00:00Hey everybody, welcome. Thanks for coming to K-Rock.
00:04Appreciate you. Let's bring the band out for real.
00:06Make some noise for Shinedown.
00:19We have chairs.
00:21We have microphones.
00:25Check it on, check it on. There it is.
00:26Hey, hey, hey. What's up, everybody?
00:28Hello.
00:30Friday in Los Angeles. It is Friday. It's not Saturday, right?
00:34We're recording this on a Friday in the afternoon, so thanks for making some time.
00:37Yeah, thank you.
00:38Being here in Mid-Wilshire on a Friday to join us with Shinedown at K-Rock.
00:44Barry, Eric, Brent, and Zach, thank you for the time and for being here.
00:48I want to kind of start this conversation by talking about radio.
00:53We're at a radio station?
00:55We are.
00:56You've been a band. You've been going since, like, 2003.
00:59Radio is a big part of your journey and your story.
01:02Talk a little bit about radio and its involvement with you and your career.
01:07Well, for the band's career, radio built the band.
01:10I know that we live, you know, in a society where music can be consumed much more free now than ever,
01:16which I think is a great thing, but at the end of the day, for us personally, terrestrial radio is, like, extremely important to us.
01:25And, you know, you got 50 states in North America.
01:28It's different in different countries.
01:29But, like, in the U.S., you have all of these cities, and they have multiple towers, and, you know, the stations curate to, you know, the people in that city and what they're into and their identity in a lot of ways.
01:43So, radio is very specific to that culture in that city.
01:47But the reality is this.
01:49Like, I've said it to people before.
01:50Streaming in today's world, you're up against, on a daily basis, 140,000 songs uploaded a day.
01:57And people will ask us, what's the significance between radio and streaming?
02:03Streaming will get your music played.
02:05Radio will give you a career.
02:06Hell, yeah.
02:09Thanks, Fred.
02:09Appreciate that answer.
02:10That's awesome.
02:11Zach, I see you with those Jordan 4s over there.
02:15Yes.
02:15Nice heat on those feet.
02:16Appreciate it.
02:17It's been suggested by Shinedown, Shinedown fans, that Shinedown is kind of like, you know, a band for everybody.
02:25Wondering if you can kind of dig into that and talk about that a little more.
02:29I think that comes down to how we treat each other, mostly, and how people see us.
02:35Like, I kind of, we get along better now than we ever have, and we've never had, like, a bunch of problems with each other.
02:42I've always said you can fool some of the people some of the time.
02:45You can't fool all the people all the time.
02:46So I think that, A, subject matter of song.
02:49Didn't Bob Marley say that?
02:50I think so, yeah.
02:51I think I read that on a popsicle stick when I was younger.
02:55Just making sure.
02:56Everything's going to be all right.
02:57I think that he definitely said that.
03:03Shout out to Marley.
03:04All of the Marleys.
03:07I think that subject matter of songs, too.
03:09You know, we don't, I've always said, like, no, I don't want to, like, offend anybody.
03:14We chose not to write songs about getting laid.
03:17You know what I mean?
03:17Like, I would rather, you know, we would rather write a song that makes you feel like you can jump through the roof of a building
03:23or run through a brick wall than something that's going to fade.
03:26And you don't want, you know, I listened to this song about getting laid when I was a kid, you know,
03:30but I have kids now and I don't want them to listen to this song.
03:32You know what I mean?
03:33So, like, I think that combined with just how we treat each other, I think that we are a people's band.
03:38You know, I think that people notice that about us.
03:40When we're on stage together, if you don't notice us having fun, you are not paying attention.
03:46And unless it's Let's Get It On by Marvin Gaye.
03:50What's Zach saying?
03:51That one works.
03:52We don't have a lot of sex.
03:56Speak for yourself, Eric.
03:57I'm a sex machine, dude.
04:01That's my middle name.
04:04Like one of those weird ones?
04:06Yeah.
04:07Y'all seen the new South Park episode?
04:08Anyway.
04:12Love the new South Park episode.
04:15Speaking for myself here.
04:17Brent, Shine Down, you were signed to Atlantic, like, over 20 years ago.
04:2320, 24 years ago.
04:2424 years ago now.
04:26A lot of ups and downs in those early days.
04:28Dropped.
04:29Resigned.
04:30And I know there was a big emphasis on trying to figure out, like, the right direction, the right sound, the right people to work with when it comes to Shine Down.
04:39How did these three wonderful gentlemen come into your life?
04:42And what made them the perfect fit for what you were doing and for Shine Down?
04:46You are looking at an extremely grateful and lucky man that I have these three men sitting beside me right now.
04:56Because here's the thing.
04:57Look, it's 100 percent, it's a band.
05:00Like, it's a marriage.
