Speaker 1: 0:43

Welcome back to another Super Awesome Mix. My name is Matt Siddholm, alongside my co-host and co-founder of Super Awesome Mix, Sam Abusalbi. Sam, how are we doing this week? I am doing well. How are you? I am doing well. How are you? I am doing great. We have finally broken through the terrible winter weather that has afflicted the state of Texas this year, and we're well into spring.

Speaker 2: 1:06

Amazing. Yeah, I guess you guys had a couple of strings of days there where it was more snow in certain areas and then we had two super cold days, like things were frozen and stuff, um, yeah so, yeah.

Speaker 1: 1:25

So a good four days of winter, and I think I hit my limit, and so now I'm ready to move on to warmer weather well, it'll be there in no time if it's not already there.

Speaker 2: 1:39

You know we're like around 70.

Speaker 1: 1:41

This is like the nice time of the year, like if you're going to come to Texas, it's like come now, because it's in the 70s. It's nice. And yeah, in a couple months, like right around May, we'll start getting the 90 plus consistently every day, and then it just gets hotter from there. So you know, yeah, every day and then it just gets hotter from there.

Speaker 2: 1:58

So you know, yeah, yeah, that's how it goes.

Speaker 1: 1:59

That's how it goes, but you know, it's march and uh, we've got new music, more new music, so much great new music yes, um, and as I told you via text, I I think you won this mix.

Speaker 2: 2:12

If, if this was ever a competition, I really really liked your picks. They were excellent thank you.

Speaker 1: 2:17

Thank you. I felt really good about them, like while I was, and I even cut a couple, like I had a couple more. So it was like this yeah, it felt, felt good, felt good going into it and so it was good to get that feedback for sure. But you know, listeners, you tell us okay. So once it's all said and done, at super awesome mix, hit us up, let us know if there's more new music out there that we missed. We know there's just. I mean, as we say all the time, there's just so much. It's just a constant stream. No pun intended there's so much.

Speaker 2: 2:45

yes, well, there's no better segue than to get into the mix right there, because I'm not going to be able to top that pun and it is your first pick. First one on the mix. It is Killa by Lady Gaga Featuring. I'm going to mess this up. Gessifelstein, felstein, I'm going to give you that.

Speaker 1: 3:07

Yeah, that's true. I'm just glad I kind of grabbed this one just so you couldn't, because I didn't want to pronounce that. Well done. Yeah, I couldn't because I didn't want to pronounce that. Well, yeah, I didn't even like the song I was just like. I just don't want to pronounce that name yeah, you're operating at a new level now.

Speaker 2: 3:22

This is great all right.

Speaker 1: 3:26

Lady Gaga's got a new album. It's called Mayhem um and she recently hosted and was musical guest on Saturday Night Live and this was her her second song and just from the moment it started I was like whoa, what is this? You know Abracadabra is the one that's getting a lot of radio airplay right now, but she played this one as her second song and you know part of it, with Lady Gaga, with everything is like the performance so right. You know I always watch her on Saturday Night Live or any of the other shows that she'll do, just because it's like this isn't her full-on concert, like this is just what she's doing for five minutes and it's like this seems so intricate. Did you have to rehearse like 5,000 hours just for this performance? But no, it was.

Speaker 1: 4:12

I immediately got drawn into this song and then you listen to the album and it's really strong. It's really just kind of classic Lady Gaga. You know she's done albums where it's more focused on her vocals and then she does kind of more just like dance music like this, and I feel like this had a real 80s kind of anthem vibe to it, which which I loved and kind of maybe drew me in a little bit more given the age that I am, but I just listening to the whole new album. I think it's really strong and I think it's going to lead to a really fun tour for her.

Speaker 2: 4:45

Yeah, she is an amazing performer. No doubt she's really really strong in that department. I agree with you. And yeah, I agree with the throwback sound. My first note here is that this one just gave me very strong Madonna vibes.

