Matt Connarton Unleashed: Kenny Truhn (3-22-25)

0:00 Speaker 1: Oh that is cool. That is brand new from Kenny Truon,

4:32 Speaker 1: who is here with us and we're going to speak

4:35 Speaker 1: with him in just a moment. Jenny is here at

4:38 Speaker 1: the news desk for the news table. I'm sorry we

4:41 Speaker 1: have a news table. I I I'm so used to

4:42 Speaker 1: saying that.

4:44 Speaker 2: You have to.

4:45 Speaker 1: Well, we were we were talking about time travel in

4:48 Speaker 1: a in a certain sense, because can we do that yet,

4:50 Speaker 1: Well we'll we'll explain things we need to do. Yes, yes, uh.

4:57 Speaker 3: We get that.

4:57 Speaker 1: Let me get that mic up there, Jenny True here

5:00 Speaker 1: is I. Well, you know who did not believe in time?

5:05 Speaker 1: Was Prince I only know that from a Larry King interview.

5:09 Speaker 1: Oh no, I'm sorry. It was Kurt Loader. Remember Kurt

5:10 Speaker 1: Loader from the MTV News. Yeah, yeah, yeah, and he

5:13 Speaker 1: uh he asked Prince. Uh well, Prince said he didn't

5:15 Speaker 1: believe in time and Kurt Loader was like, so what

5:18 Speaker 1: do you use? And uh, Prince said, I believe in

5:21 Speaker 1: the truth. And that was kind of the end of

5:23 Speaker 1: the interview.

5:24 Speaker 2: I love that.

5:26 Speaker 3: Was that the same.

5:27 Speaker 1: Interview where he wanted he said he wanted to create

5:30 Speaker 1: Princet gram pro. No, this this would have been before

5:35 Speaker 1: because Instagram was not around when Kurt Loder was still

5:39 Speaker 1: interviewing people on MTV.

5:41 Speaker 2: Yeah.

5:41 Speaker 1: Yeah, different, very very different era, very different era. But yeah,

5:44 Speaker 1: we're very happy to have Kenny truon here. It's been

5:46 Speaker 1: a while. Yeah, we have since we've been at this

5:50 Speaker 1: location here. We did have a gentleman named Kenneth Wood here,

5:54 Speaker 1: but but we have not had Kenny truon here at

5:58 Speaker 1: the former the Warmer bus station. Yeah. So it's great

6:01 Speaker 1: to see you.

6:02 Speaker 2: Yeah, it's awesome, Black guys. I love hanging with you guys.

6:04 Speaker 1: Absolutely tell us about that track we just heard.

6:07 Speaker 4: Yeah, that track I was trying to explain to you.

6:11 Speaker 4: It was labeled playing with myself.

6:13 Speaker 2: Now.

6:13 Speaker 4: That sounds a little weird, but this is what I

6:15 Speaker 4: labeled it as I was doing it. But it's called

6:19 Speaker 4: recording music with my past self from the future in

6:23 Speaker 4: the present now.

6:24 Speaker 2: Yes, I know it's a.

6:26 Speaker 1: Very long title and it almost sounds like part of

6:29 Speaker 1: it should be in parentheses or you know, it's it's

6:32 Speaker 1: a long title.

6:33 Speaker 4: Yeah, it is, but it makes sense to me because

6:36 Speaker 4: I'm constantly when I build a track, I start, especially

6:40 Speaker 4: with that song that you just heard, I started with

6:43 Speaker 4: the drums, so I go into it not knowing what

6:45 Speaker 4: I'm gonna do, I have a tempo to work with

6:48 Speaker 4: and I just go yeah, So it's kind of free

6:51 Speaker 4: form improv whatever.

6:54 Speaker 1: Yeah.

6:55 Speaker 4: So then by the time I recorded the next instrument, bass,

7:00 Speaker 4: it was already a month after I did the drums. Yeah,

7:04 Speaker 4: And at this point I don't really remember what I did,

7:07 Speaker 4: but I'm jamming with myself when I'm recording the bass.

7:11 Speaker 2: Makes sense, so that is improv as well.