05:02Like, I love these guys.
05:04You know, I grew up an only child.
05:06But for the better part of the last 24 years, I've had the three greatest brothers that I could ever ask for.
05:12I think that, you know, I can look, we have a good way of looking at it, at least through experience.
05:19We're very proud of the last 20 years.
05:21But we're focused on the next 20 years.
05:23And that's kind of how we look at it.
05:25You know, it's very rare to be in a band and have a band member like Eric who is multifaceted in a lot of ways.
05:35I can say this about him.
05:36He won't say it about himself.
05:38He's a savant.
05:39I don't know if some of you know this or not.
05:41But the last two records have been mixed, engineered, and produced by Eric.
05:45The record we're working on currently is being mixed, engineered, and produced by Eric.
05:52So, and I think sometimes people are, there's a bit of mystery to us in a way.
05:59Although I would like to think that we're very approachable.
06:01But the thing is, is that we set the bar so high.
06:07Like, don't ever think that we're walking in there when we're writing these records or when we're putting shows together.
06:12You know, again, having somebody like Zach Myers in the band that has a extremely vivid imagination for show production
06:20and puts these shows together along with our partner, Mitch Schillinger.
06:25And I just think about all these different dynamics of who we are and what we mean.
06:31And then when I think about Barry, you know, I just count to four and hit things.
06:35No, no, no.
06:36But seriously, like, he 1,000% is the, you know, he's the rock.
06:43I mean, and what I mean by that, like, he keeps us grounded.
06:45He's our anchor more than anything.
06:47He's a brilliant drummer.
06:48But, like, he keeps us all grounded, you know, and to realize how fortunate we are to be able to do this for a living, you know.
06:58My granny always told me, she said, find something that you love more than anything in the world and you'll never work a day in your life.
07:05Love that.
07:06That's awesome.
07:07Eric, talking about the new record, which is due out in, you know, 2026 at some point.
07:13That's next year for those keeping track of your calendars.
07:16I like that at some point.
07:18Yeah.
07:19That helps me out a lot.
07:21Do we have a general window when that might be released?
07:26How's the record recording process going?
07:28We have three songs out there in the world already.
07:30I read an interview, an article where Brent said, I think he said, the record is 95% done.
07:38And I said, if we got the decimal point between the nine and the five.
07:43No, I think we're I in March, right?
07:46Yeah.
07:47Yeah.
07:47That's what we're I in.
07:49Honestly, this record has been way different than any of the others.
07:51Usually we go in and write 30 plus songs and choose 10 to 15 of them to record.
07:5910 of them go on the record, that kind of thing.
08:02And this one has been, we're sort of writing and mixing and recording as we go.
08:06So we still have songs to write and we have, you know, three songs that are already released from the record.
08:14So it's been a unique experience for sure.
08:17But after this tour, we're going into hard work mode and get it and get it finished for sure.
08:24Yeah.
08:24We've got some shows, some bigger exposure shows that haven't been announced yet.
08:29But for the most part, once we finish, I think this is August 1st, pretty much this entire month is the back half of the Dance Get Dance tour for the year.
08:40Yeah.
08:40I mean, we've got to go in.
08:42Look, we're not walking into the studio every day going, let's write a song because it'll make us famous.
08:49We're writing the songs because we have something to say.
08:52Every time we do this, like me and me and Eric always talk about it too.
08:57All of us do in the band.
08:58Like, it sounds simple, but you have to remind yourself, it's not like it's not going to happen.
09:05Like, we're going to complete it and then give it to the world.
09:10But we take it seriously.
09:12We take it really seriously.
09:13That's a good lesson for everybody here.
09:15Like, if you have something going on in your life and you're stressed out about it and you feel up against a wall.
09:22I mean, I get like that about these records nonstop.
09:24He has to talk me off of a ledge all the time.
09:27But he's right.
09:28It's not like it's not going to happen.
09:29It's not like you're not going to have a moment where it's ready to go and you're successful and you achieve the thing you were trying to achieve.
09:36And I think maybe if you retain that sort of thinking in every aspect of your life, it could be wildly helpful for you.
09:43I haven't figured it out yet, but when I do, I'll let you know.
09:48We're a constant work in progress.
09:50You give great advice and don't take your own advice.
09:53That's what a therapist is, right?
09:55Someone with a completely wrecked life who can help everybody else.
09:59Is there one thing in particular that you kind of focus on or do with regards to mental health and just trying to get through the pressure of...
10:08That, what you just said, just try to get through.
10:10I mean, that's kind of jokey, but it's actually not.
10:13It's, you know, every day is a different experience sometimes.
10:18And every day I wake up, I mean, it's going to sound maybe weird, but I wake up with a different person in my head sometimes.
