Speaker 1: 0:42

oh, welcome back to another super awesome mix. My name is matt. Sit home alongside my co-host and co-founder. Super awesome mix samer abusabi samer. How are we doing this?

Speaker 2: 0:51

week. You know, I'm in the middle of august and I'm here and I'm I'm doing, okay, I'm doing fine. We're in the middle of August and I'm here and I'm doing, okay, I'm doing fine. We're in the tail end of summer, you know, training for my first marathon. So I'm out there every morning before it gets really hot, but it's still so hot and humid and I'm just powering through.

Speaker 1: 1:13

Well, if this is any solace, we are in the middle of a heat wave here in Texas, even for us, I mean. I think it's going to be 106 degrees today. No, thank you Hard pass.

Speaker 2: 1:28

That's crazy, that's too much.

Speaker 1: 1:31

I always laugh when it's like it's 106, but it feels like 114. Like once we're past 98, it kind of all is the same to me.

Speaker 2: 1:41

Yeah, exactly, I agree. No one's walking yeah.

Speaker 1: 1:46

I've just not dialed in enough to be like oh, now did it just get a degree hotter, you know, yeah, yeah.

Speaker 2: 1:54

No one's walking out there being like oh no, this is 112 easily. You know, it's like you're just hot.

Speaker 1: 2:02

There's no way, it's just 106. No, no, no, you're right, because it feels like 112. Oh God see, I knew I was feeling something.

Speaker 2: 2:12

You're right. Well, despite all of that, we've got, of course, another new music, and I got to say, just like the weather, the new music is heating up here, because this was a really, really good mix. There are a lot of awesome picks on this one.

Speaker 1: 2:28

I agree. I agree, when I sent you my picks, I was like man, I'm in love with my picks for this month which, just looking ahead, I feel like I've really been. We've both been real big fans of our respective mixes all year and so, looking ahead to kind of our best of, I'm like man. It's going to be tough to pare this down to the best of. There's so much great music coming out. But, yeah, just another good month of music, really from around the world too. I think we did a good job of that of just bringing in bands, not just from the US.

Speaker 2: 3:02

Yeah, absolutely. What's really funny is this first pick is actually your pick, the first song in the mix which you would have guessed, if you just looked at the lineup, that it would have been mine. It is Hog Calling Contest by King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard.

Speaker 1: 3:17

That's right. I believe you introduced me and the listeners to these guys once upon a time on a new music mix. If you would believe, sam, or just guess, do you know how many studio albums? And if you already know this, I mean just tell me. But do you know how many studio albums King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard have?

Speaker 2: 3:42

I don't know the exact number, but I know it's a lot more than you'd be, than than you would think. Like it's insane. I think they cranked out like four albums in a single year, one year recently this is their 26th studio album okay, I was gonna guess like 10 or 15 so that's insane yeah, it is titled b741, which they kind of play up as, like the name of a flight.

Speaker 1: 4:04

That's kind of the overarching theme to the album. Um, but I mean, I love this as an opening track. When I was. You know, whenever I order my new music mix, I really try to be be conscious of what's the opening track, what's the closing track. And I felt like this was a great opening track. It's got some gospel piano and some kind of funky guitar playing and then we're off and then lyrically it's just a lot of. It's just a mashup of pig and hog metaph metaphors. It's as ridiculous as you think it sounds, based on title and band name alone. But man, the music got me going and I was like man, I love this. So, yeah, I had to include it on the mix.

Speaker 2: 4:50

Absolutely. Yeah, this is a really fun high energetic song. I was reading that Stu McKenzie, who's their lead singer, basically said that this is a song that comes around when you are basically just recording and you don't know that you're being recorded. You know you're just like fooling around basically and I think that sums up the song perfectly between how it sounds and the lyrics, I mean it's just like nonsensical fun. It's great.

Speaker 1: 5:16

All right. Well, speaking of uh fun, I thought this next song was really fun.