7:14 Speaker 4: And then the next step was guitar, and then I

7:18 Speaker 4: did the guitar a month later after that, so I'm

7:22 Speaker 4: constantly playing with myself a different.

7:24 Speaker 2: Phases of I don't know throughout what do we call

7:30 Speaker 2: time if.

7:30 Speaker 1: That's I guess truth throughout if we accept time as a.

7:36 Speaker 4: Time is Yeah, So basically it's a mouthful, but that's

7:42 Speaker 4: that's the ideology behind that.

7:45 Speaker 1: If you worked that way before, or was this track

7:47 Speaker 1: your first time doing.

7:48 Speaker 4: It that way, I think I've kind of figured out

7:52 Speaker 4: my workflow with starting with drums first. I'm a drummer

7:57 Speaker 4: as well, but I like to literally played the drums

8:02 Speaker 4: versus and then jams and myself, and that became a

8:04 Speaker 4: thing that I figured out, you know, after a while

8:07 Speaker 4: producing music that was just you know, I used to

8:10 Speaker 4: come up with the ideas first and the guitar singing

8:12 Speaker 4: or whatever, but then I started working backwards.

8:15 Speaker 2: I'm like, I.

8:15 Speaker 4: Want to start with the beat. What's driving me? Is

8:21 Speaker 4: it dis tempo?

8:22 Speaker 2: Is it that? You know what I mean?

8:23 Speaker 4: That's the most important thing that I think now when

8:26 Speaker 4: I create music is where I start from. Okay, so

8:29 Speaker 4: I work backwards. Okay, okay for me?

8:31 Speaker 2: Are the drums live on that or are they drums

8:33 Speaker 2: are live? Yeah? Okay, that's me playing them actual drums. Yeah.

8:37 Speaker 4: I recorded them in New York at rich Roy Studios

8:43 Speaker 4: Mike Bercillo and uh so, then I recorded the bass

8:48 Speaker 4: in New Hampshire. Okay, So it's like where am I Like,

8:51 Speaker 4: I'm different points of time meeting each other in the

8:55 Speaker 4: This is why it's like whatever, if you're into that

8:59 Speaker 4: kind of thing, it's it's kind of fun.

9:00 Speaker 1: You're playing with yourself in different times but also different

9:03 Speaker 1: geographical location.

9:05 Speaker 4: And I'm not really writing anything. I'm just kind of

9:07 Speaker 4: like going with whatever was put before me. Yeah, you

9:10 Speaker 4: know what I mean, I'm just following myself. Yeah, and

9:13 Speaker 4: I might get lost, but it's kind of making sense.

9:15 Speaker 2: It makes it.

9:16 Speaker 4: But you know right right, it's fun Like I don't know,

9:19 Speaker 4: I'm just experimenting with different yeah ideas all the time.

9:24 Speaker 1: No, I did it. The reason I was particularly curious

9:27 Speaker 1: about the drums is, you know, there was a time

9:31 Speaker 1: where you could you could program drums, but they wouldn't

9:34 Speaker 1: sound realistic, yeah, or like like some of the early

9:36 Speaker 1: drum machines for example, as I'm sure you know, you

9:40 Speaker 1: could get a really good, convincing snare, of course, but

9:43 Speaker 1: the toms would sound terrible, you know what I mean?

9:45 Speaker 1: This is an example. But now the drum sounds that

9:48 Speaker 1: you can get with program drums or I mean, my

9:50 Speaker 1: jaw was on the floor when Nathan Hill told us

9:52 Speaker 1: in the first hour, like that track Breaking Waves, those

9:54 Speaker 1: you know, those aren't live acoustic drums. I was like, what,

9:59 Speaker 1: you know, it's really amazing. So but but you but

10:02 Speaker 1: so you actually play the drums and guitar. Yeah, you play,

10:06 Speaker 1: and you play keyboard too, right I assume.

10:08 Speaker 4: I dabble, Yeah, I I have, you know, some skills

10:12 Speaker 4: with that, but I'm not like a piano player.

10:14 Speaker 1: I know, I know we talked about it before, but

10:16 Speaker 1: it was at least a couple of years ago. Now

10:18 Speaker 1: what was your first instrument?

10:19 Speaker 2: Bass?