10:24And I have to negotiate with those people and push through.
10:30But, I mean, honestly, if I'm being honest, staying physically sound, I do it for my mental health, not for my physical health.
10:38Like the wrestling matches that I have with myself when I'm in a workout or on a run.
10:43I don't listen to music when I'm in there.
10:45It's all about this.
10:46And the other thing is, you know, having faith in something greater than yourself.
10:51And faith has really helped me out a lot.
10:53So, you know, I stay plugged into those things.
10:55And I have family and I have a great wife.
10:58We've been together for 30 years and she puts up with me.
11:00And so, yeah, those things are, I mean, that's about it, man.
11:05The rest of it is just up to me and up to you all as well if you struggle with those things.
11:10It's really just about, you know, it's a lot like people that struggle with addiction and that kind of thing.
11:17It's just one day at a time.
11:18It's one thing.
11:19Just take the next step.
11:21Just one step in front of the other.
11:23And I know that's cliche, but stereotypes and cliches are in place for a reason.
11:27It's one of the positives about being in a band.
11:30You're not alone.
11:32You know what I mean?
11:32Like you can bounce things off each other.
11:35Yeah, literally.
11:35Like these are my therapists.
11:37I'll put my wife in that.
11:38Those four people.
11:41And I always have this thing.
11:43I'll say, don't make your friends your therapist.
11:45And I'm the, again, I don't take my own advice.
11:48Band members, it's family.
11:50It's an extension of yourself.
11:52That's amazing.
11:53Barry, I want to talk to you about some of the shows recently.
11:56Brent was just talking about some shows that are going to be announced for next year.
11:59As we record this, Kia Form on Sunday, a huge milestone for Shinedown, which is going to be happening very soon.
12:06Good push.
12:08You played MSG in New York like a few days ago for the first time ever.
12:13What was that like?
12:14It was amazing.
12:15You know, I had to pinch myself.
12:16For us being together as long as we have, open for so many legendary bands as well, to be that, the first time we as a band has ever stepped in that building, headlining it and selling it out, that's huge.
12:29And it's because of all of you, so thank you.
12:31Yes, right.
12:32It's one of those milestones that you look at and you go, wow, that's amazing.
12:38But like Brent alluded to earlier, we're still looking at the next 20 years, so we have more work to do.
12:43Right.
12:43You know, let's go to the stadium, so as proud as we are, I'm not, and I think the rest of my guys I can speak for, aren't ones to look back very often.
12:52We don't look back because we're still working and still want to do so much more with this band and for this band.
12:59So, very honored, but I'm already on the next step.
13:03I love that.
13:04I love that.
13:05Not looking back, looking forward.
13:07On the topic of looking forward and maybe using your voices for some good and some change, Brent, I read somewhere that you had interest in speaking with the CEO of Recording Academy not too long ago.
13:20Yeah.
13:21Harvey Mason Jr., who's the CEO.
13:22Harvey's awesome.
13:23Did you end up having a meeting with him?
13:26I've had multiple meetings with him.
13:27How are those going?
13:28I know you have a lot of passion and emphasis to try to get through the importance of rock and alternative music.
13:35Yeah.
13:35So, talk about those talks and, you know, those meetings and how you kind of think the Grammys are going to be focusing on rock music in the future, hopefully.
13:45Well, the one thing, you know, because I'm representing the band in these meetings and what have you,
13:52but I needed to get knowledge from him, how the Grammy, the Academy itself actually functions.
13:59Because I'm going to tell you right now, you think you know how it works and you have no idea.
14:04Like, it's really, really detailed in the amount of people that are involved, how you have to register, how you have to have membership to actually have a vote that's going to count.
14:14Whether you're a musician, a songwriter, an executive at a record label, you know, major or not.
14:20If you're a studio engineer, all these different things are factors in them deciding the ballots and then putting,
14:29and the categories of how many actual, the categories themselves.
14:34I was blown away by how many there actually was.
14:37But the point of me asking Harvey to sit down with him and talk to him, you know, I said, listen, I think what is occurring in the world of heavy metal, rock, hard rock,
14:53however you want to look at it, active rock, how these terms that get thrown around,
14:57it's, I think there's a bit of a disconnect in what you feel the size of the audience is and the diversity of the community.
15:08And why I said that was, I think that if we can talk about how can we get some of these bands to have, you know, not only viewership, you know, on the Grammys.
15:19I said to him, you're talking about a culture and a community of people just in rock and roll.
15:24That is, you're not talking about tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands or, you're talking about hundreds of millions of people.
15:32Some of the largest festivals on the planet are based in heavy metal, hard rock, or just rock music in general.
15:42So being a band like ourselves, you know, we look at rock and roll as a way of life more than anything.