Speaker 2: 5:20

Your first pick, it is perfume by the dare yeah, another, you know another kind of clicking around on new music and just seeing what, what I like, after listening to a couple seconds of it and I was like, okay, I am interested, because the first kind of moments really reminded me of lcd sound system. Um, that's kind of who immediately reminded me of LCD Sound System, that's kind of who immediately came to mind as I was listening to them. But then I kept listening to the lyrics and honestly, they just made me laugh and the whole song. I was sold on it. This whole idea of this person wearing perfume and everyone is obsessed with them because of it. And, even better, the second verse he sings it's $5.99, I spray it, sprayed in my mouth and it tastes just divine, it's erotic. It's from paris too. I just love that. Yeah, it's a great. It's a great song.

Speaker 1: 6:11

It made me laugh um, I agreed, I I. My first comment on this was what am I listening to?

Speaker 2: 6:19

Yes, exactly.

Speaker 1: 6:22

It's kind of new wavy. It's almost like a new wave version of Cake in a sense, because he does the kind of sing talking thing that Cake kind of is known for, known for. Like this guy, I don't know how good of a voice he actually has. He may be an excellent singer, but it's not like you're listening to this and going man check out his pipes. You're really more sucked in by the beat. And then, like you said, it's just a funny song and I love that because I feel like that's something that people just don't. I don't know both these first two tracks. It's just like let's just have some fun playing music, more so than it is like I'm going to deliver this serious message.

Speaker 2: 7:05

Right. Yeah, I don't know if it's like a self selecting thing that's happening to me, but I have definitely spent the last several years just kind of like drowning in music. That is very like woe is me, the world is ending, like everything is terrible and I get it right Like we've all. You know, we went through a pandemic. We've gone through a lot as people, but I certainly have an appetite for like silly fun songs again. Like I want to like listen to things and smile. So I'm really happy whenever stuff like this comes across and is being featured as new music and now, you know, pass it along to you and hopefully you like it as a listener. So I'm, I'm here for it.

Speaker 1: 7:40

This is great yeah, I, I agree. I was just on jen's show you know what are you listening to and we were talking about the twisters soundtrack and how it's kind of a throwback because it's a 29 song soundtrack and it's all these country artists who contributed to it and all of them kind of have the feel that they made these guys watch the movie and then have them write a song about it. So it's like it's just like I don't know, like I kind of just appreciated it just on that premise, that it was like oh yeah, I mean, you're just writing a song about just this movie. There's not some larger message here.

Speaker 2: 8:18

Right, yeah, totally agree. Oklahoma took a big feature in that film. I feel like it was an advertisement to either move to Oklahoma or never move to Oklahoma, depending on your take of things as a Texan, I'd say the latter.

Speaker 1: 8:36

Right, of course, I know we have a ton of fans in Oklahoma. Don't worry, Tulsa, we're going to do that live show sometime in 2025.

Speaker 2: 8:44

All right, the next track on the mix, and it is your second pick, and it is Midas by Wunderhorst.

Speaker 1: 8:50

Yeah, this is an English rock band and they got together during COVID, which I thought was kind of cool. Just, their origin story was just, I guess they could only see each other, or they just kind of were, you know, like a lot of us. I mean, hell, we started this podcast during COVID, right, yes, true, so a lot of you know, let's not just focus on the bad of the pandemic. Right, there was some good, okay, and this is their second studio album, um, so it's kind of interesting because I felt like the lyrics here almost sound like a horror movie, right, like there's one line.

Speaker 1: 9:26

I searched to find the fracture in his tombstone, facelift, and there's all these, like there's all this imagery in here. But then, like when I took another step back, I'm like is he just talking about like kind of a shady businessman and just using like these very descriptive words? But in any case, I just really appreciated, I think, the the lyrical density of this one and the irregular like pattern, like the way he was singing. It Like it's not something where you know like you can hear a melody and kind of figure out how the words might go along with that when you, when you're like reading the lyrics along with it, whereas here the lyrics and the music don't match up perfectly.