10:20 Speaker 1: You started on bass, okay, bassis, and then guitar probably or.

10:25 Speaker 2: Yeah, guitar definitely followed after that.

10:27 Speaker 4: It's like once you get the first root notes of

10:30 Speaker 4: the bass that you start doing the chords.

10:31 Speaker 2: It's like graduating next yeah, yeah, level of uh, let's

10:36 Speaker 2: learn to how to play instruments.

10:38 Speaker 1: Yeah for me. For me, it was the opposite because

10:40 Speaker 1: I started out on guitar when I was a kid.

10:42 Speaker 1: I took guitar lessons, but I was very undisciplined. I

10:46 Speaker 1: hate this about myself, but I was one of those

10:48 Speaker 1: I'm a very motivated person as an adult, but growing up,

10:52 Speaker 1: I was one of those lazy kids who if I

10:53 Speaker 1: wasn't good at something right away, I'd get bored and frustrated.

10:56 Speaker 1: And then in high school I picked up a bass

10:58 Speaker 1: and and I was I know BASSA when I say this,

11:01 Speaker 1: but I have to speak my truth. I picked up

11:03 Speaker 1: a bass in high school and I was like, oh,

11:05 Speaker 1: two less strings and I don't have to know any chords.

11:07 Speaker 1: I think I found my instrument. Yeah, it turned out

11:09 Speaker 1: I did, because I you know, I ended up playing

11:11 Speaker 1: in a bunch of bands, and you know, I'm not

11:12 Speaker 1: a bad bass player. But that's awesome, But that was

11:14 Speaker 1: kind of but that was kind of my path. And

11:17 Speaker 1: then did drums come? So did drums come much later

11:19 Speaker 1: to you? Because I feel like too most musicians I

11:21 Speaker 1: meet who play several instruments, including drums, it's like drums

11:25 Speaker 1: ends up being kind of the last thing they learn.

11:28 Speaker 1: Is that?

11:28 Speaker 2: Is that the case with you or I guess I

11:31 Speaker 2: was like a fake drummer for a while.

11:33 Speaker 4: Yeah, in the sense of my older brother's band would

11:38 Speaker 4: practice in the basement and I lived in the basement

11:41 Speaker 4: as well. Yeah, there was a drum set down there.

11:44 Speaker 4: Oh and that's convenient, so.

11:47 Speaker 2: Like I would hash it out. Yeah, yeah, you know

11:50 Speaker 2: what I mean.

11:50 Speaker 4: But I do have feel, and I knew I had feel,

11:53 Speaker 4: and I picked it up like pretty much.

11:55 Speaker 2: I just taught myself it.

11:56 Speaker 1: Yeah.

11:57 Speaker 4: And then when I was it's funny because you were

11:59 Speaker 4: saying you took it are lessons. I was a music

12:01 Speaker 4: teacher and I had students like you, Oh yeah, yeah,

12:06 Speaker 4: who just went you know. But what we did, what

12:09 Speaker 4: I found that they were losing interest. We would what

12:12 Speaker 4: was cool when I had lessons? I had a drum

12:14 Speaker 4: set in my room. Yeah, lessons, so we would I

12:17 Speaker 4: would just be like, all right, you don't want to

12:19 Speaker 4: look at this paper, play these notes?

12:21 Speaker 2: All right? What are you going to do with this beat? Bro?

12:24 Speaker 4: And then he would be like I don't know, and

12:25 Speaker 4: like all of a sudden, they're playing and they're like, oh,

12:29 Speaker 4: I'm just foul.

12:30 Speaker 2: You know what I mean?

12:31 Speaker 4: You gotta grab them, like, if you're losing attention, maybe

12:36 Speaker 4: figure out a way to get them more interested.

12:39 Speaker 2: Yeah.

12:39 Speaker 1: I wish someone had done that with me. I think

12:42 Speaker 1: with me they were more like.

12:44 Speaker 4: Because you got it, probably got a guitar guy and

12:46 Speaker 4: guitar and I'm just like, hey, we can do a

12:49 Speaker 4: bunch of things.

12:50 Speaker 2: How am I going to get you to play right?

12:52 Speaker 1: Right?

12:52 Speaker 5: Yeah?