15:48And, you know, I say this a lot, I bring this up.
15:54When N.W.A. was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, Ice Cube got up and he said,
16:00it's one of the coolest things that he could have said, rock and roll is a spirit.
16:05Because I think N.W.A. belongs in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame like anyone else, you know.
16:10It's a lifestyle, it's a way of life.
16:12Yeah, it's culture.
16:14Exactly, it's culture.
16:15Are you bringing an awareness to a culture?
16:18And that can be very diverse from all walks of life with different backgrounds and different ethnicities and all that.
16:24Everyone should be welcomed.
16:25So looking at the dynamic of this, I also had to be schooled, and I wanted to be schooled,
16:32about how detailed the academy actually is, because you have to have real membership in order for your vote to count.
16:38And if you're going to create a category, it can take a long time, you know,
16:43and you have to kind of lobby for it, for it to actually exist.
16:46What I can tell you is that we're still actively talking about this.
16:50He couldn't be more receptive, and he's a thousand percent down,
16:54and we're trying to pave the way to get more exposure.
16:58And look, yeah, give it up.
17:00That's awesome.
17:00And look at 2025.
17:02It's kind of like the resurgence of rock music.
17:05It's really happening right now.
17:06You look at, like, year-over-year consumption, and just,
17:09we've been on this journey where now, like, rock music genuinely is, if not the top,
17:15one of the top, you know, consumed and listened to genres on the planet, in the country.
17:20So it should have more representation.
17:22Well, I don't think that you're ever going to replace drums, bass, guitar, badass vocals in a killer song.
17:28And again, too, let me just say this.
17:32Like, I mean, you're talking about four, you know, very open-minded individuals here when it comes to music.
17:38Our palette is quite vast.
17:41We listen to everything, you know.
17:43So, and it's not so much about rock music or metal music or alternative music or pop music or country music.
17:49I can go on and on.
17:50It's about all music.
17:51That's what matters.
17:52That's what that human connection that we all have with each other.
17:56That's the most important thing.
17:58We have a drum set up here.
18:00We have a bass.
18:01We have guitars.
18:02We have vocals.
18:02We're going to get to that in a second.
18:03I know. We stole all this stuff.
18:06We're going to get to the performance in a second.
18:08I want to get you out of here on this.
18:09We can talk all day.
18:10Really, thank you so much for taking the time and being here at K-Rock today.
18:13For real, though.
18:14Yes.
18:18There is one thing, though, that I want to say specifically about K-Rock.
18:21If I go back to, and I won't be super, super long-winded, but Kevin Weatherly, man, I got
18:28to give Kevin massive, massive praise.
18:30Make some noise.
18:32Absolutely.
18:34That's actually the least long-winded you've ever been when you've said, I'm not going to
18:38be long-winded about that.
18:41You're proud of me?
18:42We all three are.
18:43We were staring at each other when you said.
18:45Usually when you say we're not going to be long-winded, we think about the Twister movie.
18:49We're like, it's about to be some long wind up in this bitch.
18:51No, but we recently got a number one on alternative radio for the first time in 15 years.
19:01I'm going to tell you what Kevin Weatherly is.
19:03Kevin Weatherly is necessary.
19:05That's what Kevin Weatherly is.
19:07Because when we had Symptom come out, going back almost two years now, he was the first
19:13program director outside of a good friend of ours, James, in Chicago at Q101.
19:17But these two guys, specifically Kevin, came into his office, sat down with him, played
19:22him the song.
19:24And I love the fact that he didn't give us the ad right away.
19:28He sat with the song.
19:29He listened to it because he cares about his listeners.
19:31He cares about K-Rock.
19:32And I remember he called me.
19:33It was like on a Tuesday.
19:35He's like, we're going to add the record, man.
19:36And he was the biggest game changer overall for the alternative format.
19:41And we really, really, really appreciate him.
19:45Yeah.
19:45And thank you for making the music, you know.
19:48And yourself, by the way.
19:49Thank you so much.
19:50Appreciate you.
19:51I was on that call, too.
19:54It's OK.
19:54No, man, that's a beautiful record, a really important song.
19:59And it was such a pleasure for us to listen to that in his office and to talk about it
20:02quite a bit.
20:04And we had a really, really good run with that.
20:06Yeah.
20:06Three, six, five, which you just mentioned, went number one recently.
20:09So Shine Down's on fire.
20:11I want to get you out of here on one more thing before we perform.
20:15I'd be remiss if I didn't bring up the legend that is Ozzy Osbourne.
20:18Just going down the line here, what he meant to you guys individually and the importance
20:28of Ozzy and Black Sabbath with regards to the influence and what it meant to Shine Down.
