Transcripts For KQED Charlie Rose 20161231

To be there. My heres, George Martin, quincy jones, they have decades and decades of making great music. Maybe i have a best seven to eight years of having made records that could be considered important or that people like, but i just its all i want to do and just get better as a producer and arranger and t do that. When i touch the piano, its like being woken from a dream, and you kind of remember the abstracted sounds of your imagination, but this is a reallife, physical thing. It has hammers, it has strings, it was built. So you are translating yourself, you are kind of translating your soul through these physical objects. Rose conversations with musicians when we continue. Rose funding for charlie rose has been provided by the following and by bloomberg, a provider of multimedia news and Information Services worldwide. Captioning sponsored by Rose Communications from our studios in new york city, this is charlie rose. Rose Sturgill Simpson is here, the grammynominated kentucky native is winning over audiences and earning the respect of country legends. His hardedged Country Sound paired with his existential sirrics have many calling him the new face of old country. The late Merle Haggard said, as far as im concerned, hes the only one out there. Simpsons latest album and mange label debut is called a sailors guide to earth. Here he is performing the single all around you. In our studio. There will be dont be afraid life is unkind you can let go of the pain if you choose to cause time slips away skies fall apart it aint too hard a universal heart glowing, flowing, all around you sphoo and there will be nights that go on forever like youre longlost at sea never to be found just know in your heart that were always together and long after im gone ill still be around cause our bond is eternal and so is love god is inside you all around you and up above glowing, flowing, all around you cause time slips away skies fall apart it aint too hard a universal heart you rose i am pleased to have Sturgill Simpson at this table for the first time, and its about time. Welcome. Thank you. Rose its good to have you. Pleasure and honor. Rose well, especially this. Tell me what this represents. Well, okay, its a lot of hard work, but i found the reward from hard work is you get to do more hard work. Rose yes, i can tell you that. Yeah, thats the direct outcome of a year and a half plus on the road promoting my previous record and being away from home and my wife and a newborn son at the time and sort of balancing the fact that my dreams were coming true, and it was providing for my family, but, at the same time, it is a little bittersweet just because things took off all at the same time that my family was forming. I feel like i missed a lot of that. Rose you missed something because something you dreamed of was happening. Yes. So that was sort of a heartfelt apology thank you to my wife and son for allowing me to be an artist. Rose i love the cover, too. Thank you very much. Rose how would you characterize what you represent, to have people like Merle Haggard and others saying what theyre saying . Its almost like, heres the real deal, thank you very much. I dont know that i necessarily am making a focused effort to represent anything, i just know that when we go into a studio or i try to write songs, i guess honesty and trying to represent the Human Experience from my perspective as undiluted as possible. Rose and what was the dream . Just to make music for a living. I get to go around the world and play music for people. Rose thats what you do. Thats a reality now. Thats what i do. I didnt realize that was a dream. My wife pointed it out, i had been a hoppiest me musician untl the last four or five years. Rose as an add vocation. Cathartic release. I had written songs as a teenager, but i dont want to say i have said im not a very ambitious person, but i dont think thats the reason it didnt happen. I just didnt know how to start or go act pursuing that, because it is an industry where you do sort ofnoy how to goat a foot in the door. Rose and you werent asking. I wasnt asking, no. She stopped me one night and said, you know, youre pretty good at this, and i know you love it, so why dont you try to do something with it . Rose do what you love, is what they all say. Right. And i always worked menial odd jobs. I had, i guess, a strong work ethic, so the oakd i was able to apply that to something i love, everything fell in place. Rose not everybody can write songs like you. There is no school other than life. No school. Rose it was life. Yeah is that and maybe a poets vision. Maybe, to be honest, i probably write poetry more than songs. I have to figure out how to put them to music once we get in the tude owe. But the expression in the words is really where it all starts. Rose when they compare you to waylon jennings, you say, thats fine, ill take that. Ill take it. Its funny to me because there are probably two or three other people in my mind, if i was trying to emulate anybody, but thats what comes out, i guess theres a resonant tel tembre. I guess there is worse things than saying you sound like waylon jennings. Rose were there people who said you have a quality to your voice early on . Friends of mine would give me flack in my early 20s because i wasnt playing or doing anything wit. They said we would rather listen to you han half the shows we go to. Rose and then your wife was the one to convince you to do it. And it culminated a point in my life where i was working at a job in the railroad, went from conductor, yard master, all