If a song can't hold up on an acoustic guitar, is it really a song?
Maybe we did tour the world and we were rock stars, or maybe we didn't, but you still have like this piece of art that you're proud of.
You jamming out to that song makes this whole life worth it.

Today, I have a dynamic musical duo. I've got Greg, I've got Ian. If you've ever listened to an episode of this podcast before, you have heard their magical musical works. The members of Gregorian, aka Gregorian, Gregorian, uh they are incredible local artist, musicians. They are playing a show coming up on August 9th at the turntable venue. You got it all.
Come on. I don't have to correct anything. And they are also two spectacularly good friends of mine, and I'm really excited to up on the show. Greg, Ian, what's up?
What's happening?
Yeah, happy to be here.
Uh guys,
man, that was all for memory. That was that was pretty good. That was fun.
I had my email open, so you do that. Yeah. I mean, we've done this a few times. We're we're rocking and rolling. This is a part of the show where we are gonna talk a little bit about music here in the Hoosier State. They're going to play literally anyone who's watching at home. They have their guitars in the studio here. They're going to play some music for us. We might even have to talk about the economic impact that the Pacers, the Fever, and the upcoming Gregorian show is going to have on having on our our central Indiana community. And they're gonna play some music for us.
There we go.
And I think the best thing that we could do to start this, to set the scene, is have them play a little diddy for us. Gentlemen, are you good with that?
I think Yeah, we know. We know some songs we could do.
You know some songs? All right. So, we're going to I mean, what do you got for us? Let's hear a little something something.
We're going to play the song that started it all. It's called Sleep. Greg wrote this one.
Amen.
So, sound good.
And then we'll talk and then we'll like it'll be a little like musical sandwich.
Sounds good. Sounds great.
Let's rip it.
All right. Groovy. What? [Music] You've got a fire on. [Music] Lights up your face. It helps you heal. It helps you heal silent and something's wrong. It's not your name that makes you real that makes you real. But tell me love, how you going to sleep at night and you know it ain't right. Tell me love, how you going to sleep at night?
Maybe we should make this right. [Music] A mind's a world away. Your eyes are closed. You feel a pole. You feel the pull to maybe run away. We're not too old to make a change. To make a change. But tell me, love, how you going to sleep at night? You know it ain't right. Tell me love, how you going to sleep at night?
Maybe we should make this right.
Maybe we should make this right. [Music]
Maybe we should make this right. [Music] We should make this right.
Maybe we should make this right.
Let's go. I've never heard the acoustic version. That was spectacular.
I saw you singing along.
Oh, you know I know all the words. I uh I mean well I was at the last show down at Hi-Fi.
Oh, Front Row. I mean uh
the thing is if a song can't hold up on an acoustic guitar, is it really a song?
Really?
Hot take.
Is that what is that the hot take? I don't know. I don't know enough about I mean I love music and I like I always said you know like I love having artists on. I love promoting like all sorts of different music. I mean, country music has my heart, but I mean, any sort of, you know, your guys' show or different local artists, it's so cool to see how talented people are. And it's like, you never know. They could be out in Among Us. Like, you're on a Zoom call with someone trying to sell some sass and then there's like in the back like, "Yeah, I'm about to go play on a podcast." Like, that's pretty cool.
This is very true. Yeah. Yeah. Our our day jobs and our uh
our music couldn't be further from each other. One one is like
revenue generating and the other is anti-revenue generating.
That's fair. Um they need each other.
Before we you know obviously we're going to play another song. I'm super pumped to have you guys here. I want to learn a little bit about how did you guys get hooked up and where did this musical journey together as Gregorian start?
You know Ian and I have known each other for a long time. Uh you mentioned sort of we've worked together before too doing sales and marketing at different companies here locally, but we've been friends for a long time.
I mean, we've been we've been roommates, we've been groomsmen, we've been co-workers, we've I feel like at this point, what are the other roles?
Yeah.
That we could play to get some ideas. But we never like for for most of our friendship never really played a lot of music together until the pandemic. and uh you know I Ian has written a lot of music and played a lot live locally and things like that and I've played a lot of music but haven't put a lot of it out into the world. So um yeah over the pandemic we just started sending some files uh some some music files some ideas back and forth and getting together social distancing around a campfire and and it kind of just happened pretty naturally. I just remember sitting around a campfire because we were just like sad during the pandemic and had nothing to do and Greg played that song we just just played. It was like a a demo at the time.