20:34I think, you know, for anyone who plays music or even consumes music in any sort of way,
20:40I said this the other day, every ounce of music that you take in now, at least most of
20:47it, I would say 90%, would sound different if it wasn't for Black Sabbath and Ozzy Osbourne.
20:52Truly, it doesn't matter what it is.
20:54Think about somebody like T-Pain or all these hip-hop artists who use Black Sabbath riffs
20:59or use Ozzy riffs.
21:00You know, it changed the landscape of music.
21:03There's lots of music that comes out that is in a genre that has already existed.
21:08To invent a genre of music.
21:11When's the last time someone had invented a genre of music?
21:14That's insane to think about.
21:16And we got, you know, we got to be alive for that.
21:19And this one guy who did it, it's insane.
21:22So it's for us, you know, it was a big loss and it was a big loss.
21:24To see people come out and there's nothing negative you can say about a person is insane.
21:32This day and age, when you can find poke holes in anything, to have one guy come out and they
21:38don't say anything bad.
21:39Nothing.
21:40That's crazy.
21:41So for us, you know, it was a big loss and we know for everybody else and we're just wishing
21:45his family well and his friends.
21:48Appreciate that perspective.
21:49Barry, you have some words?
21:51I can't top that, honestly.
21:53You know.
21:53It was life-changing for me to have Ozzy in my life.
21:57I have an older brother who turned me on to Ozzy at a very, very young age.
22:01Barking the Moon came out and I stole his cassette and I went to my little treehouse and I would
22:05sit there and listen to it over and over and over and over again.
22:08And I wouldn't be the drummer I am, the musician I am today without him.
22:12So yeah, I mean, Ozzy's a legacy.
22:15Ozzy's a household name.
22:16That transcends so many things and has been a household name since the 70s.
22:21So he'll be missed, but he left us with such a wonderful legacy and had such a wonderful,
22:26bright life that we can't be sad about it.
22:28We should be happy and celebrating it.
22:30Man, y'all make it hard.
22:37No, if I think about Black Sabbath and I think about Ozzy, at the time that that music came
22:44out, there was this cacophony of voices that were very tonally similar to the music that
22:50was being played around them.
22:52And Ozzy was like this siren in the middle of all of that that came out and you couldn't
22:58ignore it and it wouldn't be ignored.
23:01And what that brought us is that band and Ozzy brought us to a place where our darkness
23:08was accessible through music.
23:11You know, there wasn't a lot of that.
23:13You know, there was a lot of, you were coming out of the hippie era and all this other stuff
23:17and, you know, he kind of created, not he, but they, all of Black Sabbath, they created
23:26a community for the misfits, you know, for the, for those of us that, that they're a little
23:33bent and, and our pieces don't fit quite right.
23:37And, uh, he was a mouthpiece for that and made it acceptable and gave us, you know, through
23:44those floodgates open for all the other bands that do that for us now.
23:47So I appreciate that.
23:50Top that, Brent.
23:53He will.
23:54It's fine.
23:54No.
23:55He is the lip singer.
23:56I know he will.
23:57No, I'll be honest with you.
23:59Um, when I think about him specifically, um, probably the very first, cause if you notice
24:07something interesting about Ozzy, you never saw him really play an instrument.
24:11His instrument was this persona that he had created and his voice, like Eric was saying,
24:18that voice is beyond like completely recognizable.
24:23Literally a guy in any genre of music, you know exactly who that is.
24:29He could sing any other style, but he would, that voice would resonate, but he was vulnerable.
24:35You know what I mean?
24:36This guy that had, you know, a ton of demons, you know, in his mind, if you will, and would
24:42act out on these wild, you know, scenarios and what have you.
24:46But when he was calm and he was sober, he was such a thoughtful and loving and caring individual.
24:53And he talks about it, you know, I mean, to be married to Sharon forever and was always
24:59loyal to her and their kids, you know, he was a family man, like, you know, tried and
25:05true.
25:06Um, I think the world can learn a lot from Ozzy Osbourne and he left us a legacy of music.
25:12You know, he's, uh, he's not gone.
25:14He's everywhere.
25:16Shout out Ozzy Osbourne.
25:17Rest in peace.
25:20Zach Barry, Eric, Brent.
25:21Thank you so much for the perspective.
25:23Thank you for the conversation.
25:24Thank you for being here.
25:25We're going to take a couple of minutes to reset the stage and they'll be back in a few
25:29minutes to play some songs.

26:32Sing it.
26:42Tell it.
26:43Let me tell you.
26:54I'm vicious, not past aggressive.
26:59I got my finger on the pulse.
27:01I restrain it to a hole and I get it.
27:04And I'm a savage.
27:07It's automatic.
27:08I got a way to make a noise.
27:12The power to destroy.
27:13We don't stop it.