Speaker 1: 4:57

Yes, yes with the throwback sound.

Speaker 2: 4:58

My first note here is that this one just gave me very strong Madonna vibes, which a lot of her earlier stuff kind of did that too, and I think that a lot of people looked at her as kind of this generation's Madonna and it seems like she's going back to that kind of sound of this album. So this is a very easy track to bop to. As I wrote here too, it just has a really good dancey vibe. Um, and yeah, I really like I, I like the song a lot, so nice pick to start out the mix all right now.

Speaker 1: 5:22

I loved your first pick. This was probably my favorite of of your picks this week, this, uh, this month, but it is like a lullaby by third eye blind yeah, good old third eye blind still producing music, um, which is awesome.

Speaker 2: 5:35

Stephen jenkins wrote this one and obviously he's the vocals of the band, as we discussed on our intro to Third Eye Blind mix many, many mixes ago. But yeah, I, you know I'm similar to a track that you have later on. If this, if there's a band that's going to produce new music, I'm going to put it on the new music mix. This is one of them and so, obviously, the second I I hit play. I think I was like four seconds into it. I was like, well, that's going on the mix. I mean, I don't even need to hear the whole song, um, and but I did listen to the whole song, matt, I promise you I did.

Speaker 1: 6:08

You're not just yeah, you're not just slapping this together at the last minute. That's not.

Speaker 2: 6:13

That's not your style that's not the super awesome way. Um, this is, uh, yeah, it's a very sweet song. Um it's. I love him doing softer acoustic stuff, which this kind of has that, and because I just think he's he's always had such an interesting voice and so whenever his voice takes more of the spotlight, like in this song, um it's just it works really well. So really really like it. You know, has that classic kind of build-up, classic Third Eye Blind sound to it. But the lyrics, the presentation of it, all of it. I really enjoyed this track.

Speaker 1: 6:43

Yeah, what was cool about this one? If you go back and listen to the intro to Third Eye Blind, we talk about how they are so good at writing music and songs about dysfunctional relationships and goodness knows there's plenty of dysfunctional father-son relationships out there but I love this one for just being the complete opposite of that. And it was just this very sweet song that you know this songwriter is writing to his you know soon-to-be son, or unborn son, I don't know. You know you take what you want from it, um, but obviously a child that doesn't fully know him yet, and I think that's I don't know. I just thought it was really cool to hear him do a song like this and not something that, like you know, kind of in the vein of Third Eye Blind. That's maybe, you know, a little bit more dysfunctional Now. In 15 years he may write a very different song about his son, but for now I think we can can embrace the sweetness yeah, it'll be called like I was wrong or something and it'll just be a rejection of his son.

Speaker 2: 7:47

You were nothing like I hoped we'll be able to add that to our next father's day volume too, yes, exactly all right, well. Track number three this one, funny enough, is my favorite of your mix. Um, just hands down, there's no competition.

Speaker 1: 8:07

This was Decepticon by Lexi Liu yeah, lexi Liu is a Chinese singer, rapper and songwriter. I thought this was such a great pop song so I was a little surprised that I'm not hearing it on the radio more and maybe it'll come. It kind of reminded me of that Rosé song, the Appa Tappa you know, with Bruno Mars, right, like it was kind of in that same vein. Now it's actually a cover song. It's originally a song by a band called La Tigre.

Speaker 1: 8:35

It's originally a song by a band called La Tigre which came out in Drumroll Please 1999, sam's favorite year for music which I wasn't familiar with the original, but when I went back and listened to it, you know same lyrics but just had a different energy to it. I love the energy in this one. I also love the kind of interpolation of the who Put the Bop song, which that who Put the Bop song is from 1957. So it's just amazing that nearly 70 years later we're still kind of like somebody's discovering that. Like, let me weave that in. I kind of wonder if Lexi Liu has any concept of that. It was just like oh, these are cool lyrics, all right, let me remake this one, right? But anyway, really, of that, it was just like oh, these are cool lyrics, all right, let me remake this one right, um, but anyway really, I mean, I just thought it was just so interesting.

