Speaker 1: 0:44

Welcome back to another Super Awesome Mix. My name is Matt Sidholm, alongside my co-host and co-founder of Super Awesome Mix, samer Abu-Salbi Samer, how are we doing this week?

Speaker 2: 0:53

You know I'm doing real well. We made it to September, which is unbelievable. How's everything been with you?

Speaker 1: 0:59

I mean it's great. It's great, Kids are back in school, we're back on like a normal routine and schedule. I mean the NFL season is back. I mean, what's there to be sad about right now? Cooler temperatures I know that means a lot to you temperatures.

Speaker 2: 1:19

I know that means a lot to you. It does. Yeah, I. I just was telling my wife recently that I feel like a part of me is is waking back up again. I like reverse hibernate, I think. Um. So now that the temperatures are cooler, I starting to feel myself again and it's so exciting, it's great.

Speaker 1: 1:32

That would be interesting if there's been, you know, seasonal affective disorder, uh, like studies around hot weather versus. You know seasonal affective disorder, like studies around hot weather versus you know, because a lot of times people do it around. Oh, it's a long. You know, when I lived in Maine it was cloudy for like seven months, you know, and just kind of overcast and cold and all the other stuff. So I wonder if you know, maybe you're some sort of phenomenon. Well, this will be some new thing named after you, I'll take it.

Speaker 2: 2:00

I do think I'm not totally unique, because I have looked up reverse sad and I do think that it does exist. Some people just seem to go the other direction, where they get a summer seasonal affective disorder, which is interesting.

Speaker 1: 2:14

That is interesting. Well, I'm really glad we made it out of the summer and also I feel like this mix for you kind of coming back to life. I feel like there were so many picks that I was like man, this is right up, Sam or Sally.

Speaker 2: 2:29

So I feel like that worked in your favor as well. It really did. Yeah, I was really excited about this one. This one is I've been listening to it ever since we put it together actually just kind of on on a loop, because there's some good, good stuff in here, so it's great heating up for best of um, you know, coming in December.

Speaker 1: 2:43

so with that, yeah, it's gonna be great. I mean so much, I mean we say it every month. There's so much great new music and it's getting harder to kind of make choices and figure out what we're gonna add and not add. And but yeah, I mean it's going to be a great year end.

Speaker 2: 2:59

Absolutely so. With that, let's kick this mix off with a really strong entry, and this is Bright Lights by the Killers.

Speaker 1: 3:07

Yeah, the Killers have done this thing the last few years, where they haven't come out with a new album. They've just made one new song. This is like the third straight year. They just kind of made one new song. Now this year they are going back to their hometown of Las Vegas and doing a residency, and I forget what hotel they're going to be at, but I think that would be an awesome show to check out, and so they wrote this song, bright Lights. It's really a song about coming home and in their case, obviously home. Home is Las Vegas and so that gives you the title Bright Lights and all that.

Speaker 1: 3:43

So I just love this song, and the thing that really stuck out to me is this sounded exactly like a meatloaf song. I've brought a couple meatloaf songs to the mix before, but if you're a meatloaf fan out there, you're going to listen to this and I think you're really going to hear a lot of that. I don't know if it's a direct influence on them, but I mean, that's that's all I heard listening to and I loved it Right Cause obviously Meatloaf has passed away. We're not getting any showing the emotion, but more so kind of I don't know whether it was intentional or not, giving a nice little nod to a to one of the greats.

Speaker 2: 4:26

Yeah, it definitely had like a throwback feel to it. Like that was my reaction listening to this. I thought it was also kind of a joyful song. I really liked it in that regard. My favorite comment on the song that I think nails it when I was reading the lyrics and stuff. There are people who post comments about the track and this individual said it's like a Springsteen recording. Sorry, it's like Springsteen recording a 90s Gillette ad and I just can't add anything to that.

Speaker 3: 4:56

I think that sums up the track perfectly.

Speaker 2: 4:59

Those Gillette ads were amazing right, so good, yeah, absolutely, I get two blades on my razor. Yeah, guys, just celebrating in the morning because I had a better shave Everything's going to be okay, exactly, yeah, I mean between that and Ment mentos like the 90s just were full of joy on the commercial airwave space. You know, like people solving problems. Fresh shaves is great.

Speaker 1: 5:25

It's great now it's all the uh now. It's all the pharmaceutical ads oh my god, it's like yeah, I mean, my kids are like dad.