I don't think it was fully written yet. Man, I really like that song. We should we should do something with that if you want to. I think for me because I I make decisions based on uh things like hype as opposed to like data points and things, but the idea of what if we called it Gregorian that just like flew across my brain and I couldn't get out of my head and it took a long time to convince Greg.
I'd say at least half of our ideas as a band are things that we joke about and then things that Ian convinces me are good things to actually try.
Yeah. Yeah. It always it works out. That's fun. Yeah, it always starts as a joke and then I'm like, "Wait, wait, wait. I think we should actually do it." And Greg's like, "No."
There's one thing about Ian that everyone needs to know is that like a lot of it's just an idea. It was like the music we'll figure all the music out, but the name is just too good to like
Yeah. It's like the joke is too good. Like like I think at least 49% of the reason we're a band is because I was like I couldn't get this out. We we have to start a band called Gregorian because it'd be funny and then let's actually do it. And then
and well, I think a lot of people like play music, right? There's a ton of musicians in the city of Indianapolis. There's a ton of musicians across the world, but they don't say necessarily, oh, we're in a band. You like like we have friends that play music together, but they're not necessarily in a band. What does like that progression of like, hey, we started a band, now we record and release music and we play local shows. How do you get it up off the ground?
The writing part and then you deciding what you want to do with a song after it's written. And so I think one of the cool things about writing music with other people is just sort of the encouragement and the support and the feedback that you can get cuz you know any anything that you're going to create and like any creative idea that you have sometimes that can be v vulnerable to put that out into the world or put that out in front of other people. And I think having a collaborator just maybe and I'll speak for myself here gets me to take some more risks
like an idea that I'm not sure if it's cool or if I really like it and then if it might be you know something that Ian is responding to or encouraging me to try. That's I think sort of at the heart of of being a band. Not on the promoting your music side but on the creative side. you know, what does it look like to have collaborators to help you
chase down an idea that you're interested in or take a risk that you might not take on your own? Like that's what I think the real power of the starting band is.
Like just that little like nudge of like, hey, this doesn't suck
you because I feel like sometimes people can be like nervous even for us like putting out a video.
I'm like when you build it in a silo, you're kind of like, oh man, I'm going to put this out and everyone's going to hate it and blah blah blah. And it's like one reassuring voice of like,
no man, this is really good. like this is solid and that can be like the little nudge that you need.
It's both directions. Yeah, we were probably both about to mention that. Uh it's also incredibly great to build up trust with someone where they can also say, "I think we could beat that." You know, and that's that's like the friendly way of saying that line, that lyric kind of sucks. I think we we could make it a little bit better.
Like is that hard to get that feedback when you to to receive it? I I think it depends on the person giving it. Like if Greg shares that feedback with me,
10 times out of 10, I'm grateful for it and I know that it's going to be better by working on it together. If someone else we didn't have that trust built up or that mutual like almost appreciation of each other's styles or the way we think through things, I think that would be really tough. Partially cuz it wouldn't necessarily be offensive. It's It's almost just, oh, I don't know if we're both trying to work towards the same goal with this section. You know what I mean? So,
yeah.
Um,
here's a question for you. I I bet that some local musicians
will see this episode and be interested in hearing a little bit more about how you bring a show to life,
like how other the fact than just like you accept the fact that we're going to just like rent out a venue and lose money and like maybe someone will show up. Who knows? Like we just do. But if you wanted to make like you have a band, you play music with your friends and you want to host your first live show,
how would you start? What would you do?
It starts with finding a great venue uh where you can collaborate with the with with the the person like there's a person who understands what you're trying to do and you can share the vision of that. So, for instance, this show coming up at Turntable, releasing new music this summer. We want to host events that happen to be music that bring people together, help people feel less alone and more connected to other people in the same room. For me, like live music is my favorite. I love live performance, but specifically live music, there's just something special about it.
You know, find a venue that you feel excited about collaborating with the people. How do you balance that with like if you're a first time performer and you're like, "Yeah, you know what? Ruof Music Center looks like a really good venue that I'd love to be a part of."
So, I'd say start at the stage that makes sense for your stage.
Do you have any recommendations of like local spots? Like if you were playing your first show ever,
local breweries, local bars, uh local restaurants that are just cool with you showing up playing in front of people. it's helpful to think about um what's in it for them. So, if I'm a restaurant or a bar or brewery, I'm hoping that by having live music, yes, I want to help create the vibe, but I'm also kind of hoping that a few of that musicians friends show up. So, if I can proactively reach out and go, hey, I'd love to come play at your space. And generally whenever we come play somewhere, even if we don't promote it the way we're promoting, we're promoting this up upcoming show, we're hoping it's good turnout. But if it's a smaller venue, we can still say, you know, 20 people will come. That really matters, you know, like that that takes up Friday night from here to here for
Yeah. You think 20 people check size $30? Like who's going to say no to 20? Like I don't know the math on that. Like whatever $600.