Speaker 1: 9:21

Just from the jump it just kind of drew me in and I was like this this song is awesome and just very, very listenable over and over again yeah, I, I knew it sounded familiar to me, but I will.

Speaker 2: 9:32

I completely forgotten about that latigre song, um, which I had heard, and now that the second you mentioned it just now in the recording, I was like oh, of course. Um, yeah, there was something very familiar about this, but I think she does it in a really interesting and different way. Um, and it kind of reminded me of wet leg.

Speaker 2: 9:49

You know, I always like yeah yeah, think of them whenever I think of like that fun alt indie energy. Like this just has that kind of good springtime energy to it. It's just a lot of fun and it's a really easy song to just kind of turn the turn the volume up and enjoy, uh, for the several minutes that it's on.

Speaker 1: 10:05

So I really enjoyed this one all right, so let's take a hard right turn here um. Your next pick is talk by lucy dacus.

Speaker 2: 10:14

Yeah, it's so funny because the two of us unbeknownst to each other. As we've mentioned many times in the show, we make our mixes separately and then bring them together. We picked two singers from the Boy Genius Supergroup, which is so strange that that happened later, when I was taking notes on the mix and I saw the other singer that we will review in a moment, I was like, oh yeah, this was another pick that I made and I was like, wait, no, this is not. This was Matt's pick, I was so confused.

Speaker 1: 10:45

You know what's weird is, when I got your list I was like, oh, we picked the same song. He didn't even notice. And then I'm like, wait, no, no, no, that's not yeah, same. I had that same experience because I was like, wait, he can't pick Lucy Dacus. I did. I'm like no wait. I picked the other one, yeah.

Speaker 2: 11:02

So apparently, subconsciously, we both are just so sad that Boy Genius said that they're not going to do another album, and so we're picking the solo artist instead.

Speaker 1: 11:11

We're going to bring them together if they're not going to do it themselves.

Speaker 2: 11:14

We're going to do it. That's our mission this year. This is, I mean, in typical kind of her style, a very dark song. All works really well together, so I wanted to include this on the mix and, yeah, plus one to them getting back together, please, and thank you I think, uh well, the note I wrote down was because you didn't get it from your third eye blind pick.

Speaker 1: 11:56

You needed a dysfunctional relationship song, so you went with this one. This is this is her best impression of a third eye blind song, I think exactly uh, yeah, I mean everything kind of.

Speaker 1: 12:09

One thing I wrote down is everything matches in this right the lyrics, the mood, the vocals, like everything kind of ties out to where you really get like this is not, this is not going well. This relationship, this is not a song I would say you want to listen to over and over again. That's probably track three, but it's still a really well done song.

Speaker 2: 12:31

Yes, yeah, well said, all right, track number five your next pick. It is Good Lookin' by the Criticals.

Speaker 1: 12:38

Yeah, the Criticals. They are a rock band duo out of Nashville and they redid their own song. So this is actually a song from their earlier album and this is just a different version of it and it sounds just more energetic and maybe there's more meaning to it, kind of you know, five years later in their career. But also I wondered and I've never seen them live but I wondered if this was something where maybe this is how they do it live and that was just a more well-received version. It kind of got me thinking. I think bands do that a lot, where it's like the live version is nothing like the studio version and it becomes kind of more popular amongst fandom, but they never go back and necessarily kind of re-record the song.

Speaker 1: 13:24

I will go to one of my favorites, bruce Springsteen, who did kind of create a newer, an alt version of Born in the USA. Because, as I've talked about before, born in the USA is actually kind of a dark song when you listen to the lyrics. Right, it's about the mistreatment of Vietnam vets, but you know the way it was originally written and received. It was just this American anthem and he, he went back and kind of recorded a slowed down version of it and released it on kind of this. Uh, this album called tracks, which was this four CD set of of just songs that were never released. But yeah, I don't know, that's kind of what came to mind when I heard this and them just sort of remaking their own song. But it's a really fun song.

