Daniel Lanois: Live From On Air Fest का पूरा ट्रांसक्रिप्ट

eleven, not this exactly, not this exact guitar, but the slide guitar. 00:10:46 Speaker 1: As a yes, what when you first started playing? What were the sorts of things you were? What sounds were you drawn to from it? 00:10:59 Speaker 4: We carried on with melody because I studied with a teacher who did the strumming of the chords, and I then played the maladies and I played things like a Red River Valley, you know, please come back to the Red River Valley again. Just stayed with melody, and then I fell in love with melody and it never left me. 00:11:23 Speaker 1: And so. 00:11:26 Speaker 4: I used to play guitar in a band in Toronto, a club called the Brown Derby, and around the corner was the cock Door and they had blues musicians in there, and then the Edison had country musicians. So I used to between my sets, I go to hear what those guys were up to. And I met a fellow by the name of Bob Lucier, also a frenchie like me, and he became my teacher. And that's it. He got me that guitar. 00:12:00 Speaker 1: You're known. I think one of the things that people talk about a lot when they talk about Daniel Law is the texture and the sounds and the tones you achieve in the studio. Often left out is your wonderful sense of melody and what you bring to that in your own work. And I'm sure you know your work when you work with other artists as well. But I noticed when we were in sound check and we were listening to something, immediately you got to tap in your foot. 00:12:34 Speaker 4: Oh yeah, yeah. I taped the heel because I can't talk with a toe on that. I'll show you in a minute. 00:12:41 Speaker 1: I think Miles Davis tap of this heel too. It was supposed to be cooler, but I taped myself. I'm not that cool, but I was really pleased to see that because one of the very underappreciated elements I feel like of your work is your sense of rhythm. Everyone has a unique rhythm, I think, probably whether they play music or not. Some of the great artists, if you wonder, just because I just said wonder, now, Michael Jackson stopped in my head. Those two people, very different people have their own very unique sense of rhythm, Okay, that it gets expressed to their work, and all of your stuff really does. Also. It seems to really have this really unique but deeply soulful rhythm under what is your. 00:13:34 Speaker 4: Well, that's a nice compliment, thank you, and all that. We all hope to have that as part of our paint box as musicians, you know, but it's always been that for me, you know, like that the piece I just played, you know, it's a six' eight and it reminds me of the Will dance Hall field THAT i remember as a, kid you, know cheek the, cheek the nigga digga sleepwalk and all that. Stuff AND i never forgot those the nights those you, know MAYBE i have a sweaty sweaty and you're holding her girl's, hand then you might ask her to dance and all. That it's very very kind of innocent times of attraction and, uh and it had a pulse to, it you, KNOW i have a romance pulse to. It and a lot of the doop of that era had a similar. 00:14:25 Speaker 3: Boom boo boom, boo bah boo, boom. 00:14:29 Speaker 4: You know that kind Of it's got a little love making in it all the. 00:14:32 Speaker 1: Time so that's the secret sorhythm. 00:14:36 Speaker 4: Is, yes, Exactly, donna would you? Agree, Yes donna came all the way down From toronto with her. Entourage. There who's that good looking guy With oh It's, trevor her. Husband. Uh But donna AND i are doing some work together right, now SO i get to roaster a little. 00:14:59 Speaker 1: Bit it's, Acceptable it's acceptable with the story the as as is when you worked with you, too that was With, brian you. Know is it true, that As i've Heard bono tell, it you And Larry Mullen. Jr were the first to sort of form a special kind of relationship WHICH i feel like maybe also as illustrative of your of your your your your sense of rhythm and maybe the fact that you're you're drawn to. 00:15:36 Speaker 4: It but, WELL i did recognize a special talent That larry had drummer for you. 00:15:45 Speaker 3: Too, larry. 00:15:47 Speaker 4: He had developed this wild action on the high. Hat he was a great high hat, player AND i, thought, well maybe he could apply that high hat technique onto another. Drum SO i brought a timballium for him and worked out some new patterns within the. Skills and he was already excellent at and he already appreciated that we were able to expand on what he was already good at into another dimension of. 00:16:15 Speaker 1: Expression so you had did did? Did Did timbalis that actually make it to the record or was that. 00:16:26 Speaker 4: Just, yeah, yeah there's A i think there's a song Called Unforgettable fire that has has that bad by Don't, Boone Don't, Boom don't don't bona the get the, boone don't. Bone SO i just had him to play the high hand, part but move from the high hat to the to THEM, timbali, YEAH i got on the. Album what. 00:16:49 Speaker 1: Had you did you often use timbalas in your work before? That or was it was that really just something you had heard in his playing THAT i. 00:16:57 Speaker 4: Just heard in his? PLAYING i mean it's what we do in, studios you, know we look for people's uh special gifts and moments of. Expression you, know maybe we hit on something that belongs to someone rather than and discarded OR i think it's not part of the. Recipe we welcome a fresh. Ingredient it's always the. Case we're only ever mining from, magic and magic will come in surprising, ways you, know in the. Studio and we're lucky because architects don't get to have this kind of. Flexibility you, know a bridge gets designed or a beautiful building like, this and you've got to stick with the. Plan but we in the, studio we could, say, well there's something very special, here so let's abandon the plan that we had and put our effort into. THIS i just went through this With. Donna you. Know she had a demo of something from home THAT i thought had a little