Yeah. Like that's a good little uptick of just like you bring in this artist and you make 600 bucks because they spend some money, drink some beer. Like that the economics on that makes sense.
We obviously know what our goals are, but just the importance of being good partners and and easy to work with and trying to understand, you know, what the value might be, whether it's, you know, the money side of it and bringing an audience or just like um creating great entertainment and great community at their at their venue or their small festival or whatever. So, just feeling willing to listen um and understand their goals and not just your goals as a band and just being, you know, easy to work with and doing what you you say you're going to do and um yeah, just trying to
really build relationships outside of you just trying to promote your music.
Absolutely. Well, when you guys talk about your goal, like what what are the goals for Gregorian?
Like we see the creative outlet side of it of just if it's music that we like and we're excited about, there's value in that on its own, you know, regardless of how many people hear it. just creating something and putting it putting it out into the world. Like that that's fun and you know I know we both get a lot of joy and sort of creative fulfillment from that. We also want to just take our music seriously like the songs are meaningful to us but also not take ourselves too seriously. Like we want to have fun, make our music meaningful hopefully to other people too and bring people together at shows or or you know other things that we're doing around town. So those are just a few of the things that come to mind for me.
For me, it's actually more important to remember to focus on just enjoying the process, like kind of forgetting about what happens when you release a song into the into the wild because at that point, it's not yours anymore. It's it's impacting someone else's life. They're interpreting it. But if you can just enjoy the process of writing a song that you like,
Yeah. just you like and don't worry about well is it too long or is it too short or is it catchy enough or is this one part trendy enough with current music? Like forget all that. You're going to write the best stuff that ironically will probably resonate with the most people if you just focus on stuff that you like because that's that's going to bring out the best in you. And that I think whenever I get distracted by the things like, well, what if we wanted 10,000 streams on a song? What if we wanted 20,000? Like that just puts me in the that's not the headsp space I'm trying to be in when I'm creating music versus when I'm at my day job, which I do have those goals at my day job.
Right. Well, I love that. And like your focus on creating something that you're proud of. And then it's like at the end of the day, one day you're going to be 80 years old and you're sitting in a chair and you're like, you know, maybe we did tour the world and we were rock stars or maybe we didn't. But either way, you still have like this piece of art that you're proud of and and I love that that expression. I'm going to play uh a little portion of one of my favorite songs from you guys because like it was the time where I was like I like listened because it was Ian and he was like I have this band and we put out music and I was like okay buddy like for sure. And then I like downloaded like multiple songs and then started like it's in my every common playlist, you know, like
I I want to know, have you ever ran to a Gregorian song, Nate? Be honest. It's okay if not.
Uh not run, but drive.
Okay.
Yeah. Like I have it in our songs. Are they too slow? Do we need a faster song for you to run?
Maybe if we like combine you guys with academics and then do an EDM remix. Yeah.
That could get me like I need like beats per minute for sure. Uh, if I'm going to run.
Yeah,
this song is fire. [Music] Dark nights glow. begins to show a memory. Headlights out on the road seem to know the miles ahead. Then you appear inside my mind like a be in the night. I know I'm not alone. Hear me out. Even when you're not around, I can feel you near me. Just like you were right here waiting. Call me out, baby. or not. Repeated inside you knows I will be right here waiting. That was the one I was like driving down the road windows open on like a sunset in Indianapolis and that was like the and as the song goes on there's like some there's like a part where there's like a an insane guitar lick.
You know what I'm talking about?
Oh yeah. You know what? I mean, it's your guys'
like and I'm just like,
"Dude, this is fire." If you're into great country music, good vibes, and an atmosphere that just screams summer, then you need to check out the Red, White, and Brown Music Fest. It's going down on August 23rd at Historic League Stadium in Huntingburg, and we're going to be out there. This just isn't any venue. This is the same stadium from a League of Their Own. So, you're getting a slice of America's favorite pastime with your music.
The lineup is stacked. Tyler Farre, John Michael Montgomery, and Randy Hower. I mean, this is going to be so much fun. And the best part, proceeds from this event go to supporting local and regional veterans and veteran organizations, as well as local children in need through the Kicks for Kids program. This program provides brand new shoes to kids who need them most. I love it.