Speaker 1: 14:07

If you dig into the lyrics it almost sounds like a group that's kind of dove into the life of fame, maybe a little too hard, and now they're feeling the after effects of it. You know the line it's like like I used to be good looking, you know, and kind of right, sort of hearkening back to these fun times that they used to have. And now it's like wait, are we, are we old now? Like is this, is this still fun? Are we still still supposed to do this? So, anyway, it's a fun song, even if you just listen to it just sonically, but I I think it has a good message as well yeah it's, it's a great song.

Speaker 2: 14:42

Um, I still haven't been able to place who they remind me of, but it was something like a franz ferdinand, maybe a touch of the killers, like someone like that. Um, just kept popping up in my head. I felt like I heard their sound before, in a very good way. I really, really enjoyed this track and it made me just want to like crank it up, and I thought it was an instant mood booster for sure. So, uh, this would probably be my second favorite of yours, if we're, if we're, keeping count there, it's a good one, nice, okay.

Speaker 1: 15:09

Well, let's take another hard right. Well, not a hard right, maybe title wise right. Yeah, because this next one is called dark thoughts by little teca little. Yeah, little, little, little teca little teca little.

Speaker 2: 15:24

Yeah, um. Yes. So he is a very young and queens-based rapper. That's queens, new york city. In just case you didn't know, it's one of the boroughs of new york city, matt um I know you don't like to come up here or think about the Northeast.

Speaker 1: 15:38

How many boroughs are there? Hundreds, I mean easily.

Speaker 2: 15:45

It's unknowable Unknowable, but no, yeah, I think he was born in 2002. So that puts him in the 23 range. But what is very impressive is he's been kind of rapping and producing music since he was nine and he just started to grow and post stuff online and like. More and more people streamed his stuff, and with good reason, because he is very talented and I just really really like this track. I think it's just really catchy. It really reminds me of a Pharrell track, but Pharrell did not produce this, but it just has that feeling to it and, again, in a very good way. Pharrell is obviously very successful as a music producer and musician. So, yeah, I just really really enjoyed this track and I think it's just all the more impressive that this is basically just a kid that's been doing this his whole life and has found success doing it.

Speaker 1: 16:30

I would have been kind of blown away if you were like he wrote this when he was nine, because I was like how did he have any of these thoughts as a nine-year-old, my son's almost nine, Jeez.

Speaker 2: 16:42

Oh, that's awesome.

Speaker 1: 16:43

The beat reminded me of Justin Timberlake's rock. I think. Rock your body, kind of sounded like.

Speaker 1: 16:51

I don't know if it was sampled or not, I couldn't find anything on that, but it was just I don't know. I thought that that really like just drew me in immediately, immediately, as samples and beats often do. And then, yeah, I mean I just I was not familiar with him at all and kind of fascinated to go back and sort of dig in a little more, especially when you start that young like how good, well one, we can see how good he got, you know by the time he's just this 23-year-old how good he got.

Speaker 1: 17:20

you know by the time he's just this 23 year old, but but even more so. I'd love to just kind of listen to the evolution of it and see how much, how much better he got. And also, you know, shout out to whatever producer was like hey, this little kid is right, absolutely, yeah, that's awesome.

Speaker 2: 17:35

All right, let's move on to track number seven, the one that I literally thought I put on here and it turns out you did um, and it is sugar in the tank by julian baker and torres yeah, julian baker.

Speaker 1: 17:46

Uh, also part of boy genius. Um, you know, she's not normally country. I don't think right, I don't necessarily associate her with country, but this sure sounds like just a good country song and I don't know if you hated it because of that, but um, it's uh.

Speaker 2: 18:02

I liked this one. Okay, okay. Yeah, that's good. Yeah, I would give it like a seven or an eight out of ten on my country olympic scale.