27:14I'm a savage.
27:14I'm a savage.
27:15I'm a savage.
27:15I'm a savage.
27:15I'm a savage.
27:16I'm a savage.
27:24And I'm a savage.
27:29Cause I know it all too well
27:32Switchblade on the head of your wrist
27:34Can I get a witness?
27:37Cause agony brings no reward
27:40For one more hit, one last score
27:42Don't be a casual thing
27:45Cut the call
27:45Freedom, freedom, freedom
27:49Cut the call
27:51Freedom, freedom, freedom
27:54You gotta feel courage
27:57Embrace possession
27:59If it was easier to shatter everything
28:03And have a mountain but to stop
28:05Because it's your obsession
28:06Be a fighter
28:07Backbone desire
28:10Complicated in a sting
28:13Oh, we don't know what it means
28:15Yeah, it's time to get thrilling and spying
28:17Oh, victory is all you need

28:23Hold your breath and count to ten
28:25I'm gonna make it right
28:29So ring the bell
28:31Cause I know it all too well
28:34Switchblade on the head of your wrist
28:36Can I get a witness?
28:39The agony brings no reward
28:42For one more hit, one last score
28:44Don't be a casual thing
28:47Come on!
28:50Come on, victory is all you need
29:14So cultivate and plant the seed
29:17Hold your breath and count to ten
29:19Just count to ten
29:21I'm gonna make it right
29:23So ring the bell
29:25Cause I know it all too well
29:28Switchblade on the head of your wrist
29:30Can I get a witness?
29:33Cause agony brings no reward
29:36For one more hit, one last score
29:38Don't be a casual thing
29:40Sing this piece
29:46Sing this piece
29:47Freedom, da-la-la-la-la

29:58Freedom, da-la-la-la
30:00Freedom, da-la-la-la
30:01Thank you, LA
30:02Everybody good?
30:12Just a lovely Friday afternoon
30:15There it is
30:20Is it transposed?
30:23We were doing that earlier today
30:24This is a song called
30:33How Did You Love?
30:33If you know it, sing it out
30:34You can have a sound
30:42Over a thousand voices
30:44Calling your name
30:45You can have the light
30:47Of the world
30:48Blind you, bathe you in grace
30:51But I don't see so easily
30:54What you hold in your hands
30:56Cause castles crumble
30:58Kingdoms fall
30:59And they turn into sad
31:01But you can be an angel of mercy
31:04Or give in to hate
31:06Or you can try to fight it
31:08Just like every other
31:10Careless mistake
31:11So how do you justify
31:13Cause I'm mystified
31:15By the ways of your heart
31:16With a million lies
31:19The truth will rise
31:20To tear you apart
31:22Love
31:22No one gets out of love
31:25Every day is do or die
31:28But one thing you'll leave behind
31:30Is how did you love?
31:32How did you love?
31:33It's not what you believe
31:35Those prayers will make you bleed
31:38But while you're on your knees
31:41How did you love?
31:42How did you love?
31:44How did you love?
31:46Nothing ever feels quite the same
31:50When you are what you dream
31:53You will never look at anything the same
31:56When you see what I see
31:58How we forget ourselves
32:00Lose our way from the cradle to the grave
32:03You can't replicate or duplicate
32:06You gotta find your own way
32:08Whoa!
32:09No one gets out of love
32:12Every day is do or die
32:14But one thing you'll leave behind
32:17Is how did you love?
32:18How did you love?
32:20It's not what you believe
32:22Those prayers will make you bleed
32:25But while you're on your knees
32:27How did you love?
32:29How did you love?
32:31Tell me how did you love?
32:32This ain't no cross to bury
32:45We are the judge and jury
32:48We are the judge and jury
32:50Come on!
32:53No one gets out of love
32:56Cause every day is do or die
32:58But one thing you'll leave behind
33:01Is how did you love?
33:02How did you love?
33:04It's not what you believe
33:06Those prayers will make you bleed
33:08But while you're on your knees
33:11How did you love?
33:12How did you love?
33:14This ain't no cross to bury
33:16Come on!
33:17We are the judge and jury
33:19Come on!
33:19This ain't no cross to bury
33:21Come on!
33:22We are the judge and jury
33:24How did you love?
33:25How did you love?
33:27How did you love?
33:28How did you love?
33:29Tell me how did you love?
33:30Thank you very, very much. You guys and girls sound awesome today. Seriously, thank you.
33:57All the strangers in the dark are good in the back.
34:00So we wrote this song called 365. And thank you.
