as the biting
through the everyday waves, pretending that we're heading for the golden tables. Six
am and I hear the alarm. I have no intention to mention. Just
keep me from arms another day. Pay for pounding for street early hour.
Hit the shower, puts her shoes on my feet, him repeat on the
M three as I merged just a million other cars of me at two place,
again and again. He's a thinker. Hit the flicker on the offer
been Main Street, looking under head down, wondering how they held it.
I am here in this town. Where is the bridge to yesterday? I'm
looking for tomorrow in a yesterday wave. The memories of golden days don't tarnish
with things. We reinvent them every time they take the stage, remembering as
we're fighting through the everyday ways, pretending that we're heading for the golden days.
On the car, drop a corder in two my last few moments of
freedom. Moly append a post the clock, because what else can I do?
Happen, days, happen lifetime, not to make it improval. H
pumping out as a keeping creeps around the corner of another day. I just
can't keep The people I meet seem to see through me, only thinking of
the places they would run with me. It's like they run the Red Queen's
Race, Baster and Maaster just to stay in one place. I drive home
Land it's over, but then although they have to do it all over again.
Memories of golden days are tarnish with age. We reinvent them every time
they take the stage, pretending that we're heading for the golden days. Six
am, man I hear the alarm. Do not pay some oya nuts all
right for little words? Hope your willing. I mentioned to go to extra
mile slow privacies against the sitting then and now speaking the pripons up. Been
working on my punts and night what I'm until the morning by the icons.
My mom raises Soosha with a posher trying to cross the line like we playing
Rover show. Sof on back coming for number one with a trip that'll probably
leave your finding numb and the problems going up like the price of gas.
We're just looking for some change. What's the price of that? Right?
Fourth quarter? Good thing that are like the past? Here the bell and
I check them in. My ninety half has the second pass, hoping that
I make it back walking in hit him past that to show the city dash
trying and we're filling your shoulders against who really rapped? Told the world give
me space that I closed the gap. Y'all think I'm playing scrimming rovers game
time. I'm ready sat They try to hang from bus and told me to
break a back poople. Really press five when you hawk the l breath when
you walking on the line. Gotta watch a step and every breath through the
pain. See the game how they tell me watch the thrown when the seat
was staying down. Need a bang, won it down? Not too fast.
I found myself beside that moment when the time passed. They left me
still like I better win my wine glass. This type of vision, you
gonna probably need it. I'm master, I know what's coming. We get
caught up in the top left and send the ball when we all reach the
comcasts. Now ready, you're better than it has ever been. Benjamin's in
depth presidents in my residence, the relevance, hoping that the Reverend flow sick.
Really this is my men of sin, Heaven said, even though that
I never been, keep throwing, even though that I'll never run, keep
showing, because I know that they'll never spends. Lord die for my sins.
But I'm working on him, treating all my problems like the leasing on
him. Next thing is the win. Now the money firing, bring no
cold is the winner. But I'm springing on him. We adapt like a
winner when it comes to proms. Stop the SUP spots the SUP sposh the
SUP. But stop the SUP spot to suspect, to sustat to sat spot,