Speaker 1: 10:08

So so the you know there's kind of a trick that the singer's doing to kind of make it all fit together. That you know I feel like Bob Dylan does that a lot in his music. You know I feel like bob dylan does that a lot in his music. You know where he's kind of like he's packing those words in, but he's kind of making it work with the way he wants the song to go. So I thought like it was a little bit with that. It's a really interesting band here and I thought this was kind of a cool song it is a cool song.

Speaker 2: 10:30

Yeah, I really liked it. The thought that came to mind is, like I feel like singers often write at least one song. Right, every band or group writes at least one song about how awful it is to work with like recording agencies, and and I kind of feel like that's what this was right, like the, the man in the suit and you know like, the imagery that I really enjoyed is like he snapped his fingers and then you're just like falling. You know, all of a sudden you're falling out of the sky, and I think that that happens a lot with any kind of a business deal, right, like they can just snap their fingers and you're done. You know like, and you're left falling. So I really loved the imagery here and I thought it was a really interesting and well done song.

Speaker 1: 11:09

Yeah, I mean, even Taylor Swift has had her own adventures with, you know, agents and managers and whatever, to where she's even just re-recording albums, um, but yeah, no one's immune from it. No one's immune from it. Um, all right, track four, your second pick. I really like this one.

Speaker 2: 11:26

It is favela by logic yeah, logic is is definitely a band that or a singer that I come back to over and over again. I really really like this track. Um, he had like an album, I think, released last year that I wasn't as into, but this one, I think, is a little bit more why I like him, because it's just a very smooth track. Um, you know, he's he's just really talented at just putting a lot of rhymes together really like a couple lines here, um of the line, if I had a penny for my thoughts, then I'd be Elon Musk, which I think is great because for a number of reasons, right, he's obviously saying he's got a lot of thoughts.

Speaker 2: 12:02

But then I kind of feel like we're all living in a world where basically we're just giving Elon Musk money for him sharing his thoughts because of his purchase of Twitter slash X, like we live in that world now and I don't know how I feel about it. But then you know, the other line I really like is my game strong y'all, weak like five plus two, which I didn't totally get at first and I was like oh, I get it, you're weak like five plus two. A week has seven days and I just thought that was really clever lyricism. So really enjoy this track and I love, I really like coming back to Logic and listening to what he's up to.

Speaker 1: 12:39

I totally agree. I really like just really focused on hearing the rhymes because I knew there would be so many little things like that, the ones I wrote down. I did have the Elon Musk line as well, and then he had one want beef, end up a vegetable, which I thought was a nice little contrast. And then I think my favorite was smoking cigs after dark. We call that Nick at night, which I thought was great, because Nick at night is now.

Speaker 1: 13:08

It's so funny because I remember when I was younger, nickelodeon was just a kid's station and then as they kind of evolved and started running like reruns, like it was Nick at night, right, like that's what that refers to. And then I think it's just sort of a like pop culture name now that people just sort of acknowledge. I think it's just sort of known, even though people may not know the origins of it. But this was great to kind of connect it to smoking cigarettes as well. So just, it's just a great job. I mean so many, so many fun lyrics like this, and and maybe he doesn't intend it to be fun, but I certainly enjoy it yeah, exactly, yeah, I feel the same way, all right.

Speaker 2: 13:48

Track number five this one actually gets my my favorite badge here, and which was surprising, but I really, really like this track.