the way up to the Operations Supervisor for the whole facility and, you know, but i realized i wasnt fulfilled and i was really burned out and 80hour weeks and i hit a point where this cant be it, you know, and she saw that, luckily, before i did and sort of pushed me and bought a little 12track recorder for me to start making recordings at home. Rose you take exception of being labeled a poster boy for traditional country, with names of traditional country people. Sure. Rose its almost like you like the outlaw. I just like not having rules. Rose or making them. I like to be able to go from one project to the next without somebody saying you know what you ought to do, or maybe you shouldnt do that. Rose yeah, or saying this is where you fit, go fit. Yeah, and all of those guys we get compared to, my heros, they were pushing boundaries, they were trying to take especially merle was a very elastic musician, he would go a lot of Different Directions and incorporate a lot of different musical styles into the guise of country music. So i dont think im breaking ground here. Rose but you say you describe your sound as having dirt and grime and life sauce. Yeah, life sauce. Rose whats the life sauce . Just the wrinkles and scars. I like things to have a cohesive deterioration, if that makes sense. I want to make widescreen music so you can just immerse yourself in it. Those are the records i always loved, anyway. Rose this is written from the perspective of a sailor. Somewhat. There is a little marketing behind that. laughter i found in talking directly to a newborn child from the standpoint of someone going to sea and not knowing if theyre coming back, it gave me a lot of liberty and freedom to say things that i probably never would have felt comfortable enough to get myself into a place of. Rose you had to put yourself in the mind of a sailor. Yeah, that vulnerability was the first thing i thought that needed to be palpable. When i was a sailor, i was much younger and had a family, but i remember just being out there for months on end and looking at nothing and thinking rose thinking what . Well, thinking about all the guys around me that were married and had children and think about what they must be going through, or you think about the guys over there now actually in a war zone writing these letters every day, not that getting on a tour bus and going on the road for months even compares to that, but i just wanted to do something with all the emotions i was feeling at the time, which is home sickness, and even though it was providing for my family, like i said, i couldnt sake this little hint of, wow, this is all really selfish because im getting a lot from doing this, but at the same time im missing so much at home. But my wife, again, has realized that if im home too long, all of a sudden i probably need to go play music. Rose was the entertainment bug, did that come natural . I dont know i have that bit down. Im extremely nervous when i walk on stage. I dont really talk a whole lot. I try just play my songs and put my mind into the music. Rose that gets you going . Well, this has all been very recent. We went from playing 300 and 400 people to 3,000 to 4,000 people within two years, and im 38 years old, and i came into this game at a later point in life than most people in my position do, so i feel like a lifetime of less than desirable jobs and just being a normal guy, im far too normalized to ever really walk out there and just embrace all that in a way that i guess a 21yearold kid would love it. But myself and all the guys i play with were all very extreme perfectionists, so we just want to put on the best show musically speaking that we can every night and maybe i forget there are other parts of that involved. Rose you are the first male on your mothers side that didnt work in the mines. Correct. Her father was a foreman on the strip mine for years, and my grandfather, my great grandfather was a deep miner, my mothers brother worked on the strip mine. Rose there is a message from your life. I know the word message is the worst thing i could have said, but i mean it, though, there is lesson, there is this is very important to me because my wife ha my life hs been a very long succession of lessons and even mistakes and bad decisions and being given this opportunity now i dont want to say late in life, but late in life for an aspiring musician. I feel like if it happened at 23, i would have felt destructed. I wouldnt have used the opportunity for what it can be used for. Rose why do you think you would have selfdestructed . I had a lust for life, charlie. laughter my candle was burning at both ends to say the least. Rose i hear you on that, but, i mean, at the same time, you would have been you dont normally have the perspective you do at 38. I didnt, anyway. Rose you didnt have the same perspective at 23 as you do at 38. No, far from it. Rose because you were living life. I was living life. A lot of the guys in my band are younger and extremely talented and i dont ever mince words about those things. Now is when you should be pouring your all into this so that ten years you didnt waste it all on a bunch of empty. Rose and theres a lesson there. Sure. Rose thank you, sturgill. Thank you very much. Rose margo price is here, the National Singer song wrier making a name for herself beyond music city. Her sharp song writing and steely vocals recall country greats like dolly parton, Emmylou Harris and loretta lynn. Her album was recorded at the famed studio in him phis called Midwest Farmers daughter. Margo price performing all american maid in our studio this