Speaker 1: 18:09

Yeah, that's good yeah, it sounded much more countryish. So when I started to play it I did kind of do a double take and look down because I was like, oh okay, this could definitely pass on like country music radio. Now you know, I just loved it lyrically too, because it's a song about a relationship that is not perfect but I think still works. I don't think it's too dysfunctional or anything. You know the chorus. There's a line she repeats a few times you're sitting outside with the engine running waiting on me to change, which I think is I don't know. I just think it's a well-written line, like there's kind of both you can sort of imagine that scene but also just kind of symbolically what that looks like as well. So I just love how it highlights kind of the stubbornness sometimes that gets into relationships, but still the relationship can work. So it's pretty good, kind of like you get a little sugar in your tank, you can still drive that car. It's not ideal but you can still make it work.

Speaker 2: 19:12

Yeah, no, I really like it. I think the songwriting this one's very strong. It definitely, I mean, it's almost folksy in a way, not like strictly country, like I think it kind of blurs that line, um, but yes, I love for me. The line that I really like is I love you sleeping on my dead left arm which again is another line that I think immediately right.

Speaker 2: 19:32

We all have like some kind of an experience like that where someone you care about like fell asleep on you and you don't want to disturb them. Um, that could even be a pet sometimes, you know, like my dog will fall asleep on my leg and it's like really want to move my leg right now, but he's like just so happily asleep, I'm just gonna sit here like this is my life now. So, um, it's, yeah, it's very nice and I think, again, each of these lines just on their own, just conjures like very strong imagery and feelings and I think that's a sign of a really good, good songwriting agreed and for the listeners out there, you definitely want to listen to sugar in the tank, but you don't want to put sugar in your tank, okay, so check out our friends at skinny mixescom.

Speaker 2: 20:39

yeah, I got you back on that one, okay, ha ha, I have no idea how to pronounce that. Um, yeah, on and on. It is just a super catchy dance track. Um, my, I'm like all over the place with my new music picks. I actually did that on purpose. I wanted to just pick all different types of genres and everything and moods, and so if you're listening to this as like a mixtape, you're in for a wild ride.

Speaker 1: 21:04

Let me just put it that way.

Speaker 2: 21:07

Yeah, I mean it's just I found it to be really catchy and earwormy. It's a bop, you know just has like spin vibes too. We've talked a lot about how I was a former spin instructor and this could absolutely be played like in a in a spin class or remix of it. So, yeah, just really enjoyed it. I had not really listened to either of these two artists before or their music, but now I'm going to start because I just really like this and if you want a mood, pick me up and just something to kind of put on in the background while you're cleaning or doing dishes or something, I think this is kind of perfect for that.

Speaker 1: 21:38

Completely agree. I had to look down to make sure it wasn't playing at two times speed, because that's just how this one goes. I thought you know Sam is the host of Super Awesome Runner. I was like is this a good song to listen to while you're running, or maybe this might throw off your pace a little bit yeah, you know, I don't know.

Speaker 2: 21:56

I need to do the little like beats per minute um tapper just to see what it is and I can get back to you on that it seemed really fast.

Speaker 1: 22:02

I felt like I would be going too fast for me. It would be fast the pace I need to run at. I will say that got it um, but no, this one was uh, this one was great and I'm with you. It's like totally sucks you on the energy and just the, you know, even lyrically, just the, the limited lyrics it has, just going on and on and on. I was like all right, let's go, let's go, you know. So I really enjoyed it nice, all right.

Speaker 2: 22:28

Your next track, number nine it is Heartbreaker, by the Lathams.

Speaker 1: 22:40

Yeah, the Lathams are a rock band out of the UK near Manchester, really cool, kind of like rock and Brit pop vibe to them. Their lead singer, alex Moore, I think he can really sing. This is off their third album. It's matter does not define. Um.