Speaker 1: 13:54

So this is cheapskate by dune rats yeah, this is another australian band, um, you know this new album from them. It almost sounds a little punk, um, but just, I listened to the whole album. This one was almost kind of the one of their lighter songs and it's really just about being cheap and the bad situations it can put you in when you are super cheap. I love the energy here, and the title of this album is If it Sucks, then Turn it Up, which I think is kind of a call out to maybe some of their critics over the years who maybe haven't been as big of fans of their sounds. But yeah, they're just like well, yeah, just play it louder, maybe that'll help. But yeah, just really like the energy of this one, and I've often been accused of being pretty cheap, so I also just appreciated the theme.

Speaker 2: 14:50

Yeah, I mean, whenever you flew in to visit me you wanted to eat a McDonald's. So I was like I kind of picked up on that and you wanted me to pay.

Speaker 1: 15:01

Well, we were in New York, right. Where else are we going to eat?

Speaker 2: 15:06

I mean let's at least go to Sparrow's right.

Speaker 1: 15:08

Yeah, that is true. You got to get a New York slice.

Speaker 2: 15:38

That's true, that's true, but yeah, I didn't know this band. They immediately reminded me of like 2000s, kind of like alt rock, you know, or punk rock, and I really enjoyed that. I really love the line here. You got your friends with the bends in the hills. Well, I got my friends who are bent on some pills. I just love that rhyme. It's so, so good. So kudos to them. But yeah, I really enjoyed the song and it was a nice little throwback feel to it as well.

Speaker 1: 16:10

All right track six you've got my Only Friend, by Amy Shark featuring Tom DeLonge.

Speaker 2: 16:17

Yeah. So what's really funny is again I'm just like clicking around or have like new music.

Speaker 1: 16:43

Yeah. So what's really funny is, again, I'm just like clicking around or have like new music, like on shuffle basically. And I started hearing this one and I thought, wow, this really sounds like new Blink-182. And then I looked out and I was like, oh well, there you go, because I just let the playlist play. I'm not looking down to see whatever. But that is awesome that you had the same thought. I thought this just drew you in because you've brought so much Blink-182 and Angels and Airwaves to the mix before. I thought you sought this out. So I'm glad we had the exact same experience of the song.

Speaker 2: 17:11

Yeah, that's hilarious. No, this was just fate. Like I had it on shuffle. I was doing stuff just listening to new music and, yeah, I was like, oh my gosh, this sounds like Blink. But yeah, it's Blink, with a different lead vocalist, amy Shark, and I actually recognize her voice because she's been on some Chainsmokers tracks that I've enjoyed too, so she's got a great voice. I think both of them work really well together. She's actually an Australian indie pop singer, slash songwriter, and doing this collaboration with him, so I thought it worked really well. I really like it. Again, if you like anything related to blink 22, you'll probably immediately like this song like um for that reason. So it was. It was really nice, and I again love that filter being applied to to her work, like we've talked about, like weezer and a number of other bands that just have a sound.

Speaker 1: 17:57

So it definitely shows here agreed and and what I love about this song is that I described it as a realistic love song, in that they have this lyric in there. I know this party sucks, it's never ending and I'm sorry to drag you here. I know it's not your scene and I think we've all done these things where it's like either going to the office, holiday party or whatever obligation that your partner has to take you to right and you're there and it just sucks. And they know, you know it sucks right.

Speaker 1: 18:32

And then they kind of to get that recognition of like, hey, this sucks and I'm glad you made it out here and whatever. I just thought that part of it. It was just like what an interesting take on a love song, because every relationship has those moments.

Speaker 2: 18:48

Yeah, yeah, I like that. It's like a realistic love song. Here's like the little moments that actually you know make up romance right. It's like showing up for someone, even when it's terrible. Yes, when it's terrible, yes, um, all right, so next pick. This one was a surprise, kind of a sleeper one for me. I wasn't sure about it at first, but it grew on me and this is not tonight by raging bunch yeah, this sounds a little country, but I think it's more like rock folkish than it is country like this.