12:52 Speaker 2: How am I gonna get you to come back and

12:54 Speaker 2: want to learn? Yeah? I want to grow with that. Yeah.

12:57 Speaker 1: I had instructors who I think were more uh, I

13:00 Speaker 1: don't know if apathetic is the word, but you know

13:03 Speaker 1: they weren't that invested in me.

13:05 Speaker 2: I know, I guess not Hey, but you turned out

13:08 Speaker 2: all right?

13:09 Speaker 1: I know I turned out all right, I guess, but

13:12 Speaker 1: you know I ended up ended up being an okay

13:14 Speaker 1: bass player.

13:16 Speaker 2: That's awesome win win in my book, No not playing.

13:20 Speaker 1: But I always I've always admired people who can do

13:22 Speaker 1: like what you do where you you you're doing all

13:25 Speaker 1: of this, You're you're creating all of this and on

13:28 Speaker 1: your on your more sort of mainstream you know, not

13:33 Speaker 1: not instrumentals, but some of the music that you've released.

13:37 Speaker 1: Are you doing everything on those as well?

13:39 Speaker 4: Like yeah, yeah, usually, but I do all the foundation work,

13:44 Speaker 4: like I produce it, I record it, I engineer and

13:47 Speaker 4: mix it whatever. But I also bring in people to

13:50 Speaker 4: play on things to add what you know, I have

13:53 Speaker 4: great musician friends that I rely on, yeah, that play

13:56 Speaker 4: with me, you know, for years and have amazing connections

14:02 Speaker 4: with that. And I keep it in the house. I

14:03 Speaker 4: keep everything in house, and I keep it's all self sufficient.

14:08 Speaker 4: I could do whatever I want and I like it,

14:10 Speaker 4: and I just that's that's all it matters to me.

14:12 Speaker 1: Yeah, you know what I mean, which is nice, right

14:14 Speaker 1: because I too. I remember too we talked about before

14:16 Speaker 1: your history in a band and how that turned out

14:20 Speaker 1: and everything and to be able to do everything yourself,

14:22 Speaker 1: if I remember correctly from a previous conversation. Wasn't that

14:26 Speaker 1: a big motivation for you in terms of being able

14:28 Speaker 1: to get to a point where you could do everything yourself.

14:30 Speaker 1: Was your previous experience with a band.

14:32 Speaker 4: Always Yeah, it's just like when you deal with other

14:34 Speaker 4: people and the mishaps that happen, and so you just

14:38 Speaker 4: want to take control of your thing, ye like, yeah,

14:42 Speaker 4: cut everyone out, all the middle men, you know what

14:45 Speaker 4: I mean. And I just took the long route, and

14:49 Speaker 4: I just I would rather that. I still would to

14:52 Speaker 4: this day, Like I mean, it's just all about making

14:57 Speaker 4: making the art that means you know something to you like, yeah,

15:01 Speaker 4: that's all it.

15:02 Speaker 1: Matters, exactly exactly we had talked about off air. So

15:09 Speaker 1: for those of you watching online, of course you can see.

15:11 Speaker 1: But for those listening, Kenny does have his guitar with him. Now,

15:16 Speaker 1: there's a particular song you have that Jenny loves and

15:20 Speaker 1: she plays it all the time. I hear it all

15:22 Speaker 1: the time at home. A song that you release, it

15:24 Speaker 1: has a unfortunately, in the course, it has a bad word,

15:27 Speaker 1: so we can't play it. We can't play it on

15:29 Speaker 1: the air, the studio track as it was, as it will,

15:33 Speaker 1: I guess I can say it. Don't f this thing up,

15:36 Speaker 1: you know. And usually if I really want to play

15:38 Speaker 1: something on the show, I'll make a radio edit of

15:40 Speaker 1: it where I just take where the where the word

15:42 Speaker 1: is that's a problem, and I do I call it

15:44 Speaker 1: a poor man's radio edit. I just reverse it. But

15:47 Speaker 1: I never attempted to do that with that song because

15:51 Speaker 1: I felt like with that song it would have actually

15:54 Speaker 1: ruined it. You know, like if somebody has a song

15:56 Speaker 1: with one you know s word, you know, you just

15:59 Speaker 1: you just reverse it in it becomes ish, you know.