Speaker 1: 22:53

I love finding a band where I don't have to go back too far to kind of catch up on their work it's kind of like yeah if you tell me to watch a tv show and it's in season seven, I'm probably not going to get into it because it's like that's just way too much work to catch up right but here it's like third album.

Speaker 1: 23:10

okay, I can, I could go back and listen to two other albums. This could work, um, so yeah. So I'm kind of excited to go back into that because it is a really cool combination of, um, brit pop, which which I really enjoy, and then there's just a little bit of edge to it, kind of gives it a little bit more of a of a rock rock music vibe as well.

Speaker 2: 23:30

so, yeah, really cool, really cool discovery nice, yeah, no, I really like this one. I thought the lyrics are really nice too. Just a good message for these days. Um, you know, like. One of the ones I really enjoyed is we are human, we're breathing, we're one in the same. Why do we fight? It just doesn't make sense. We got more in common than we sometimes think, and I love that, and that's something we've talked about a lot. And how music can do that too for us is like just that reminder that a lot of us share probably way more core values than we think that we do, and we all love a good track, love a good music song. You know, love a good concert and all of that. So it's nice to see that message and hopefully that can remind us every now and then to take a beat and remember that we do have more in common than than we don't all right.

Speaker 1: 24:15

Track 10 it is about to lose it by dinosaur pileup yeah.

Speaker 2: 24:20

So in the opposite direction of that. Um, this is, this is when you don't care to remember that we are one in the same and you just kind of feel like you're about to lose it. I really, really. You know there's a lot of emotions every year as things just seem to get more complicated, and I love sometimes you just got to lean into the state of just like what is going on.

Speaker 2: 24:45

I think this is a really good angry ragey song that will do that for you. So if you just need to put on some like angry loud music, definitely add this one to your mix because it's it's that for you. So if you just need to put on some like angry loud music, definitely add this one to your mix Because it's it's perfect for that. I'd love the line here where he sings like I'd say a prayer, but lately I'm like what the F, which is again just kind of that, you know he's he's talking about it from a point of view of like truly kind of meant struggling with mental health issues, issues and all that, and I appreciate that and that is something very serious. But also I think there are times when you just like you just don't even know where to begin with something Right, and I think that's a very, very natural response to dealing with anything that you're that is uncertain or new. So I just think it's a really fun song and just a high energy song in that regard.

Speaker 1: 25:30

Yeah, the guitar in the background is right off the bat sucked me in and it's something that this is what I want to listen to right before, like a game or you know an event or something right Like really gets you fired up. I love that. And then, yeah, I mean, I don't know, just you know, but when you get into the lyrics.

Speaker 1: 25:53

he's not doing great, it was one of those things where I was getting pumped up. And then when I listened to it again and I looked at the lyrics, I was like, well, okay, maybe he's going through something here this isn't just straight pump-up songs but no, in either case, I think it's well worth a listen, though, you know, because it can kind of be, cathartic in that sense, but also, you know, probably just get you fired up if you just listen to the. To the vote.

Speaker 2: 26:19

Just the sound of the sound of it. Yeah, totally yeah, I think it could work in either direction, all right. Well, this one is one of those ones. It's not a surprise that it was going to be on our new music mix. It is your last pick. It is Spaceman in Tulsa by.

Speaker 1: 26:35

Counting Crows yeah, counting Crows, with a whole new album. Okay, last year they came out with, like you know, a little EP called Butter Miracle and this is called Butter Miracle the Complete Sweets, and so they took the like four songs that were on that ep, put it on this and they they've added like five or six others. So the whole album is not out yet, but this is like the first of the new music that they put out there. Um, and yeah, spaceman and tulsa it's got a got a kind of classic counting crows sound to it.