Speaker 1: 19:17

This artist raging bunch is definitely not. You won't find them in the country genre if you're searching for them, but I really like this song. I like his sound. In general I think a lot of his songs sound pretty good, but this one's cool because the lyrics are all about getting his act together and doing right by his partner and they're sung very softly and all this and and then he gets to the chorus it's like but not tonight and and he kind of his voice gets a little coarser in that, a little rougher, and I think that's just really well done, both sonically and lyrically. That, like you know, like I'm going to do this, everything's going to go our way. That, like you know, like I'm going to do this, everything's going to go our way, but but just not tonight.

Speaker 1: 20:06

Tonight's not going to go well.

Speaker 2: 20:07

Yeah, it's kind of like the classic. Like you know, my diet starts tomorrow. Come Monday, I'm going to be working out every day. Yeah, no, it was really good. Like the opening chords literally had me a little hesitant. I was like, no, it was really good. Like the opening chords literally had me a little hesitant. I was like, oh no, this is like a deep country track, um, but I let it play and I'm glad that I did um, it actually reminded me of I've been re-watching scrubs, um, and it reminded me of the of lazlo bane, who sings the opening song, um, you know, I'm no superman oh, yeah, yeah and, uh, I kind of got that vibe from it and I really liked it.

Speaker 2: 20:42

This one ended up being another another track I enjoyed for me, so well done nice.

Speaker 1: 20:48

Whenever I can get you even something you know country adjacent, like this, I feel pretty good right?

Speaker 2: 20:53

yeah, it's a big win yeah, all right track.

Speaker 1: 20:56

Eight it is favorite by chloe and anderson.

Speaker 2: 21:01

Yeah, I mean this one is kind of a cheat for me, because any time I see Anderson on a track I'm going to click play. This is one that I actually sought out and wanted to listen to, but I really liked it. It's classic, his sound right. It's just a very, very smooth track. Chloe's on it and she's wonderful. Just love listening to the two of them together. It works really well and it just feels like a song that you can just bop to. You know like it just has like this really nice kind of like bop feel to it. You can be dancing around getting stuff done like little mini dance break song, if you will, and just kind of felt like a nice summer jam. So I really enjoyed this track just for that reason. It just felt like an easy one to put on here and just kind of play in the background while you enjoy your day and do other things Like that's this type of energy that I'm again wanting to bring more of into my life.

Speaker 1: 21:49

So yeah, I'm surprised this one hasn't kind of been more on the pop charts, I guess, or getting a little more like just straight radio play, because it's just so listenable right.

Speaker 1: 22:02

And it's like the horns in there and there's a nice back and forth with them. Lyrically, I also think this one is very I don't know if this is a word, but sampleable Like. I feel like DJs can take clips of this and just mash this into other songs and it would work well. I just love the background beat that is throughout this song. It's really good. There's not a ton to the lyrics.

Speaker 1: 22:30

here You're not going to do a deep dive into that, but I think you're going to hear this song and just want to hear it again.

Speaker 2: 22:38

Right, exactly, that's a good way of putting it. You're like I like that I could listen to that again. Yeah, absolutely. Speaking of songs that I'm excited to listen to again and again, this one, if the other one was my first of yours, this is a very, very close second, and this is Nobody Knows by Killer Mike and Anthony Hamilton hamilton.

Speaker 1: 22:58

Yeah, whenever killer mike has a new release, I'm gonna at least listen to it, and I think three or four times before I've brought it to the new music mix. So, um, yeah, I don't know, this one very like, it stuck out to me as very like self-reflective um, he always has, you know, great beats, great rhymes, um, and it says like I'm going blank, I'm just trying to fill a void, which I thought was a cool, cool wordplay there. And then the chorus. It's like you got to rise up out of hell to be heroic. Better be moving with the wisdom of the stoics, um, which is also just great advice, you know. I mean listen, go back and read some of the stoics. There's a lot of good stuff there. But yeah, I mean, I don't know, like every time he comes out with something it's always good, it's always substantial, right, like we talked about kind of fun songs earlier in the mix, but this one, it's always like something to really, really get you thinking.