Now, tickets are moving fast and prices go up after August 13th. So, don't wait. Head over to rwbmusicfest. com, grab yours now, and we will see you down in Huntingburg. Again, I that was where I went from like I listen to Gregorian to support my friends to like I just love this music. It was really good.
Yeah, love hearing that.
Yeah, I also I wanted to mention um cuz you were asking about a band earlier. So, we are playing acoustic guitars right now, but normally and like what will happen at the show at turntable, we have a full band, amazing drummer, basist, another guitarist/ keyboardist, another vocalist, like it is full band. It I would be remiss if we didn't mention like amazing that band is. They're all like our dearest friends and it's just so much fun to play on stage with with your close friends and
Yeah.
And you can feel the energy in the room. Like
it's fun. I had a great time with the last one. I'm excited to come to this one on August 9th
at Turntable Saturday night. We're going to be hitting Pizzafest up in the morning uh down or like in the the mid afternoon. Yeah.
I'm rolling straight from Pizza Fest on the circle. Yeah.
Up to the show. What time does it start?
Yeah. Doors at six, shows at seven.
And there's some local artists, right, that are opening.
Yes. So Sarah Grain, she is amazing. Almost has this like timeless voice that sounds like she's been around forever. Like it sounds like music that wasn't written yesterday in in the best possible way. So I'm really excited for people to hear her. Very excited for people to hear Jay Davidson, who is going to be opening up the show. She's a local singer, songwriter. It's going to be a great time. All local music. Um and and very different genres too. Yeah. So
details for the show
doors at 6, shows at 7. You can get tickets online and use the word Gregorian without the slash and that will be no online fees.
Uh get Indiana is a proud sponsor of this show. So we don't just promote local music here. We are also we put our money where our mouth is when it comes to promoting artists in Indiana and helping bring this thing to life. So we will be there. We have I think we're bringing a crew of like eight or something like that. So, it'll be super fun. Energy will be in the room.
Yeah. Get Indiana sponsoring. At Properties is sponsoring. That was the thing I forgot just then to thank our sponsors. Nate Spangle, my dear friend Nate Spangle. Thank you for for coming alongside. So,
Oh, of course. Uh I do have I have one one question about that and then we have a few music fun questions for you guys. When I like play your song, is it ever like weird? Like do you ever like do you like listening to your own music? Is it weird to listen to your own music? Like, how does that go?
It's always weird when it's with other people. Even right now, I'm like, "Oh, do I look at the camera? Do I stare at this thing? Do I tap my foot to my own song?" Like, who you know,
like I'm over here vibing and they're like,
"Yeah." I just like, "How much are we allowed to come?"
And I'm like, "Oh, you know, we could have changed that one little piece there." Yeah.
But if you're not going to, you know, you can't you got to vibe to yourself even if no one else is going to like we're going to
100%. I will be honest. We do like our music, so we have a great time with it. Amen. So,
yeah.
Weird. What about you? Is it Is it ever weird to Is it not like embarrassing, but like you're just like embarrassed to be in the spotlight?
That's something that I go through is just trying to figure out, you know, I I love doing it and I love performing our songs and putting our songs out into the world, but trying to figure out Yeah. exactly how to take feedback or listen to other people listen to the songs is always interesting. But the cool thing about what you just played is that was one of our our first songs. So, I think that like the last song that we worked on, when I hear that, I'm still like it's still a little weird because I'm thinking about making it and like being critical and saying, "Oh, yeah, that guitar part could change." But when I have some space and you hear a song that maybe we put out a while ago, I'm like, "Wow, I'm really proud of that." And that and you remember, you know, how fun it was to make it and and what was in your head at the time. And so, that's pretty cool to hear.
Oh, we're definitely going to on the way out, we're going to play that guitar lick like after we guys get like we have to like the people need to hear this guitar lick on the way out. say, "How can we put just 5 seconds of metal into a a synth
pop song?"
That was that was the goal. We were like, we want this to sound a little bit like The Weekend, but maybe with some heavy metal.
Yeah. But if like The Weekend like was at a biker bar.
Yeah.
There we go. There we go.
We've come to the part of the show we're going to talk about local Indiana music, music venues.
Gentlemen, we usually ask people about hidden gems.
Today we're going to be talking about specifically around venues. So, what is a hidden gem concert venue in Indiana?
I think I have one that is going to stump 98% of your listeners. It is fairly new.
I love this.
