you next me [Music] thank you so much thank you it's really uh it's been fun to to tear these songs kind of down and strip them down to to their core that's actually how we write songs is it starts in a very uh stripped down raw way so it's either with a a piano or a guitar and a vocal that that chord progression kind of tapping into what the story is and what the feeling is and then trying to serve it in the studio has always been our B but uh there's something uh something that we always find out by stripping it down in that way um and so this is a beautiful thing to be able to start this record doing the songs this way we're going to do another song for you this is that was our first time playing fire in these Hills actually and stripping it down like that and this will be our first time this will be our first time playing uh take me to the beach and we're also going to do this in a strip down fun way so before we do this one I I actually this is these are these are new songs to your to I'm guessing almost all of you unless you've heard it somewhere or if it's been leaked and if you have it because it's been late shame on but we're actually not that mad about that wherever you listen to this but uh I had Napster and I had lime wire you remember lime Wire yeah I was doing all the illegal downloads let me tell you um so the chorus on this if you guys want you could help us maybe sing a part because it kind of needs a gang so I'm just going to teach it to you and and if you feel comfortable you can do it it's pretty easy yeah we want okay this song's this song is really about wanting to just Escape uh Escape reality and go to the and also have an opinion about things I I I thought it took me a long time to remember that it's okay for me to have an opinion about things and I think it's important for that so so I'll show you the part okay goes so this is what you're going to [Music] do ah ah ah okay okay I'll show you now take hey hey take me to the

we've done it's maybe the saddest record too at times it's kind of I feel like it's our most uh cohesive bipolar record there's moments that are very playful like take me to the beach kid uh and then there's moments that are a little more taxing uh in your corner uh and then there's moments of there's just uh you know what at the end of the day like dragons is it's always a journal the guys have always given me free reign to write every word and Melody nobody writes our lyrics I've always written everything and it's an honest output of life and that's it and and uh to know that it's connected with people in any way has been our only goal music always brought me uh it made me feel less alone even if I never met the person I felt connected through the emotion and through the music music and I felt as if I knew them I felt as if I knew the people around me that's our only goal here thank you so much for being with us we'll see you uh we'll see you on the road for the guys oh I was just