Speaker 3: 5:32

Should I take sky rizzy, like look at how much fun they're having and I'm like I don't, I don't know what it's for, but you're kind of right, but I think we should avoid it.

Speaker 1: 5:43

I think this is the doctor's call. I don't think it's my call, yeah.

Speaker 2: 5:46

Yeah, absolutely. That's so funny. The jingles are really like Ozempic sometimes gets stuck in my head, holy moly. But no, it was a good track. Yeah, I really liked it. I liked the vibe of it. I'm excited for them just kind of doing this throwback sound and still with his awesome, unique voice that has always stood out over all their discography. So it was cool, it was interesting.

Speaker 1: 6:08

All right. Well, speaking of great vocals, I love this first pick by you. It is the Emptiness Machine by Linkin Park.

Speaker 2: 6:16

Yeah, oh my gosh. This is one I've just literally had on repeat and I cannot wait for the rest of this album to come out. So you know the sad news. Obviously, in 2017, chester Bennington passed away, and so they've been, you know, more or less obviously like on a hiatus, but they did some re-releases. You know they celebrated their 20th anniversary, I think, of Meteoria, which is an incredible album, and so you know they they're doing something different, right, like they.

Speaker 2: 6:41

They replaced the vocals and then they also added Emily Armstrong, and I think she just gives something to this band that is incredible. You know they still have that Linkin Park sound, but then her voice here is just unbelievable. It kind of gives me. It reminds me of Evanescence in that regard. You know you have this like hard rock sound, but then you've got this like beautiful female vocal lead on it, and so, yeah, it just works so well. I think the song rocks like it's great. It's obviously a little different. You know, whenever you're going to replace the lead vocals of any band, like it's not going to sound exactly like you remember them, but in this case, I think it's a really interesting pivot and, like I said, I just can't wait to hear the rest of it.

Speaker 1: 7:25

Yeah, I was kind of interested when this track came on. I didn't know what to expect and I didn't even realize they had added Emily Armstrong to the mix. So I love the Evanes evidence evidence comparison. I think that's pretty apt. But also, like you know, you forget Chester Bennington kind of had a higher register on his voice, right. So it does kind of work with Emily Armstrong, cause there was even a moment there at the beginning where I was like are they like using some AI and kind of recreating his voice?

Speaker 1: 7:56

I actually had a couple of moments like that where I thought they were working that in there and and they're not, I think she just does a great job of kind of fitting into the band. They still have that, like you said, same energy, same sound, right, but it's just a different day. Yeah, I mean, I, I really I really liked it and it was a very surprising thing for me. I wasn't sure what to expect. And you know, we just did the Van Halen retrospective recently and it's like that's one where they changed lead singers and to some degree it went really well, obviously with Sammy Hagar, but then, like you bring in Gary Cherone and I think they even had a fourth lead singer and it just doesn't work right. Like it's really hard to replace your lead singer, and I'm kind of excited too to see what a whole album looks like.

Speaker 2: 8:42

Yeah, exactly Me too. I can't wait. All right next track um one that I wish I had picked. Honestly, this is this is a great one. This is don't keep me waiting. By pete yorn.

Speaker 1: 8:52

yes, god, that feels good whenever I get one. By the way, there's one later that I was gonna get into and then just left alone because I knew you would pick it. So, um, we'll get to that one. But yeah, pete yorn has been around for a long time. This is off of a new album called the hard way and, um mean, just I listened to this one three or four times, just because he's such a great storyteller and just the way this kind of comes about, and I think that's what you know. I was thinking about this. There's so many TV shows now that people are like you got to watch this. Okay, oh, there's only seven seasons. Okay, it's 22 episodes a season, but by season three, like you're going to be hooked right, like just invest 70 hours of your life. And I think what I love about music is I'm like Pete Yorn just told me a really great story and it was four minutes right.

Speaker 3: 9:45

Like I don't need to wait until season three for Pete Yorne to kind of get me and I go back and listen to it several times and still got to get some new things from it.

Speaker 1: 9:56

But yeah, such a great storyteller and this one, you know, it's almost like a relationship that I don't know, maybe a little bit illicit, like I kind of. The third time around I was like, oh, something, something not, maybe not right is going on here, but maybe it is right. Um, but that's what, uh, I don't know. I think the fact that there's a little bit of ambiguity there makes it, makes it part of a great story. So, yeah, and then the whole album here, I think, is just really strong, so definitely worth checking out yeah, I really love pete yorn.