Speaker 2: 23:53

I agree, yeah, and it has like a gospel feel to it, right, like I really like that and I think that works so well with the lyrics here to keep going, because I called out yours, that you just read. But the next lines there I really enjoy as well, which is my transformation undergoing and it's showing, staying and going, reaping, sowing. I ain't slowing and I just think it again, he does a beautiful job with it, much better than me, but it's just so cool, right, like he's just telling this this story of like how he's he's growing and he's just keep, you know, keeps on moving, like reaping and sowing. So I really, really like that and I love the song, I love the energy and just how it's presented. Start to finish so solid, solid track all right.

Speaker 1: 24:31

Track 10 we've got active by Asake and Travis Scott.

Speaker 2: 24:38

Yeah, this is an international pick for sure. So a bit of African music. The singer Asake is from Nigeria and this is just super different than what I normally listen to and I love it. Like it's so catchy. I kind of fell in love with the beat instantly and I think it's really cool that apparently he was able to do this collaboration with Travis Scott, because they hung out at a house party once and just like kind of, I guess, reconnected with him and asked him to do it and he was like sure, so I love that. I think that's great right, because that's such a human thing like you. Just you hang out with someone at a house party and then like five months later, you call them back up and be like, hey, remember that time and I don't know, can you do this?

Speaker 1: 25:18

thing.

Speaker 2: 25:18

Remember that conversation we had uh, right, no, but keep talking right exactly, exactly it's so great, but yeah um, just just a cool different track, uh, and I really like it and I I love that. Um, you know, international, international music is getting more and more featured because there's a lot of amazing stuff out there.

Speaker 1: 25:41

So just a really different and interesting pick here yeah, I mean, once upon a time we did a full international mix with a lot of songs that were in different languages, and I think this is a good example of a lot of the songs we had on there where you don't need to know the translation for the rhythm and just sort of the voice quality to kind of suck you in and get you going. And I did read the translation. It's a really positive song, but I would have guessed that just listening to it, right, like there wasn't anything kind of down about the song, and so it's kind of exactly what you're listening to, even when it translates to english, which is which is really pretty cool. Um, and also, uh, just just to complete the news cycle here, travis scott is out of uh jail in Okay. He was taken into custody after the Paris Olympics, apparently got into a fight, but I think he's been released. No word if he's back in the U S yet, but but at least he's out of a French jail.

Speaker 2: 26:46

Yeah, I actually did not know that, but good to know Now you know. Happy he's out of the French best deal. If you will, I think I used that correctly, right? Sure, yes.

Speaker 1: 27:02

We have a lot of listeners in France, so they'll reach out to us at superawesommix Samra. What is our French Instagram?

Speaker 2: 27:09

the French language one Le superawesommix. I'm good. Yeah, the show's canceled. That's it. That's the end of it.

Speaker 1: 27:20

We've offended the French, so there's no getting, there's no going back. Once you've offended, there's no going back.

Speaker 2: 27:25

No, all right, but with that let's get onto your final pick, track 11. And that is dance with me by tones and I all right.

Speaker 1: 27:36

So if you're going to walk away with just one song, let this be it, Okay. Like just just wake up in the morning, put this on, get yourself going. Okay, I feel like we've talked about this over and over, but Tones and I who made her name on that ridiculous Dance Monkey song?

Speaker 2: 27:54

Oh my gosh.

Speaker 1: 27:55

And then, since then, she just keeps putting out music that I think you and I agree are both like man, this is a good song. She can really sing, she can really write a song. We continue to be kind of blown away by her output, which is so rare for someone who kind of has a song like that and this Right.

Speaker 1: 28:16

And this one's just great. I mean, I just love the energy in it. It's got to be used in a montage at some point in a movie. Even if I have to make that movie, it's going to happen.

Speaker 2: 28:29

Okay, I'm probably not going to. I'm excited to watch it.