34:15Again, what we were talking about earlier, when you walk into a studio, you're not necessarily
34:28know what you're going to write on certain days. And every once in a while, you'll get
34:36a gift. We've been really lucky the last couple of records. We've had quite a few gifts present
34:42themselves. So these songs, they become, well, they utilize you as a vessel, I think, in a
34:49lot of ways. And the reality is for 365, the entire song is talking about if I got to be
35:01bold and upfront with you, as human beings, we have an interesting relationship with death.
35:07Because a lot of times when someone passes away, what we'll do is we'll comfort our friend
35:14or our family member. Say, I'm so sorry for your loss. Or our friends will say to us, can't
35:20believe they're gone. But we don't believe that they're gone. We believe that they're everywhere.
35:25So let me ask you a question. If you've recently lost somebody in your life that meant the entire
35:30world to you, but they're no longer on this earth, raise your hand. There are these dynamics
35:40sometimes in that statement. I promise you they're not gone. They're truly everywhere.
35:52They're in this room right now if you want them to be. So we're going to do something really bold.
35:57I'm going to ask you to be really, really brave. Take a leap of faith with me. And I'll be just as
36:02vulnerable with you as you are with us. So I'm going to ask you to do me something. Do me a solid.
36:10I want you to bow your head. I want you to close your eyes. And now I just want you to be still.
36:18I want you to look. I want you to search in your heart and in your mind for that person. I want you
36:29to see their face. I want you to see their smile. I want you to remember what they taught
36:36you and the love that they gave you. And that they're not gone. They're right beside you.
36:45They're always with you. You just got to believe. BK, let's go.
36:50There's a hurricane and it's on the way. Been sitting around this house for days. I'm in
37:08here waiting on the flood. I've been hanging out and on and off. So every word in our favorite
37:23song. These headphones are thicker than blood. If I could hitch a ride on a time machine, I
37:36would bring you right back here with me. And I wouldn't have to watch you disappear.
37:48Even though I said all the things that mattered most, while I held on tight to the end of the road,
37:58I could keep you close. But I couldn't keep you here. Like it happened in a year.
38:28Giving in, not giving up. Maybe I didn't care enough. I wish I could let you know somehow.
38:42But if I could hit you right on a time machine, I would bring you right back here with me. And I
38:53would enough to watch you disappear. Even though I said all the things that mattered most, while I
39:06I held on tight to the end of the road, I held on tight to the end of the road. I could keep you close. But I couldn't keep you here.
39:18Keep looking out, not looking down. Won't find the answers in the ground. So where will we be 12 months from now?
39:44Now.
39:45And now. If I could hitch a ride on a time machine, I would bring you right back here with me. And now. I wouldn't have to watch you disappear.
40:02Even though I said all the things that mattered most, while I held on tight to the end of the road.
40:09But I held contact to the end of the rope.
40:13I could keep you close, but I couldn't keep you here.
40:20A lot can happen in a year.
40:24So, speaking of that song a minute ago, we've been a little lucky between 365 and a symptom of being human.
40:48You know, maybe the universe is telling us something.
40:51So, what I'll say to everybody here too about this particular song,
40:56it's about understanding that you can have as many human moments as you need in your own life.
41:00We're all connected together. We all have a different journey.
41:04All you gotta remember is sometimes it's as simple as the symptom of being human.
41:10So, I'll tell you what, we'll do something unique.
41:12Every single cell phone you got, even if you got a lighter, probably maybe not a lighter, but a cell phone.
41:17If you wanna light this place up, that would be absolutely phenomenal.
41:20You can show us what the stars look like in Los Angeles.
41:23There you go. Don't be shy.
41:25We're all here together. There you go.
41:27Whole place. You go, yeah, yeah, it looks much better. Hell yeah.
41:31Now it's a show.
41:36If you know the words and you wanna sing with us, feel free.
41:41This is called a symptom of being human.
41:43I can still remember me and Miss November Rain.
41:50I can still remember me and Miss November Rain.
41:55Beautiful and strange.
41:56Always so inclined.
41:57Coloring outside the light.
41:58I can still remember me and Miss November Rain.
42:00Beautiful and strange.
42:02Always so inclined.
42:04Coloring outside the light.
42:05Yeah, you were never untied.
42:06You've always been slightly awkward.
42:07I can still remember me and Miss November Rain.
42:11Upside down and not all here.
42:12What's wrong with me?
42:13I can still remember me and Miss November Rain.
42:14I can still remember me and Miss November Rain.
42:15I can still remember me and Miss November Rain.
42:16You were never untied.
42:17Always so inclined.
42:19Coloring outside the lights.
42:20Always so inclined.
42:21Coloring outside the lines.
42:26Yeah, you were never untied.
42:31You've always been slightly awkward, kinda weird.
42:35Upside down and not all here.
42:38What's wrong with me and you is crystal clear.