Speaker 2: 10:26

um, this one missed my radar, so I'm really happy that you had this on the mix. I think his vocals are always just so soft and emotional. As you said, he's a great storyteller on that, though on the lyrics. So I try to listen to it first and then jump into the lyrics and honestly, I thought he was singing. So he sings like I'll be here, don't keep me waiting. Right, and he sings it in such a quick way that don't keep me waiting. That what my brain was hearing is I'll be here, effing waiting, you know, like full, not not I'm. I'm censoring myself and saying that. I thought you know he was saying the whole words and I was like, wow, that dramatically would change the the vibe of this song. Right, like it goes like from this kind of sweet thing of like oh, don't keep me waiting, I'm here to like, hey, come on, like, hurry up.

Speaker 1: 11:17

Enough, already, hurry it up yeah.

Speaker 2: 11:20

No, I thought that was, you know, odd for him, because normally he's not that aggressive in songs.

Speaker 1: 11:27

Well, I'm glad you took a look at the lyrics, because I feel like your take on the song would be very different it would, yeah, and then obviously, the title of the song should have been a giveaway as well. But here we are all right, this next track. Not surprising that this ended up here. Uh, if this guy has a new album, he's's going to appear on a new music mix. This is Colorful State by Kishi Bashi.

Speaker 2: 11:53

Yeah, exactly, I'm a huge Kishi Bashi fan. I one time reached out to him on Instagram and he replied and I was so thrilled about that. It's always fun when, when the artists actually reply and you're like, but no, I mean, yes, you're exactly right, any new music from him, I'm gonna throw it on a mix and I'm gonna obviously love it. I really like the energy of this song, the build-up to it, um, you know a huge fan of just his, his sound, like, I think, all of his music, because of his orchestral work, like the violin playing, and you know just the way he mixes kind of like these classical instruments into it, just has a cinematic quality to it and just gives it that power. And then you add that to you know his like voice, which is just so kind of like I don't know. His voice is just interesting, it's very tender and it works really well with um, with his music style.

Speaker 1: 12:49

So all together I love it and this is a really cool track yeah, I think, uh, you know the, the vocals are almost overshadowed, I think, in this case by the background. Like I just love the sound of this one and it's really interesting. You talk about the orchestral stuff that he does because he's coming to dallas soon. He's playing kind of a smaller venue and I'm almost curious to see like, okay, what instruments does he bring out Versus which ones are just done electronically? So I don't know, may try to get to that show, just because it's going to be really interesting. I don't know, I'm just kind of fascinated. It would be really cool if he brought out the whole orchestra and if he hasn't done that yet, I.

Speaker 2: 13:30

If he hasn't done that yet, I think that would be awesome to see live. Yeah, I've heard he puts on a really great live show, so if you get a chance to go and it's not too much, I would recommend it all. Right well, track number five great. Another great pick.

Speaker 1: 13:39

This mix is awesome this is coincidence by sabrina carpenter yeah, I feel like this year I've heard and maybe because my daughter's 11 years old, I've heard a lot of Sabrina Carpenter and Chapel Roan it's another young lady we hear a lot of on the radio and Chapel Roan's album came out in April. So I was like, can I go back that far and pick something for a new music mix? You know, maybe, but Sabrina Carpenter, this was a little bit more recent, so I decided to go with this one. You know, they're both very much like pop stars, right, like it's a lot of just top 40 type fodder um and I don't say fodder in like a negative sense, but it is kind of designed to to kind of hit the billboard charts, um.

Speaker 1: 14:22

Sabrina carpenter her big single is espresso. That's been like everywhere this summer. But this one kind of stood out to me because it was just not. It just wasn't that pop music-y at all, right, and just more straightforward, a little bit more almost borderline rock music. And I feel like, if someone's not, I'm sure there are listeners out there who are very much against something that's going to be in the top 40, right, sure yeah.

Speaker 1: 14:48

And they want something different. And I think this is something where you can kind of get introduced to this artist and and it's not necessarily like that so and I think her songwriting is really clever as well. So just overall just really good stuff and I think definitely worth checking, you know, listening to.

