Like, guy's doing this and then he is doing this.

And it's like really simple.

But in my mind, it's like, like soon after I had stopped drinking, the skyline, like in my mind, it had this totally different... Every song had a different kind of negative memory associated with it.

And it was like really hard to sift through what was real and what was like imagined for me.

So playing these songs again, it's like, at this point I've listened to them again and realized (clears throat) that most of it's in my head, the negative stuff that I associated with them with.

But yeah, it's tricky.

It's a different version of myself that I'm looking back at.

And there's a little bit of negativity associated with them for me.

But when I kind of remove myself from the equation, it's kind of just like, they're just songs about people having fun.

And it was kind of just an adjustment of like, I've got all this time, I can figure out what it is that I'm trying to even do still with music.

And I kind of just realized that I had stopped the learning process of it.

And maybe I'd become a bit of a know-it-all, but I kind of got back into like, trying to figure out things that I didn't know how to do.

And I picked up a flute.

So there's a lot more flute on the new stuff that I've been working on.

Yeah.

Trying to just pick up tricks from people and expand.

'Cause yeah.

I mean, you can't get better if you're not learning.

So.
