And I kind of moves on from there you I was it's vintage is started this stuff -- -- -- right now from.

They're true life experiences you know I thought that's what that's not right -- from -- relate most to.

And I want to write music light from that because I feel like my favorite -- the reason I listen to news for the things that move me up.

I think to -- me because I can relate to it because of what they've written about me are that I can sing along the other day just crank it up and and the car and -- all the Saddam hasn't disarmed that.

So great and -- now let's talk about what you're doing now yeah.

Which is this debut album so it.

First how many instruments have you gotten up to you and how many people hanging on its outlook on the album we went through and counted -- Only album I ended up playing everything -- it stems from the ways to do my demos you know I I.

I would write -- -- and the only way I knew just finished the song would be to actually go through and and record myself.

Made him a little bit of control freak I'm never admit it -- -- Okay as I went on to to sort of have this is you know we all had this idea while we try this for the album this process you know this.

-- weird thing there's something that happens there where it's like the same person who wrote it.

You know I come from the same thought the same emotions when I play it so there's something that happens and and we decided to just try and we did it and so we got up to like thirty instruments.

On the record wow this.

Hey Leo there you want to like that -- thirty instrument vocal and you prettiest -- which -- you have it is it and it.

It is went in there and figured out I guess it's like ascetic ideal because distance from my demos it was it was basically Lou building from demise of -- maiden so you know we got somebody.

Another -- -- Monday and a half in the studio and and He Somalia I've always looked up to analysts.

You know sort of study did what He does and how He works and so to get to sit in the chair next images kind of combat ideas back and forth.

All day long that really feel like committed to the stricken -- -- And and I didn't really sort of saint learned.

You just kind of just kind of go with the flow -- you know I wish I had taken notes now yeah now it is still.

And this felony -- class you where you look familiar sound bits in this.

John -- like let's say country -- a lot of different.

I only did so where do you think he's standing on the outside outside -- -- I kind of I considered modern countries for them because I'm.

I'm -- under individually accounting so it but.

I don't know what should Colin I really I don't mind as long as it's called country because that's -- a group listened to that's -- -- -- -- -- from our hearts that's my home.

And so you know but that -- as far as specifics -- -- that I just like music thankfully you're hearing this stage now a lot the increase the this time Taylor Swift so how is that going as we speak we're -- Astoria it's going great woods and three days with her and it has absolutely been fanned.