Speaker 1: 28:31

I'm probably not going to make a movie. I'll be honest, but that was a good declaration to make, wasn't it?

Speaker 2: 28:38

it is. Yeah, I mean, if you ever do, I'm gonna support it I appreciate that.

Speaker 1: 28:43

Anyway, love this song. It's gonna get you going.

Speaker 2: 28:45

I thought it was a great high note for my mix to go out on yeah, no, I love it and and we've started to feature tones and I more often and I I'm here it, as you said, she's great. Honestly, I never would have listened to her music after that Dance Monkey song because I didn't really like that song and I also think, yeah, it doesn't showcase what she's actually really talented at. So it's interesting. I'm really happy that she kind of. I think what turned around for me is, if I remember correctly, she was also in a feature with Macklemore and I started digging more into her music then and so happy that I did, it's been great. She said that she wanted to create like an 80 style song and kind of like dancing on my own, and I think she did a. Really she just nailed it Like that comes through in this track very well. So, as you said, wake up, put this on enjoy your day.

Speaker 1: 29:39

All right track 12, your final pick.

Speaker 2: 29:46

It is. This Is how it Went by Beba Doobie. Yeah, so I've been on a run of kind of ending on high notes with my mixes and I just felt like I had to bring back the classic Sammer and end on just a sad, sad, tragic song. Um, gotta go to my roots you know I mean, that's just who I am it's just who you are yourself.

Speaker 2: 30:04

I agree, I agree yeah, um, but no, I mean in a mix of five other tracks that are generally higher energy than this. Um, I still just had to feature this because her new album finally came out. I've been like waiting for it to release. I still just had to feature this because her new album finally came out. I've been like waiting for it to release and I just love this track. This closes out the album.

Speaker 2: 30:21

I think it's a very honest track. You know, she's singing about like a breakup and I think it's really interesting because she was literally like writing this song to process a breakup and she sings it like she can't say these things to this person, but she can sing about them and I just think that's again such a human thing, because we often find that it can be very difficult to have like a direct conversation with someone, but you can use art as a way to kind of have that conversation. I just think that's so cool. You know, obviously it's unfortunate she's going through a breakup, but it's our kind of benefit that we can listen to her like sing about it and it's so relatable and real to all of us and I think that's what makes some people very powerful singer-songwriters is like they're just real and yeah. So I just really like this track. I like how it sounds.

Speaker 1: 31:05

It's got this great little simple melody that kind of can get stuck in your head, despite her singing about this sad topic yeah, I agree, and and I I kind of loved how this song was kind of just about her writing process a little bit as well, like it is this breakup and all this, but it's also like she's showing how she's going through that and and writing about it, which which was really cool.

Speaker 1: 31:29

Um, it's also kind of shocking to think that she opened for taylor swift on, like most of the era's tour, because she's got such a soft voice and just sort of a soft manner about her and she's playing in these massive stadiums, right, right, and maybe not everyone was sitting at that point, but presumably, you know, close to a hundred thousand people in the house, uh, listening to her, and so, um, I thought that was really like. When I really thought about it, I was like, yeah, that is impressive, that is really impressive. Um, I don't think she was at the dallas show that I went to for taylor swift, I think I forget who who was a, maybe it was her, I don't know. Um, but we got there. We anyway didn't didn't actually see the opening act, is what I'm trying to say Got it.

Speaker 2: 32:18

Got it.

Speaker 1: 32:19

Anyway, I also thought it was cool that in the second verse she kind of shouts out what I think is Elliot Smith. She just says Elliot, but I'm assuming that's a reference to Elliot Smith, who was obviously a renowned singer-songwriter, but also one who went through some stuff obviously and found kind of a tragic ending, but yeah. So I thought that was kind of an interesting reference too and sort of a song about songwriting. She kind of makes that reference, which was really cool. All right. Well, there you have it.