morning. Part of me that hurts the worse is the one i just cant spot and its all American Made everywhere i go somebody puts me in the dirt everything i say, somebody says they said it first but i dont need 10 million, just give me one that works its all American Made i have been all over something in my bloodline or something in my gut go to california in a rusted pickup truck its all American Made 1987, and i didnt know it then the leaders of our band it wont be the first time baby, it wont be the end they were all American Made but i was just a child raised on sports and jesus and all the usual stuff there tell me mr. Patty, what do you think will happen next its all American Made i wonder if the president gets much sleep at night and if the folks on welfare are making it all right but dreaming of that highway baby the stretch is out of sight and its all American Made yeah, its all American Made yeah, its all, its all American Made rose im pleased to have margo price at this table for the first time, welcome. Thank you so much for having me. Rose thank you for performing for us. Of course. Rose are you as strong on melody as lyrics . I definite think a strong sense of melody is important. When i set out to write the album, i had given up to write pop or rock and roll songs or whatever i had been doing on the last four albums. I wassent worried if the hook was good enough or if it was mee mmelodically catchy enough. It wld the lyrics to be there. I think i achieved that. Rose the hands of time. Yeah, that is a sixminute song. Everybody tried to make it my single. I said, i dont know if america has sakesminute attention span. You only have 140 characters most to have the time to get your point across. laughter but im happy i went ahead and kept it. My manager was adamant about having it to be the kickoff to the album. If people can get through that, they can enjoy the rest of the record because its not as heavy as that song. Rose about to find out. About to find out, i wrote about an acquaintance whos a bit of a sociopath, and its funny how songs change meaning over time. It seemed to be fitting for the privilege and the separation and the classes that were dealing with today. Rose you did this in three days . Three days, yeah. Rose you pawned your wedding ring. Yes. Rose what else . My husband came into the kitchen one day and said, thats it, im selling the car. Theres no way well have enough money. We were selling microphones and guitars and music gear that wed acquired, mixon boardsenned mixing boards and reel to reel machines, then old analog. Rose are those days behind you . Yeah, we still have one car because im on the road so much, but i think im going to buy an old truck soon. Rose a pickup. A ford pickup truck. Rose tell me about the songs. One is tennessee song. Its kind of a song about enjoying the outdoors and also, you know, the history of where america used to be and where we are now. Rose and the next one is you put me since you put me down. Since you put me down, thats a song i cowrote with my husband, and he started writing it. He maybe had a different direction he was going but i definitely used that song to kind of write a scorned love letter to an old manager that did me wrong. laughter people might think its about love. Rose did you call up and say, this is for you . No, but the funny thing was once i started getting some success, he sent me an apology and asked me to sing at his wedding. What did you say . I said, im sorry, i dont think i can do that. Rose thats the way it works. But im not holding a grudge. Rose no, youre not, of course youre not. I just didnt want to do him a favor. Rose four years of chances. Four years of chances, i wrote after a conversation with a girlfriend of mine who was going through a difficult relationship and we were just having a conversation and she said, i gave him four years of chances. Rose and then you heard a song title. I said im going to write that song. I went home the next day and it came out in one piece. But i was writing about her relationship and past relationships i had had, but i was also kind of writing a good buy to my old band called buffalo clover, i was with them four years and doing the best i could to keep it together, and when i had to break up with them, it very much felt like a relationship. Rose does writing come easier or has it always . Im feeling very inspired. Im dying to get back in the studio. Were going to go in here in december. Im full of songs. Rose youre full of songs. Yeah, ive got even more. Rose as she said those words, four years of chances, do you immediately want to go and write it down then . Yeah. Ill scribble it down somewhere because if you dont or youre laying in bed, drifting off, the last moments and you think of a song idea, you think you will remember it but you wont. You have to write it then. Rose its a lot confessional, too. Yeah, i kind of gave myself the humanity to become a little selfdeprecating. You know, like you said, trying to find the humor in the bad situations. I had one about a weekend i had to spend in the Davidson County jail. Rose why did they want to put you in jail . I made some bad decisions. What did you do . I was struggling with depression after losing my son. Rose yeah. And i had been begging god, really, to put me in a mental home. I just wasnt feeling safe, you know, from myself, and i was drinking quite heavily, and i went out one night and had too many drinks and i called the cab but the cab never came, and then i had a little accident and, yeah, that was definitely kind of the turning point where i realized, you know, i dont