It's called, I believe, the Tin Can and it's in Columbus, Indiana. Previously, a church that just got transformed into a venue, but it literally looks like one of those oil can like upside down oil funnels basically. like it has the classic Columbus architectural like interest to it, but it can seat like 400 people or something. I saw um one of my favorite songwriters, Taylor Goldsmith, um along with his Golden Messenger earlier this year and I I haven't heard about it since. So, every I try to tell everybody about it and I hope they keep opening it up for for music. But that that would be mine. Like that feels like a true hidden gem that uh people should check out. So,
the tin can
you I don't even think you'll find it.
I don't think
you'll find it like on Facebook.
Stop.
Yeah.
All right. I'm going to Facebook now. I could not find it on Google.
Yeah.
Tin can.
I'll find I do have a photo of it.
Greg, what is your hidden gem music venue in Indiana?
You know, I think I think Ian had that one.
Oh,
yeah.
All right. If you could play any show in Indiana, where would you play?
White River. So, I think it's Everweise now, right? Yeah.
So, I have a lot of fond memories of shows at that venue and, you know, seeing the city on one side and the river on the other side.
That would be pretty awesome.
Yeah, that would be that would be a fun one to play. Packing that thing out. My favorite concert ever that I've ever been to was at White River.
Yeah. Who was it?
Uh, Zack Bryan.
Oh, yeah.
But it was
I knew that about you. I could have told you it was before.
But it was it was this early days. Tickets were like 50 bucks and it was a Wednesday night
and the the place made my ears ring because everyone knew every word to every song and it was
it was a legendary experience.
You're the person who got me into listening to him. So,
Zach, if you're out there,
he's an Nate.
He's an avid listener of the show. Oh, obviously
every episode of Get In.
Totally.
Um, okay, gentlemen.
Here, here's your venue, by the way.
Okay, wait. We have a We have a picture.
Yeah, check that out.
What the Okay, wait.
That's very artistic.
Zoom in. It looks like a spaceship or something.
Did you join a music cult in Columbus?
I think so.
I tried to. Someone in Columbus is going like, I've seen that before.
Okay, we need I need you to text me this picture so we can use it as supporting evidence.
Yeah.
What has been your all-time favorite show you've seen in Indiana?
One of my favorite artists is Gregory Allen Isakov, and he comes uh to Indianapolis a lot, which is awesome. But there was one show that he played at Radio Radio in Fountain Square, which I don't even know how often they book that venue anymore. So,
like three times a year.
Yeah, that's a good hidden gem. If you have a chance to go to a show at Radio Radio in Fountain Square, keep an eye out.
Check it out.
But Gregory Allen Isakov, who's just an amazing, you know, kind of folk artist, but he played with a a string trio. So it was just beautiful string arrangements, awesome songwriting and just like a small local club as a really good memory.
Radio radio
and nowadays he's playing it everwise. So like he's he's made it he's doing well. So it was I was also at that at that radio radio show.
That's sick.
This is a very hard question for me because I go to I love love love concerts. I'm going to give you two. Joe Pug, who is my favorite songwriter, and he played I think it's called the Doo317 Lounge now. It used to be called the Loi. So, it's the Hi-Fi's other
like like upstairs venue that's smaller.
The brand recognition the the rights went to D317.
Yeah. I don't I don't I have no idea. I've seen it 317.
I'm sure I'm offending someone out there, but it's it's it's one of the two.
It's fine. I like to describe his voice as like it's almost like he sings like Bob Dylanesque, but he just sings barely better. Like just barely like if Bob Dylan has like this raspy like kind of out of tune voice, Joe Pug is just barely better than that. Um and I just absolutely love his music and that was I don't know 15 years ago. Um and then last year had the opportunity to actually host one of our favorite artists ever. His name is S. Carey. Um he's in the band Bonnie Ver and he played in my living room.
What?
We did a little living room show and his trio came and and played and it was magical to say the least.
Guys, just so you all remember how Nate brought Greg and Ian on the show. Nate loves local music. Nate's invite to the fancy living room concert got lost in the mail. Just so everyone knows like
what the world. That's sick.
That's so cool. How did you make that happen?
He posted on Instagram that he wanted to play some living room shows. Um, I submitted our living room and with a bunch like I went over the top with the submission.
What' you do?