something to it that we didn't quite capture in the, studio AND i, said he we'll bring that in and let me have a go at what you started at. Home And i'm pretty. Good it's all fixed electro, timing And i'm good at, that SO i can just take What donna's started and surprise hear with the whole orchestra stuff that she can't imagine just. Yet all, right that'll be enough, now DON i don't want. 00:18:18 Speaker 6: To. 00:18:21 Speaker 4: But you. 00:18:21 Speaker 1: Do you, said there's magic comes in all sorts of surprising ways in the studio and often unplanned on ways you're unprepared. For but you do prepare still on at the beginning of projects for. Something. 00:18:36 Speaker 4: Oh, absolutely preparation for sound is a very big thing for. ME i Referenced Neil. Young WHEN i worked With, NEIL i spent a good few weeks preparing, sounds guitar sounds Before neil got. There AND i have a nice collection of old, amps And neil loves as, well and SO i pulled out all my best stuff and built some sounds and introduced a what they call a sub harmonic. Synthesizer it's just a device made BY, dbx and it allows an octave below would come through from the guitar from se on. Down and so he really got hooked on and he, said, whoa this is. Fantastic and then whatever notes the guitar wouldn't quite tracked that, WAY i. Reinforce After neil would go, Home i'd get in there and put in My taurus pedals and just whatever notes were not quite, SPEAKING i would just do an overdub of Mog taurus. Pedals and BUT i didn't Tell. Neil it was All. 00:19:36 Speaker 1: NEIL i hope he knows about. Now that's not WHAT i don't want him to find out. 00:19:41 Speaker 4: Here now he, knows he, knows he KNOWS i can mess with him a little. 00:19:45 Speaker 1: Bit did you did you? That? Love that is The neil is held an adventurous, artist and that is a really adventurous. Record did you Know neil before? 00:19:57 Speaker 4: That, Yes i've Known neil since uh? That, uh, Yeah i've known him since the late. 00:20:06 Speaker 1: Eighties, Okay and had you discussed working together Before? 00:20:12 Speaker 7: Lenois? 00:20:12 Speaker 1: No. 00:20:13 Speaker 4: NO i saw him In england WHEN i was music director for the release Of Nelson mandela and there was a big festival and big show was put on AND i was a music director for a portion of, it And neil turned up for that and we had a nice long conversation AND i asked him if he Missed, canada and he, said of course he. Does you, know but life sometimes just takes its own chorus and you follow that that. Path but he he understood that we were we were both operating by devoted. 00:20:51 Speaker 3: Hearts it's a big. 00:20:55 Speaker 4: Part devoted. Heart it's a big. 00:20:57 Speaker 1: Thing and That neil record was supposed to be acoustic to start, Right but. 00:21:02 Speaker 4: Yes he, said he called me and asked me IF i would record ten acoustic songs and film him as. WELL i was making films in those days with my Friend Adam, vallack and we had made some very nice, films AND i think that caught his eye and he, thought, well that could be a one stop, shop you, know to come out with a film as well as a music. Performance AND i tried to talk to filmmakers about this agen she's sitting right. There we. Were we recorded in the front room of my beautiful villa In Los, angeles fabulous old place as IF i built, it it's nineteen twenty. Five and if we thought we had a, TAKE i would immediately knock out a mix and give it To adam and he would run upstairs and. Synchronize this a one camera, shoot so it was not you didn't have to go from camera to. Cameras just a one camera, shoot as the performance has seen through the eyes of one individual and not an editing. Room that was the. Philosophy SO i would run, upstairs give him a mix and he'd find the locking. Point in a matter of twenty, minutes we had a playback of a film and a nice music, mix and it was we were like a great machine and we have fast. Results and we would, say, okay well let's try another. Take we'd go, down do another, take do a, mix take it upstairs And, adam let's, say we had a finished film right on the spot and it was really. 00:22:32 Speaker 1: Great that's incredible to. 00:22:35 Speaker 3: WORK i tried to Convince jenner. 00:22:38 Speaker 4: That she, said, well that's a bit too cowboy for. Us you want to see cowboy you're looking at. 00:22:42 Speaker 1: IT i mean that's fast by record making, standards let alone film Standing. 00:22:47 Speaker 4: Yeah, well the there's been some fast. Ones AND i worked fast With Willie. Nelson we made a record With, willie a nice record Called. Teatro made it in four. Days, yeah, man. 00:22:59 Speaker 1: Fast it's a big sounding. 00:23:02 Speaker 4: Record it's a great sounding, record but a lot of preparation went into it for it to be. 00:23:07 Speaker 1: Fast we'll be back with more after the. Break what kind of preparation do you do for a record like? That and then we can maybe listen to somes of people can hear. 00:23:22 Speaker 4: Okay well for the for The William nelson. RECORD i met him In Las vegas and we drove in To california With Emmy Loof and as we were crossing To, CALIFORNIA i called my crew AND i, said, okay you got to make the place look like a. Club BECAUSE i Asked willie what was it like when you were a kid, man when you were getting. Started he, said, well we were just a dance. Band we played these really nice clubs Around, austin and we had a, responsibility you, know cheek to Cheek dan saying two step you, know so we that's what we. Were we were a dance band and the clubs were. BEAUTIFUL i, thought, well why don't we recreate this this environment For. Willy so my crew there was A mexican runt across the street that just had refurbished and they had the old benches and, boots so they gave them to. Us so we set up the benches and booths all over the place and dimmed the. LIGHTS i had little risers and you wouldn't even think it was because it was in an old theater my