42:43live. Sometimes I'm in a room where I don't belong, and the house is on fire and there's
42:52no alarm, and the walls are melting too. How about you? I've never been the favorite
43:02but I've seen it all, till I got my invitation to the Lunar Teeth Ball, and my friends are
43:09coming too. How about you? Don't worry, it's all just the center of being human.
43:19Unpack all your baggage, hide it in the attic. Well, you hope it disappears. This all seems
43:47so familiar, but it doesn't feel like home. It's just another unknown. You've always
44:01been slightly awkward, kinda weird. Upside down and not all here. Right or wrong, it's all
44:10crystal clear. Sometimes I'm in a room where I don't belong, and the house is on fire and
44:21there's no alarm, and the walls are melting too. How about you? I've never been the favorite,
44:31thought I've seen it all, till I got my invitation to the Lunar Teeth Ball, and my friends are
44:38coming too. How about you? Don't worry, it's all just the center of being human.
44:48We're all just passing through. Passengers on a ship of blue. We're all just passing through.
44:59Passengers on a ship of blue. Sometimes I'm in a room where I don't belong, and the house is on fire
45:07and there's no alarm, and the walls are melting too. How about you? I've never been the favorite,
45:17thought I've seen it all. Till I got my invitation to the Lunar Teeth Ball, and my friends are
45:24coming too. On a ship of blue. Don't worry, it's all just the center of being human.
45:42Once again, you guys and girls sound absolutely awesome. Thank you so, so much.
46:03All right, so you brought your singing voice today, obviously.
46:12You came all the way, who said that? You came all the way from Orlando? Girl.
46:16Well, Los Angeles is very happy to have you. We're happy to have you.
46:25Hey, we got the number one Spotify listener right here, in the world. In the world. What's
46:34that? Number one Spotify listener in the world. What's up, man? What's going on? What's
46:38that? Melody Farago. Oh, shit!
46:40Seriously, thank you so much. Okay, big giant sing-along. You ready? Here we go.
47:02My eyes were open wide by the way. I made it through the day. I made it through the day.
47:24My eyes were open wide by the way. I made it through the day. I watched the world outside by the way. I'm leaving out the day. Come on.
47:42I just saw Hayley's coming. She waited. Said, why are you always running in place? Even the man in the moon disappeared.
47:57Where'd he go? Somewhere in the spot is behind. Tell my mother, tell my father. I've done the best I can.
48:11To make them realize this is my life. I hope they understand. I'm not angry. I'm just saying.
48:27Sometimes goodbye is a second chance. Please don't cry one tear for me. I'm not afraid of what I have to say. This is my one and only voice. So listen close. It's only for today.
48:52I just saw Hayley's coming. I just saw Hayley's coming. She waited. Said, why are you always running in place? Even the man in the moon disappeared.
49:06Where'd he go? Somewhere in the stratosphere. Tell my mother, tell my father. I've done the best I can. To make them realize this is my life. I hope they understand.
49:30I'm not angry. I'm not angry. I'm just saying. Sometimes goodbye is a second chance.
49:50Here's a second chance.
49:52Here is my chance. This is my chance. This is my chance.
49:57Here is my chance.
50:02Here is my chance.
50:03Here is my chance.
50:05Tell my mother, tell my father. I've done the best I can. To make them realize this is my life. I hope they understand. I'm not angry. I'm just saying.
50:19I hope they understand
50:23I'm not angry, I'm just saying
50:30Sometimes goodbye is a second chance

51:50Always coming and last
51:51Bringing up the past
51:52No one owes you anything I think
51:54You need a shotgun blast
51:55A kick in the ass
51:56So paranoid
51:57What?
51:58Hey!
51:59Hey!

52:13What?
52:14Hey!
52:23Oh, nah, here we go
52:25Another loose cannon, gone bipolar
52:27Slip down, couldn't get much lower
52:30Rick said it's got no sense of humor
52:32I'm still laughing like hell
52:34You think, stop a crime to me
52:37Looking so sorry that you gotta believe you've been affected
52:41By a social disease, welfare, thank you, medicine
52:44I created the sound of magic
52:48For the broken pain
52:51Somehow I'm still here to explain
52:54That the darkest hour never comes in the night
53:00You can sleep with a God
53:02But when you gotta wake up and
53:04Boys up
53:10I'm so sick of this two-stop mentality
53:19They're announcing life and it'll save you free
53:22But I'm not calling prophecy
53:25You're self-fulfilling prophecy
53:27You think, you think, that a crime to me
53:30Looking so sorry that you gotta believe you've been affected
53:34Ah, social disease, welfare, thank you, medicine
53:37I created the sound of madness
53:41For the broken pain
53:43Somehow I'm still here to explain
53:47That the darkest hour never comes in the night
53:53You can sleep with a God