16:01 Speaker 1: But I felt I felt it would ruin the song.

16:04 Speaker 1: But we were talking off air, you said you could

16:07 Speaker 1: replace that word and maybe play that live. Yeah, a

16:10 Speaker 1: self edited version of it, which I would love to hear.

16:13 Speaker 1: I think the audience would love and I know and

16:15 Speaker 1: I know Jenny would love to hear it because she absolutely.

16:17 Speaker 4: Loves I gotta you know, if Jen's listened to that,

16:20 Speaker 4: I got not many people are, so I gotta you know,

16:24 Speaker 4: I gotta give credit. No, it's it's I gotta play

16:29 Speaker 4: it for you know what I mean, Like it is

16:30 Speaker 4: a great song.

16:31 Speaker 1: Yeah, so so got.

16:36 Speaker 2: To change the word.

16:36 Speaker 4: Though We're not going to use the subject a different

16:40 Speaker 4: word like broccoli or anything. We're gonna write so many

16:43 Speaker 4: syllables there to find the right So I think I

16:47 Speaker 4: think we came.

16:47 Speaker 2: Up with one.

16:48 Speaker 1: Yes, yes, I think we we came up with the

16:50 Speaker 1: ideal word and uh yeah, if if you're if you're

16:54 Speaker 1: willing to give it a go, and you know, we

16:55 Speaker 1: are on an eight second delay, so if the worst

16:57 Speaker 1: happens and you forget, I can catch it.

16:59 Speaker 2: But that's cool. I won't.

17:01 Speaker 1: But I don't think. Yeah, you're you're a pro. I'm

17:03 Speaker 1: very fresher. I don't think he'll have a I don't

17:05 Speaker 1: think you'll have an issue. So yeah, if you're open

17:08 Speaker 1: to if you're open to playing that, we'd love to

17:10 Speaker 1: hear it.

17:10 Speaker 2: Ye. Yeah, if you want me to do it right now,

17:12 Speaker 2: that would be great. Yeah.

17:13 Speaker 1: Yeah, we talked it up. So if you are just

17:15 Speaker 1: joining us, Kenny Troon is here with us, live in studio,

17:19 Speaker 1: and he's going to play something for us.

21:21 Speaker 4: it in practices. Like It's funny because we the least

21:24 Speaker 4: show I did, we practiced it like the show.

21:27 Speaker 2: We didn't play it.

21:28 Speaker 4: That's always like, you know, I have a list on

21:32 Speaker 4: a napkin maybe the day and we're like, but never

21:35 Speaker 4: got to play it.

21:54 Speaker 3: You can.

21:56 Speaker 1: Yeah, absolutely. Kenny Truon is here with us. Should we

21:59 Speaker 1: talk about the new You also sent us another studio

22:03 Speaker 1: track and I did, and this is going to be

22:04 Speaker 1: a world premiere, correct.

22:06 Speaker 2: World world premiere. Yeah, I don't think I've.

22:09 Speaker 4: I kind of like I mixed it. The new record

22:12 Speaker 4: I've been working on for about a little over a year,

22:15 Speaker 4: not like every day on it, but like I've had

22:19 Speaker 4: maybe it was it January twenty twenty three or January

22:23 Speaker 4: twenty twenty four. I started it okay, and it's about done,

22:28 Speaker 4: I guess because I mixed it, and on the way

22:31 Speaker 4: here I listened to it and I was like, oh, wow,

22:33 Speaker 4: I think it's there. Yeah, because sometimes when i'm mixing it,

22:37 Speaker 4: I'm over and over. I'm hearing it and I'm like

26:56 Speaker 4: it just it just feels different. I made a lot

27:01 Speaker 4: of the songs and uh was it one weekend by myself,

27:06 Speaker 4: like the structure of them. And then my boy Chris

27:10 Speaker 4: Pachanka came.

27:11 Speaker 2: Up and we tracked his guitars okay.