want to be in an insane asylum, and thats what it felt like in there. Rose i dont want to lose control. Yeah and, you know, i realized i had a son at home, he was the most important thing in my life, and i knew i needed to get it together. So i went and got therapy, took a long time getting clearheaded. Rose and how are you today . Im great. Im a little exhausted, im working so much, but i feel happy. Rose you were rejected by everybody when you began. Yes. Rose and now youre not. I couldnt get a manager, couldnt get a publicist, couldnt get a label, couldnt barely book any gigs. Kind of the turning point was a writer from Rolling Stone saw me in a very tiny dive bar in nashville, and that was my first glimmer of hope. They said, wheres your album . We want to review it. I said, well, i dont have one. Im trying to make one and scrounge up the money. At that point i started writing producers and labels and sent them a demo and said im going to make a great country record, please give me an advance. I didnt hear any responses. So we sold the car, did it anyway and here it is. Rose but theres a lot of hype about it now. I never expected it would go this far in a million years. Rose so youre ready to get back and record the next one. I am. Because that was recorded quite some time ago, and several of the songs were around for years. So ive got all sorts of new things to say, and now even more to write about. Rose great to have you here. Thank you so much. Rose i hope you will come back. I will. Rose as soon as you get that album, come right here. Thank you so much, charlie. Rose here it is, dont you love you can get vinyl now. Yes. Rose look at that. Its an actual thing you can hold in your hand so it wont disappear when the internet collapses. laughter this is a fill. My friend made and it was all green, during the summer, and the film turned it purple. It was so cool. I got poison ivy and all sorts of bug bites. Rose it was worth it. Yeah, it was. I really cant tell you what an honor it is to sit in here and talk with you. Im such a fan. Rose thank you. Honor for me. Margo price. Rose mark ronson is here, the british producer made his name as a deejay in the 90s new York City Club scene and worked with the biggest names in pop music including adele, Amy Winehouse and sir paul mccartney. His new album won two awards including record of the year. Uptown special according to Time Magazine has skill and intelligence. Uptown funk has been viewed on youtube more than 1. 5 billion times. Heres a look at uptown funk featuring bruno mars. Hollywood, jackson, mississippi girls hit your hallelujah uptown funk gonna give it to ya cause uptown funk gonna give it to ya saturday night and we in the spot dont believe me just watch rose mark ronson, welcome. Thank you for having me. Rose you said you worked on uptown funk to within an inch of its life. Yes. What happened with that song is it started off as a jam in brunos studio. Bruno was on the drums, i was on bass, jeff was on the synth. Sometimes a jam is a waste of time but ive now and then you hit a rhythm and that one felt great. The jam is like conceiving a baby, anything is possible. It could go this way or that way. Rose improvisational. And thats fun and the sky is the limit, and then you get to the point six months down the line where youre, like, oh, crap, how do we rewrite the bridge for the 15th time. When you have something that everyone in the room feels like has the potential to be great, its a little tougher to get it to the finish line. Rose whats the video done for you . You know, i was doing a photo shoot with a photographer from the Associated Press one day and he said he was leaving the house and his wife said, who are you going to go photograph today if and he said the white guy from the bruno mars video. So bruno mars is one of the great performer entertainer dancers of this whole generation. I know standing next to him, im not going to be pulling any crazy moves or anything, but its been amazing to be in something that brought people joy, something that we actually love. Sometimes with bands they have their biggest hit and theyre, like, man, we hated that song. This is something im really proud of and its crazy to see the life its taken. Rose you produced most of back to black. Yes, thats the record i probably first became phone for, you know. I met amy in new york when i used to live here i had a studio on mercer street, and we just hit it off right away. I could just tell she had this we just clicked and i really liked her and we started writing the first few days we wrote back to black, and then she wrote rehab, and i made demos out of the songs she already had, and it just kind of happened, and in two weeks we made the album. Rose what have you wanted to do that you havent done . I think a lot of things. I mean, i definitely some of the things, especially because of the result of this song uptown funk, are milestones i never that it i would and i would have been perfectly happy. My career was on a good enough path. And these ridiculous things of playing s. N. L. , they wouldnt even be on my bucket list because i would say my bucket list is more grounded in reality, but i think that my heros, people like George Martin, quincy jones, you know, they have decades and decades of making great music, and a legacy of great music. Maybe i have, at best, seven to eight years of having made records that could be considered important or that people like, but i just its all i want to do and just get better as a producer and arranger and do that. Rose you worked on adeles 19. I did. Rose and 25 as well. And 