Speaker 1: 27:07

You know, just, yes, very upbeat uh tells a really cool story about just sort of, you know, busting out of maybe a small town kind of thing and just becoming bigger, being bigger than maybe the place that you are in currently, and I just thought that was really cool. There's just a lot of energy, but also a hint of sadness, a hint of vulgarity. I mean really actually maybe more than a hint of vulgarity, but it's got it all. I don't know. I just really enjoyed this one. But, yeah, be careful if you're listening to it, the kids are probably going to get into it rhythmically and then there's going to be some bad language. So just a little warning to the parents out there.

Speaker 2: 27:50

Yeah, no, it was really good. It's a very catchy classic Counting Crows song. I like the title too because I think, as you mentioned, it's just like that sense of kind of exploring fame and how it changes us and how, probably, you know, an astronaut living in Tulsa is like someone maybe out of place, right of who you would expect to find in Tulsa, which is in, you know, oklahoma, right in the middle of the country. It's not necessarily where you would imagine astronauts to go and live, but who I don't know. Maybe you know, maybe there's a couple of spacemen, and here we are stereotyping space people living in Tulsa.

Speaker 1: 28:24

That's a great point, but are they astronauts or are they literally aliens, sam, literally aliens.

Speaker 2: 28:33

Literally from another planet. Okay, and maybe they're there to hide out okay, before they take over the world.

Speaker 1: 28:40

I'm just, it's possible. It's possible. Tell me I'm wrong, prove to me that I'm wrong, okay, you can't, I can't, I just can't. That's right, let's finish this one off. Your last pick it is Bonnet of Pins by Matt Berninger. Berninger, yeah.

Speaker 2: 29:02

Yes, of the National. If his voice sounded familiar, that is where it's from. He's got a solo album coming out. I mean it's funny when you can kind of get a sense of like okay, well, this is where the sound of the band comes from. You know, like sometimes like solo artists kind of break out and it's very different than the band that they're in, and other times you're like right, like this is basically a national like song, in both mood and just obviously his voice is very distinct and all of that. But I just think he's a really good storyteller through music and this is just a really good track, and so I'll definitely be listening to the album whenever it comes out.

Speaker 1: 29:42

Yeah, I didn't recognize this one just by his name. But then the second he started singing I was like oh, I know this guy, right, yeah, which is funny because I remember Dave Matthews put out a solo album at one point and it sounded just like Dave Matthews band albums, you know. And obviously he just dropped the one word, the band word, but it's like it's the same thing where it's like you, you know, probably most people couldn't tell you whether, oh, that's a solo track versus that's the whole band and kind of similar thing. Here you could have told me this was by the National and I I would have, I would have bought in.

Speaker 1: 30:18

But I think the greatest compliment I could give them is that I like to look at the lyrics as I'm listening to the song, because I think he tells such a great story, and so I'm usually listening very intently to his music because I just love the way he puts songs together, and in this, the lyric that said I thought I'd find you much quicker than this. You must've thought I didn't exist for you, which I think is such a cool line because, like I didn't meet my wife until I was in my thirties and it does become. You know not that thirties are super old, but, like here in Texas, a lot of people get married in their twenties right and so it is something where it's like that.

Speaker 1: 30:53

that line just stood out to me, that it was like you must have thought I didn't exist, you know and I don't know. I just, I just really love that. So, yeah, another, another great song, not surprising because he's an amazing songwriter.

Speaker 2: 31:07

I really like that, I think. I think you're not wrong, though At 30s you were going to be sent out to pasture real soon. I think that was going to be it for you.

Speaker 1: 31:15

In the South, you know it. Yeah, you grew up down here, sam, you know.

Speaker 2: 31:23

Yeah, you're supposed to meet your high school sweetheart and then you're supposed to get married right out of high school, or maybe out of college at the latest. I mean so many guys I went to high school with. It's like their kids are like in college or out of college and I'm like what I was like my kid's in second grade what are you doing? It's so strange. Right? That's awesome.

Speaker 1: 31:42

All right. Well, there you have it, some new music this time for the month of March. We have got plenty of new music and other mixes to get to, so Sam and I will get to work on that. So, for Sam, this is Matt, and we'll see you next time.