Speaker 2: 15:06

Yeah, I really liked this song. Um, you know, to your point earlier about storytelling in just a couple of minutes, I think this does that very well. Like you, you immediately know what this is all about. Um, you know, like her, like an ex ending or like a partner ending up with their ex, even though they like denied ever doing that or being interested in this person ever again. But here they are. Like I love the line here where she sings in the bridge what a surprise. Your phone just died. Your car drove itself from la to her thighs, which is like so good. Such a burn there. Um, but no, it's, it's awesome. Yeah, I think it's. It's a really interesting. I mean it's a different song, um, in that regard, and it almost reminded me of like something like olivia rodrigo would write and release. You know, like I feel like there's a lot of crossover there, especially on the topic of just kind of X's and what a pain they can be. So I thought this was really good.

Speaker 1: 15:59

All right, track six I was not familiar with this band.

Speaker 2: 16:01

This is the Coin Op Guillotine by Los Campesinos um, and it was like it was a great song and I then, you know, listened to them forever and then, just kind of like they got buried in my music library and then I never heard them again, right, and so then, um, it's just that happens, and so then this got reintroduced to me through the all-knowing algorithm and I got very excited that they um, had some music and just really like this track.

Speaker 2: 17:09

Like I think you know, it's like this whole idea of what they're singing about is you're kind of like you have to like work to to live in our life, but unfortunately, like oftentimes, that work drains you of your life. So it's like you're you're kind of putting coins in the coin operated guillotine, like you are just setting yourself up to die, but like you need the coins to operate it. So you know the coins to operate it. So you know really fun little vicious cycle there that they're singing about in this very uptempo kind of energetic way, which is great. So I think that that's why they're really fun and I remember that's similar to why I liked them all those years ago as well.

Speaker 1: 17:42

Yeah, that is an interesting, yeah kind of kind of a downer. Actually, now that I've heard that, I was like, oh, what a fun, this is a fun band, you know. And then I hear that and I'm like, well, maybe, maybe they're not as fun, but I do. I do love the sound that they produce. It's, you know, very much kind of reminded me of something from like the early 2000s, almost like an All-American Rejects or someone you know along those lines. But yeah, I think that is kind of clever. I did love the title just alone, coin op guillotine. And now that you've explained it I'm like that's, that's pretty clever, but that right.

Speaker 2: 18:16

Yeah, dark and clever. Yes, I really like it. It's perfect. It's perfect for me. It's like my vibe um all right, a another really great track here, number seven bells and whistles by bright eyes yeah, bright eyes, similar to Pete Yorn.

Speaker 1: 18:31

They've been around for a long time. They've produced a lot of music, probably songs that people have heard of but maybe didn't know the band. But this one's great because I just love this one. How it comes together in sort of a list of advice about lessons that I'm guessing they've probably learned the hard way, about lessons that I'm guessing they've probably learned the hard way, and sort of the line they keep coming back to is fancy, cheap thrills cost a lot, right, and probably in more ways than simply the price tag. But I also thought you'd appreciate the line that you shouldn't place bets on the New York Mets.

Speaker 2: 19:06

I did, and I was going to call that out because they're right there, Matt. They are tied with the Braves for the last wildcard spot. Prior to last night, they were on an eight-game winning streak, which is incredible. Right, and it finally snapped last night, but still eight games this late in the season is pretty awesome.

Speaker 1: 19:27

So maybe you're saying we can go against this, we can make a bet on the New York Mets this year.

Speaker 2: 19:32

Look, I'm not going to tell anyone to do that, though, but you've got to believe.

Speaker 1: 19:41

No doubt, no doubt. I think Bright Eyes is not a believer. I think they're out, but I'm sure there's plenty of other fans out there who are, who are all in on the mess.

Speaker 2: 19:52

No, but this was a great track and I thought the lyric writing was very clever. I also enjoyed the line U-turns and limousines, because that is just a hilarious image, right? If you've ever seen a limousine, try to take a U-turn, especially like in New York. Oh my God, like why do people bother? Trying to drive in a limo in new york? You're not going to get anywhere. It's like watching a semi try to navigate these streets. It's hilarious, so it's great. I really enjoy that all right.

Speaker 1: 20:17

Track eight I kind of referenced this earlier as a track that I thought about checking out, but then I was like you know what? This is going to show up on the mix, so I I don't need to bring it to the mix. This is who you Are parentheses Superstar by Big Sean.

Speaker 2: 20:33

Yeah, I had a guess. The second you said that earlier in the recording that this was going to be the one where you could have also put this on. So, yeah, we are big Big Sean fans here at Super Awesome Mix. Actually, it's funny, I credit I think it was a season one or two guest Roll with Steph where she mentioned that she loved Big Sean and ever since she said that, I've been like listening to him more and I think he just makes great, great tracks, and this is yet another entry in that long list of music that I really like from him.