25. She calls me every six years. I hope i get the call for 31. Rose explain her to me. Just another thing that the voice is just so, i guess, instant. I feel like, for somebody who, like, has such a sunny disposition and is so warm as she is, all the pain and things in her voice that i dont even know if its that passion and emotion that just locks you in right away. She can sing the phone book and we would line up to buy it. I think shes just shes a great song writer and i think authenticity, thats what were missing right now. Rose paul mccartney. Yeah, hes somebody that, when i was in the studio, of course your first day of paul mccartney, its the most nervous youre ever going to be. Rose hes a legend. Hes a legend, a better producer, musician, song writer than you and youre in the room with george and costello and the producers hes worked with. So he gives you a day circle. He knows everyones nervous so you get a little win wynne can do window of kind of, like, all right, well let you flub a few things, then you better get over it and make sounds and make him kited about arrangements. But mainly i learned so much from him about arrangements and the stuff he was doing with the beatles was so ground breaking, hes constantly thinking about technology and how to make his stuff interesting, so its very inspiring working with him. Rose where do you think you will be ten years from now or five. Five or ten years from now . I think we kind of live in an age of musicians where there is a giant sense of entrepreneurialism. Okay, i made it as a musician and now i want my own app and i was saying quincy and George Martin and people leaving a great legacy of music and studying to get better, thats what i want to do, so i would be happy if five or ten years from now i was still working with exciting artistest. Rose thank you for coming. Thank you very much. Rose back in a moment. Stay with us. Rose rose Regina Spektor is here, russianborn singer songwriter has been called her generations joni mitchell, equal part whimsical story teller and classical trained pianist. Tom petty called her one of the most talented musicians alive today, album is called remember us to life. Rolling stone says its full of brilliant underdog songs. Older and taller. I remember you older and taller but youre younger and smaller so whos gonna call her and say that youre back again . And all the lies they were wiser and the wise were the lies and the the lies were on fire and the the fires were put out just to be lit again youre alone till youre not alone and thats all you need to know every time you decide to stay then the world will make you go and thats all you need to know all the debts they got at the settled and the settlers got cattle but the cattle was rattled by the snakes that were guarding the garden gates and you retired just in time you were about to be fired for being so fired from hiring the ones who will take your place all the lies on your resume have become the truth by now and the things that you never did have become your youth somehow you know everything by now enjoy your youth sounds like a threat enjoy your youth sounds like a threat but i will anyway i remembered you older and taller but youre younger and smaller so whose o gonna call her and say that youre here at last and all the days they were longer and the drinks they were stronger the words we sang wrong but the songs were remembered and time just passed youre around until youre not around and thats all i need to know every time you decide to stay then the world will make you go and thats all you need to know enjoy your youth sounds like a threat enjoy your youth sounds like a threat but i will anyway rose im pleased to have Regina Spektor at this table for the first time. Welcome. Thank you, charlie. Im so glad to be here. I just love you and the show very much. Rose thank you so much. Were honored to have you here. Thank you. Rose and congratulations on this. Thank you. Rose tell us about your musical journey, you know, from prussia to the u. S. Well, i think my journey has a lot to do with kind people who decided to help because both my parents are artists and artistic, and they really believed in, you know, share art, share classical concerts, music was always playing in the house. I had an amazing teacher in moscow. As a matter of fact, that was really the only thing that was kind of holding my parents back when they wanted to immigrate to america. Rose what did you want to do . When i was really little, i said i wanted to be a composer, and it was explained to me by very nice commonsense people that its very hard to be a composer and you have to be brilliant to be a composer, but you could be a classical pianist if you want to and play brilliant peoples work. Somewhere along that line i stopped saying composer and started saying i wanted to be a classical pianist, except when i hit the teenage years, the thing that i hadnt realized was that more than your love of music, your emotions, your desperate need to play, you also had to have a talent for a certain kind of work ethic, and that work ethic is a talent in itself, and i didnt have it when it came to sitting those hours and hours, and theres that its like the plane taking off, you have to reach that certain kind of speed to become a classical musician, which is basically an olympian of music, and i couldnt reach it because ipped to, you know, scribble thoughts in a notebook. Rose you wanted to write songs. I didnt know it, yet, but, yeah, i wanted to write songs, i wanted to write poetry, i wanted to read books as opposed to sit and practice. Rose how would