Um, I shared a bunch of photos. I shared that my wife and I love hosting. We love hospitality. We actually Airbnb out our house and here's the listing. You can stay here for free if you want. They didn't take us up on that. That would have been
uh extra sweet. But yeah, and then basically I think the reason they that we even had a shot is that different show in Bloomington I think got rescheduled or cancelled or something and so they had to fill a spot, you know, and they were like, "Hey, we love your space and and it just kind of worked out." And
how did like they sell tickets to your living room?
Oh yeah, it actually on the whole tour our house sold out faster than any of the other cities like within two hours. So, it was pretty cool.
How many tickets did they sell?
Uh, just 35.
That's sick.
So, I mean, it sold out immediately.
How many random people from around came to your living room?
10 to 12 friends and then a lot of random people like immediate just like I mean there was a guy who drove three and a half hours from northern like I don't know. I don't know where he's from.
That's dope. Uh, I love that. That's a that's a really fun one. I mean, being able to Can we get the All-American Rejects here? What do we have to do?
That's a great question. They're very very similar to Sary with some differences, but yeah. Yeah. Do they do they play living rooms? If they play living rooms,
I don't know if they do living room, but if they need like if you want to play a podcast studio, All American Reg, you're very welcome. Here we have a little upstairs venue space. Like that would be pretty fun.
Yeah, we I am I am trying to actively book more uh living room shows. So TBD, if you ever want to do a live a live recording of a local podcast in a living room show, we could make that happen, too.
Um, gentlemen, as we round out, the thing that people are dying to know about is one more time, tell us about this show on August 9th.
Yes, Saturday, August 9th at Turntable. It's a relatively new venue in Broadripple um that everybody should check out. It's going to be a night of all local music. We're going to have Sarah Grain and Jay Davidson playing with us as well. So, doors at 600, shows at 7. Go uh go to Turntable's website to get tickets and use the code Gregorian to wave all the fees. Save some money.
Yeah. And one additional thing about the room that I love. So, it used to be uh an old comedy club. So, it's right next to the Vogue, it's the same owners as the Vogue, but instead of like a more long and narrow venue, it's actually a pretty shallow and wide venue like a comedy club would be. So, it it's a really cool intimate space. Um it feels like you're right with the band. So um I've seen a couple shows there already and it's awesome. So shout out to the turntable.
Yeah. And we uh if you do if you love local live music obviously come to the show. Also go back and listen to our episode with Jenny Boys. She talks all about what uh 45 the Vogue Rock the Ruins all the cool stuff they're doing. They just did the Broadripple Park concert series. They have another one coming up I believe. So tons of cool stuff there. Gentlemen, thank you for coming on. Do you want to want to play us out? Should I look here or should I look here?
You can look wherever you want.
I'm going to look there.
Right. You know,
wait. Is this about to hit?
Hear me out. Even when you're not around, I can feel you near me. Just like you were right here waiting. Hear [Music] [Applause] [Music] me out. Even when you're not around, I can feel you near me. Just like you. [Music]
So, this song uh your listeners have heard before.
You may have heard this one before, y'all.
It's called Chance. Still the intro song?
Yes, sir.
It's the intro song to
this podcast. So,
let's hear it. Let's do it.
Two. One. Two. Three. Four. [Music] I was stuck in the middle. It was always on my mind. Stay safe. Get rich. Someday die a cut bait. Leave home. Throw the dice face down in the middle of the moon. And you gave me this word. I left until I saw you. But I saw you.
Oh, and she was off time. The hurricane of suffering gave me bad vibes. I'm in with the old and I'm out with the new. Can I push through? The water in the well is in line. [Music] I was stuck in the middle and it was always on my mind. Stay safe, get rich, someday die a cut, bait, leave home. [Music] Throw the dice face down in the middle of the moon. And you gave me this word. I left until I saw you.
But I saw you. [Music]
Oh, and she was off time. Hurricane suffering gave me bad vibes. I'm in with the old and I'm out with the new. Can I push through the water? The well, the water. The well, the water. The well, the water in the well is in wine. [Music]
There you have it. What is that song about? Believe it or not, that particular song is about walking my dog on the Monan, which I've never told anybody, but probably Greg and definitely you right now and Indiana cuz all of India
now everyone knows that's an exclusive.
Why was Yeah,
I'm not going to ask why because you don't need to pack with the artist. So, I've I've um I think we both one thing we've been trying to do is like push ourselves to write more simple plain spoken songs, you know, which is actually really hard. Pop is hard. Um but with this that particular song, it's really cryptic. It makes no sense to anybody uh but me, which is what I love about it. So,
Amen.
Yeah.
gentlemen, appreciate you coming on and we will talk to y'all soon.