27:15 Speaker 4: And then my boy Evan came up and we tracked

27:19 Speaker 4: his bass at different times like all because you know,

27:23 Speaker 4: it's hard to get everyone together. I'm from New York, yeah,

27:25 Speaker 4: and I live in New Hampshire, so we have lives, jobs,

27:29 Speaker 4: but we make it work when when we can, and

27:33 Speaker 4: it's and then Josh came in. He has keys on

27:37 Speaker 4: the album, and then I had the brothers Nylon do

27:39 Speaker 4: strings on the album.

27:41 Speaker 1: Oh that's right, I remember we talked about them.

27:42 Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, yeah, and.

27:45 Speaker 4: It's yeah, I just building this big theater piece almost.

27:50 Speaker 4: It feels like a movie to me.

27:53 Speaker 1: That track has that vibe definitely. Yeah.

27:55 Speaker 4: Yeah, And uh, you know, I don't I don't really

27:59 Speaker 4: know where it all comes from, but like it came

28:02 Speaker 4: from a weekend of me house sitting for my parents

28:07 Speaker 4: watching the animals and I was alone for the weekend,

28:12 Speaker 4: and the whole album just came out. I was just

28:14 Speaker 4: recording you know, not Stop and how Spider came out

28:17 Speaker 4: and a bunch of other songs, and it's just been

28:20 Speaker 4: building from there. And yeah, I mean kind of like really,

28:23 Speaker 4: I like, I release a lot of music under different

28:27 Speaker 4: things almost, yeah, just kind of like it just comes

28:30 Speaker 4: out of me and I'm posting and whatever. But I've

28:32 Speaker 4: been holding this one back really, you know what I mean,

28:34 Speaker 4: because it is a little different. It's that my baby's

28:37 Speaker 4: out in the world now, kind of like I never

28:39 Speaker 4: really sides of people that.

28:41 Speaker 2: Were working on it with me have heard it. Yeah,

28:43 Speaker 2: but I don't know.

28:45 Speaker 4: Yeah, it's it's a lot put into it, a lot

28:50 Speaker 4: of good content that I'm talking about and like, it's

28:54 Speaker 4: all real stuff and I think is something we need

28:59 Speaker 4: and I'm very proud of it and I can't wait

29:03 Speaker 4: for people to hear more of it. I hope people

29:05 Speaker 4: are excited. Yeah, you guys are excited.

29:07 Speaker 1: Yeah, definitely. So when is When is it out?

29:10 Speaker 2: I have no date for it. Oh, it it's done,

29:12 Speaker 2: Like but but I'm leaving breadcrumbs. I'm like, yeah, I

29:15 Speaker 2: don't need to put it out.

29:16 Speaker 4: I could, I could hold it back, but I want

29:19 Speaker 4: to make sure that I have really good visuals for it.

29:22 Speaker 1: Yeah.

29:22 Speaker 2: I don't want to just put it out and have

29:23 Speaker 2: it be overlooked.

29:24 Speaker 1: Right, that makes sense, you know.

29:26 Speaker 4: So I'm taking my time with it. And yeah, so

29:30 Speaker 4: maybe if there's some people want to hear more.

29:33 Speaker 2: Hype, prove it to me.

29:35 Speaker 1: Yeah.

29:35 Speaker 4: Yeah, that makes you know what I mean, Like, it

29:37 Speaker 4: makes I want to see if people want to hear more.

29:39 Speaker 4: Otherwise I'm just going to go on my timeline.

29:41 Speaker 2: Right right, you know what I mean?

29:43 Speaker 1: Yeah? No, that makes sense. You know, you got to

29:45 Speaker 1: do it right. And and I think that's something that

29:48 Speaker 1: a lot of musicians don't think about, is is really

29:52 Speaker 1: you know, you don't I mean, it depends on what

29:55 Speaker 1: your goals are, too, But so I I yeah, so

29:57 Speaker 1: there's nothing wrong with saying, Okay, I'm just gonna records

30:00 Speaker 1: and put it out, throw it out there and see

30:01 Speaker 1: what happens and see if people like it or not

30:03 Speaker 1: or whatever.

30:04 Speaker 2: But do it all the time.