you describe your sound . I mean, youve described it as using orchestral colors. Mmhmm. I think its hard for me to think of myself as a sound because i am generating music a lot of the time and it comes from just being in the world and oftentimes walking, especially in new york, when i talk to a place, i will write, and then once i have to come in and actually really write, not just in my imagination, then i have to go from the abstract imaginary sounds into real life, so i could hear a sound in my head, and but when i touched the piano, it instantly its like being woken from a dream and you kind of remember the abstracted sounds of your imagination, but this is a reallife physical thing it has hammers, it has strings, it was built and, so, you are translating yourself you are kind of translating your soul through these physical object, like violins and voice and piano. So i just kind of explore as much as i can because trying to reach those imaginary colors and not just completely ignore them but be in the real world is a struggle. Rose how were you evolving as a musician . If youre no longer an emerging youre no longer an emerging artist, are you . I feel like i am. I dont know. I think that my interest lies so much in the discovery of music and just the pleasure of making art is so great and the moments when i get to do it i feel so privileged to do it that thats what i think about, so its hard to know where i am in the trajectory of how im perceived or what i should be doing. I just sort of think, oh, this is the song, what does it need . Okay, thats down. Now this is this song. Oh, it needs something completely opposite. Okay, i can do that. You know. Rose how much of your work is autobiographical . Also very hard to know because so much of the fun for me comes from the imagination and trying to get out of my own perspective and experience other perspectives. I think that when i think of my tribe, i think of fiction writers and poets, and also playwrights. Rose like. Salinger and rose phillip roth . I feel like hes much more well, maybe ill get there. Hes darker than i am. I feel like, with everything thats happening in the world, i might get there, you know. Rose but its more classical than like khekov. And i feel very much at home in the surreal. Thats where i feel at home. When im in the real world, sometimes i have to almost pretend because it seems so surreal to me. Rose there are those who say your music is autobiographical and this album is more autobiographical than previous ones. Thats the thing. I think in our world, in the arts, we have created this false divide between confessional artists and fiction artists. And then there is the narrative that the confessional people really care and theyre putting their soul into it and honest, and that fiction writers are just making stuff up and are arms length. But to me, a dylan song, even though its surreal and has images from biblical and historic and all these other things that hes pulling from, its not any less of his soul than joni mitchell, who is writing from her life story, and i feel like my soul and personal experience is in everything, but if i engage my imagination, then i can look at something through multiple perspectives, as a man, as somebody who believes the opposite as i do in the world. We have to push ourselves to look at things from other sides, otherwise we get really stuck and, also, we get these superiority complexes. Rose how then do you create your art . How then do you write a song . I feel like if i knew exactly the answer to it, i would have a lot more songs, first of all. Second of all, i think that its a combination of letting certain stories and certain emotions, there is, like, an intake process and then an output process, and then, when things kind of live through your system and you meet certain inspiring individuals, you read certain inspiring things, you see enough stories unfold before your eyes, then you are compelled to, in that moment, to write a song. But i dont really know. I do feel its inspiration and sometimes it happens and rose but when you write songs, do you think of melody, do you think of the music . Or is it simply words you will find the music for later . No, i usually will write at the same time. I usually will go to the piano and sing the words and play the piano and it kind of comes out the same time, and then i sort of play it over and over, pain sometimes like 500 times in a row, until it all just settles on itself. Rose did you once write all the lies on your resume have become truth by now . What did that line mean . Its really hard to say because the thing is, so i just i just came off of a tour, right . And i was just playing these songs they just played in the u. K. And europe, and i was playing these songs a lot of them that are new to me from this new record, and on different nights, different lines would hit me a certain way of my own lines that i wrote, and i would think, oh, that means this. I mean, it was i had this really incredible experience of, because i had it before and after, you know, we found out about the Election Results in the u. K. , and certain songs that i had played in one way, the lines meant Something Else to me after. And i feel like they are my friends and i lean on them and i dont fully foe what they mean, but the comfort that i have of playing them year after year is that they mean more than i know. So i dont want to limit them with my understanding of them at this moment because, in five years, it could mean Something Else to me or something can happen, and that line will take on a totally different meaning.
