(gentle guitar music) - Anything, or is it feeling pretty good?

♪ The wind blows away ♪ ♪ The brash clouds are astray ♪ ♪ And I think to myself ♪ ♪ What a find ♪ ♪ When upon my parade ♪ ♪ Falls a dark masquerade ♪ ♪ And the beauty ♪ ♪ Well it all goes to hell ♪ ♪ So I turn to inquire of my friend ♪ ♪ But he says don't ask questions ♪ ♪ Just follow directions ♪ ♪ 'Cause you might not like what you find ♪ ♪ Yeah don't ask questions ♪ ♪ Just ignore our infection ♪ ♪ Or you might not make it through the night ♪ ♪ When my thoughts tend to stray ♪ ♪ And I can't back away ♪ ♪ From the feeling ♪ ♪ That I've met you before ♪ ♪ Would it make that much sense ♪ ♪ To uphold the weak pretense ♪ ♪ That I don't wanna know you more ♪ ♪ So I turn to inquire of my friend ♪ ♪ But she says don't ask questions ♪ ♪ Just follow directions ♪ ♪ 'Cause you might not like what you find ♪ ♪ Yeah don't ask questions ♪ ♪ Just ignore our infection ♪ ♪ Or you might not make it through the night ♪ ♪ Yeah don't ask questions ♪ ♪ Just follow directions ♪ ♪ 'Cause you might not like what you find ♪ ♪ What you find ♪ ♪ Oh oh oh ♪ ♪ Don't ask questions ♪ ♪ Just ignore our infection ♪ ♪ Or you might not make it through the night ♪ I knew how to do all this stuff and I could not let myself not make the stuff.

And so it's just one of those things where I think the nature of the music, it kind of ends up lending itself to it as well, it's got a very pop kind of connection to it.

Even if it's rocking music, it's got a very pop feel to it in a lot of ways.

And so that level of production in the music kind of necessitates you do the other stuff.

I wish we had lights, but you know, lights, and fog, and lasers.

And I definitely wanna spend some more time writing.

And especially now like the "Ones & 0s" was the first song that all five of us actually wrote, as like, we all added pieces to it.

And I love that process.

I love doing that more.

I love having everyone put a lot of input into it.

And so I'm hopeful that that's gonna be something that happens pretty soon, just to take some ideas and toss them around, and see what we can come up with.

And so even the stuff that was written from like in the older times, it's more about personal struggles.

There's still this kind of sense that there is still hope, even if it's crappy right now.

And even like the last two songs we did, the "Ones & 0s" and "The Other Side", those are this year writes.

So they are very much influenced by the riots, the COVID, the separation political stuff.

And so it's kind of the take of, man, I see all this stuff around us and I want there to be something that is more hopeful than what I see around me.