Speaker 2: 21:01

I you know it's funny sometimes you want to pour over the lyrics and like obsess over them, and other times you just want to listen to the music. And this is one of those ones where I just want to listen to the music because I love the baseline. I just think they're so perfect for like blasting on like high bass headphones or a speaker set and, yeah, it's just great, like I can pop this on, just feel you know, nice and confident and just enjoy, enjoy the sound of it all. So that's why I threw this on this mix yeah, this is a great track.

Speaker 1: 21:31

Yeah, I mean not surprising um at all, but yeah, I mean it's a great rap song. But then it's also kind of I mean there's a little bit of sweetness to this, right like he's very much praising this uh, I'm assuming woman in his life and uh, yeah, I don't know, it's just really well done because it's still kind of a cool rap song all at the same time, which I don't think you see a lot of.

Speaker 2: 21:54

Yeah, absolutely, I agree. All right, this one was a surprising, surprising track to listen to and we'll get into it. This is Nosedive by Post Malone and it features the vocals of Lainey Wilson.

Speaker 1: 22:07

Yeah, so Post Malone decided to put out a country album. Yeah, so post malone decided to put out a country album. Okay, and it is titled f1 trillion, which is a play on the uh, very popular series of trucks that ford sells. Right, the ford f-150, I think, is the most popular selling truck in the country. But this is ford f1 trillion, or f1 trillion by post malone, and he's got a bunch of duets on there.

Speaker 1: 22:29

So there's a couple that have been on the radio quite a bit, one with Morgan Wallen and one with Blake Shelton, but I decided to pick this one because I didn't think it was as country, so I thought I can maybe get you in on it, okay, even though it does have a little bit of twang to it. But also, just, it really shows off. Post Malone is such a good vocalist and I think maybe that sails past people sometimes because some of his songs are a little silly and I just thought this would highlight that and it's just a great song about you know he's literally referring to a nosedive, a downturn maybe in life, and how there's some beauty or positivity that you could take out of it. So, um, and laney wilson is is awesome.

Speaker 2: 23:15

I think I've put her on the mix before, and so it was great to see the two of them come together yeah, I think this is a really, really nice duet between the two of them, like it just they work very well together in the same track.

Speaker 2: 23:26

Her voice is beautiful, um, and I I was sold on this because of the topic. Like I love the line every thorn has its rose, which obviously is a flip on. You know, every rose has its thorns and I love that. I love that perspective that, like you can find beauty even in things that are hard right, and that's kind of the ultimate test of perseverance is like you are going to be challenged, you're going to go through tough things, but can you find like some light in that, can you figure out, like well, because of that, it helped me do this and I grew from it, et cetera, et cetera. So I really liked the messaging here on top of the, just the vocals and both of their voices together. And, yeah, it was surprising, it was surprising to me that, a he was doing a country track right or a country album, and b that I would actually enjoy this one. So here we are I'll take it.

Speaker 1: 24:17

I think it's a victory for me. That's what I feel like yeah yeah, um, all right, then another band that I believe you've connected with on social media before and, uh, you're a big fan of theirs, so, so this is Feel by the Heavy Heavy.

Speaker 2: 24:31

I have. Yes, they were another one that actually replied back, which was very exciting. And they, yeah, like they're great, like this is a new album of theirs. I loved their. They're probably my favorite discovery from last year in terms of just like bands that I continue to listen to after I threw them on a mix last year and they just have this throwback rock sound and they just keep doing more of the same and I'm here for it. You know, like it's just really nice to have this like infectious throwback sound. I think they're like a band that is perfect for putting on an album and just letting it play while you do whatever right, like you could be cooking, cleaning, hanging out with friends, like just kind of enjoying life, especially as the weather cools down and, you know, you get some of those nice fall days that are just like perfect with the blue skies and the nice crisp air. So I think it's a really nice album from that perspective and, again, I just love their throwback sound and that they're leaning into that.

Speaker 1: 25:28

Yeah, they're like a combination of funk and classic rock. I love the bass line on this one. You really hear the bass guitar quite a bit, and then there's some organ usage here, which is awesome. I mean, the whole thing kind of reminded me of Jefferson Airplane, the 70s one Not that we built this city Jefferson Starship, the older, cooler stuff. Starship like yeah, the, the older, cooler stuff, um, so yeah, I mean that just that alone, like I I really enjoyed. And then, uh, they bring their voices to it as well. So, yeah, I mean they're, they're just I. I totally agree with what you just said, that they're just a great band to kind of just listen to and you can kind of roll through their album pretty quickly and maybe not even realize it all right, and so let's get on to your last pick of the mix track, number 11.