30:05 Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, but I think. But I think also too,

30:08 Speaker 1: like it probably doesn't occur to a lot of people

30:10 Speaker 1: that you know, maybe maybe you want to be a

30:12 Speaker 1: little more deliberate about how you approach it and really

30:15 Speaker 1: kind of think it through so that you can you

30:17 Speaker 1: can set it up for you know, you want to

30:18 Speaker 1: set it up for success. You want to make sure

30:20 Speaker 1: you reach the largest audience possible with it, and that's

30:23 Speaker 1: going to require a little more for a thought, you know.

30:26 Speaker 1: But it depends on what your goals are and how

30:27 Speaker 1: serious you are about it. And it sounds like you're

30:29 Speaker 1: pretty serious about this one. Yeah, yeah, yeah, which is cool.

30:32 Speaker 4: A certain art needs to be you know, handled with care,

30:36 Speaker 4: like absolute I'm trying to say something here, like not

30:42 Speaker 4: not in the sense of like right now, I'm trying

30:44 Speaker 4: to say something to this right right now, but like

30:47 Speaker 4: like I want you to digest it, you know, visually yeah,

30:51 Speaker 4: and auditorially and you know, I don't know.

30:55 Speaker 2: Yeah, maybe I'm overthinking it, but it's it's important to me. Yeah,

31:00 Speaker 2: that's yeah, I gotta follow that.

31:02 Speaker 1: Yeah. You know how many tracks it is?

31:06 Speaker 2: Eight eighty eight tracks.

31:08 Speaker 1: Yeah.

31:08 Speaker 4: The ninth is a outro track with no vocals, but

31:14 Speaker 4: it's yeah, it's eight songs.

45:31 Speaker 1: for people who are who maybe newer listeners who don't

45:35 Speaker 1: this is so cool, right.

45:38 Speaker 2: Yeah, I was living.

45:40 Speaker 4: It was a pandemic, and I moved in with a

45:43 Speaker 4: bunch of just like five roommates and there's a brand

45:49 Speaker 4: new place and it's a hectic time because pandemic. Everyone's like, oh,

45:52 Speaker 4: you know, so think about moving during that time. But

45:58 Speaker 4: but yeah, a lot of weird stuff was happening in

46:00 Speaker 4: the house.

46:00 Speaker 2: I I didn't know, but before I moved in, someone

46:04 Speaker 2: had overdosed and I was the guy filling in the room.

46:09 Speaker 1: Yeah.

46:10 Speaker 4: Yeah, I didn't take the actual room there was there

46:14 Speaker 4: was I had a choice of taking the basement or

46:16 Speaker 4: the Yeah, and I chose the basement.

46:19 Speaker 2: Chris can vouch for that. He was there when I

46:22 Speaker 2: was picking the room. He was like, take the downstairs.

46:24 Speaker 4: Okay, now that I know what happened in the other room,

46:28 Speaker 4: that's that's whatever. But but yeah, a lot of weird

46:32 Speaker 4: stuff was happening in that house. Let me just say,

46:34 Speaker 4: and uh it inspired this song. A lot of weird

46:38 Speaker 4: things like, uh, randomly the deck being set on fire

46:43 Speaker 4: while I'm oh, yeah, that was the that was the

46:45 Speaker 4: wildest part. When you first told us about that, I

46:47 Speaker 4: was like, oh, my God, and I was smoking cigarettes

46:50 Speaker 4: at the time, so I was like blaming myself. Rightly,

46:52 Speaker 4: I did that, But I did find shards of a

46:55 Speaker 4: mirror on the ground. Yeah, that was the sun was

46:59 Speaker 4: hitting the mirror, and the mirror was that wild hitting

47:03 Speaker 4: dried leaves.

47:04 Speaker 2: Yeah, started the fire.

47:06 Speaker 8: Yeah.

47:06 Speaker 4: You would have thought of some boy scout stuff, but

47:08 Speaker 4: it was, uh yeah, because what are the odds of it?

47:10 Speaker 5: Yeah?

47:10 Speaker 4: And then that, and then there was also another weird

47:13 Speaker 4: incident where there was blood from.

47:16 Speaker 2: Out of nowhere.

47:17 Speaker 1: Just it's crazy.

47:19 Speaker 4: Yeah, hauntings, it's a real thing. Yeah, yeah, Wow, the

47:23 Speaker 4: souls are among us.