Speaker 2: 26:14

This is Clear Sky After Storm by RZA and, I believe, also featuring the Colorado Symphony.

Speaker 1: 26:20

Yes, and the Colorado Symphony is conducted by Christopher Dragon. Here RZA is one of the founding members of the Wu-Tang Clan and obviously has made a name for himself in the rap world, and while he was just writing music, I think a couple of years back, decided like something clicked where he felt like the music and even the power of dance could convey a story without words. And so he decided to sit down and write a ballet and it was actually performed about a year ago and this is the album version of that ballet with the Colorado Symphony. We don't have a lot of, you know, orchestral, just purely orchestral music on the mix very often, but this was such a departure that I thought it had to be highlighted here. It sounds amazing and you can listen to the whole album and it's really cool.

Speaker 1: 27:21

And I haven't seen the ballet, I haven't seen the video that goes with it, but I think just hearing the music I think you could tell like what kind of story and what kind of you know dramatic twists it takes at different times. But yeah, just kind of a testament to the musical talent here that he can just sort of cross over into something like this. I know you know Billy Joel, after producing a lot of pop albums for years, kind of shifted gears and started to do more, more piano, concerto type things and having someone else play it, like he was writing music, like that. But I feel like that's a little closer to what we know Billy Joel for In this case, having RZA do it was I mean just I was just floored that that this is what he had produced, so I had to include it on the mix.

Speaker 2: 28:11

Here I was just floored that that this is what he had produced, so I had to include it on the mix here. Yeah, that's really cool. I, I wasn't aware of that um context and I I want to go back and listen to this track knowing that his goal was to like write something, you know, that tells a story without lyrics, because I could see that, you know now from my memory of listening to it, like clear sky after storm, like the song works really well because it has like this kind of build up and then it gets quiet again and it just kind of I could see it kind of telling that story of like a storm rolling through and making a lot of noise and then it leaves and you're left with like the quiet and peace after a storm. So I really like that. I thought it was a beautiful instrumental track and certainly very different, for you know the types of songs we frequently pick. So really nice, nicely done.

Speaker 1: 28:55

All right, let's bring it home, track 12. This is Can't Hold Me Down and it is by Lil Wayne, lil Yachty, pharrell Williams and features Doodles and Kyle Rich.

Speaker 2: 29:07

Yes, so many great collaborators on this track. This is off of Williams' upcoming album, which I believe is going to be called Dellsville and the Doodleverse, which is so good, so good. On album name alone I'm excited. Especially the intro is exactly what I would expect it to be, with these guys on the track. Right like a little yachty is known for a lot of like experimental sounds, like Pharrell Williams is known for just like catchy things. And little Wayne, great rapper. So all these, all these human beings coming together and producing this track is like exactly what I expected it to be, which is awesome. Um, so much energy on this track. Like a really bass heavy track again has this like stomping energy to it in a way like you just kind of feel like it's like just stomping, like you know, you just want to run around and walk heavy with it. So I really enjoyed that and just thought it was a very interesting kind of eclectic track.

Speaker 1: 30:05

Yeah, you mentioned the beginning of it.

Speaker 1: 30:07

I thought something was wrong with with my phone as it was playing Because I was like, wait, why is it? But I kept seeing the time pass by, so I was like, okay, give it a second here, give it a second. And then I don't know if it was about 45 seconds or a minute in when the bass kicks in and then it's just like, wow, just amazing energy from this one. And, yeah, I thought about high school Sammer just rolling around with the giant speakers in the back and I was like God, he definitely would have blown out some speakers with a song like this.

Speaker 2: 30:39

Yeah, exactly, I'm a bass junkie. I've said it many times before and I'm still here for it. It's great.

Speaker 1: 30:47

But this was a great song. It's not a bass-heavy song in the sense that it overpowers the rest of the track. Honestly, it just kind of got me fired up. So it was really cool, I think, to follow the symphonic track 11 with something like this to just kind of bring it home and end on a high note.

Speaker 2: 31:06

I agree. Yeah, like the kind of duality of these two tracks next to each other is just the really the joyful part about music is just how wildly different music can be and still kind of sit in the same mix together is really fun.

Speaker 1: 31:19