studio at the. Time And willie walked and he, said, wow, man what is? THIS i, said, well this is your new. Club and we made that record with no. Headphones the drummers wore, headphones but nobody else, did and we just knocked them. Out AND i had a good relationship with the police department in those, days AND i said to, them, listen will he's in the parking, lot please don't bother. Him you see any smoke? Signals turned the blind? 00:24:49 Speaker 1: Eye AND i guess in case we forgot to, mention do was In? Ventura? 00:24:54 Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah which is, right ox start, actually which is.

Doorknob that's when you start. Playing and we do a, take and they saw that's, great let's hear it. Back so we'd queue up And i'd put a chalk mark on it was analog, table that WAS i just put a chalk mark on the playback, head you, KNOW i, said here comes the door, knob and then we would make him a vachy THE vhs pardon me of, that and then his editor would just copy what we had done to synchronize. 00:26:25 Speaker 6: It. 00:26:29 Speaker 1: Uh but we should play some of That willie record because just so people get a sense that, this you, know in four days to make this kind of a sounding record in a in a makeshift club in sleepy you, Know, Oxford.

Day uh you also got for, that you Got DiAngelo to do a. Song, yes that's. 00:33:20 Speaker 4: Right, YEAH i worked with di'angelo and that was a real. SPECIAL i went in with a song in mind that didn't work out very, well and he said to, Me i'm not feeling. This you know, what what do you want to? DO i, said, well give me a day in the studio AND i prepared a track with A Brian blade drum beat THAT i, had AND i just came up with a whole other song THAT i, had uh presented to him as a co write With rocca De, luca myself and D'Angelo AND i worked out really. Well he's got an amazing left. Hand we we cut it. WELL i already had the, drums AS i, said With Brian blade and some With Cyriah neville playing. Percussion. Wow and THEN i built we, performed, uh him on roads and meon, guitar on guitar and acoustic guitar. Amplified and he has the most amazing left hand because D' angela was an organist prodigy in his father's, church so he's got that amazing dexterity with a left. Hand SO i never had to add a bass because he had had the most beautiful left hand. 00:34:37 Speaker 1: Part you, know a lot of the roads were. You were you a fan of D'Angelo before? That were you much aware of his work OR i was aware of his? 00:34:48 Speaker 4: Work, YES I i always admired his sense of. Time you, know he talked about everybody has their own way of looking at time and the behind the behind the b thing that he mastered beautifully and never to be. FORGOTTEN i don't know IF i don't know if it's necessary to ever get of that, again because h is It Black? Messiah? YEAH i think On Black. Messiah he listened to the grooves on. This oh my, goodness it's it's really a whole other way of looking at. Time. 00:35:20 Speaker 1: YEAH i would love to hear you guys work. Again that was such an, unexpected unexpected that he puts something out because he doesn't always do, that, unexpected that you guys co wrote something together and performed. IT i mean it was just. 00:35:33 Speaker 4: Beautiful, yeah he was apparently we were pretty fast by comparison to his usual, pace and we knocked it out pretty quick in a couple of. 00:35:43 Speaker 1: Weeks and, yeah you didn't kill him, Either, Dangel you Didn't kill The. 00:35:47 Speaker 3: Angel, yeah right here In New, york you know it. 00:35:49 Speaker 4: Was it was a lot of. Fun, yeah, MAN i love that. 00:35:51 Speaker 1: Guy you Mentioned Cyril neville of the Great Neville, Brothers, yeah, yeah And Yellow, moon which you did with with The neville Is. 00:36:04 Speaker 4: Yeah Yellow moon is a special record out Of New. ORLEANS i had gone To New york to get away from the. WORLD i rented a little apartment

AND i was happy to be working on my own. Music and then but they found me and they, said, Hey, landwill why don't you produce A Neville brothers? Record AND i had them come over my apartment and we did some demos that worked out pretty, well and on the strength of those, demos we decided to carry on and finish an. Album in, FACT i think one or two of the tracks from that record came out of my. Apartment AND i had a cheap little, mixer a little hill, mixer and a twelve track A kai some bizarre recording, system and my mixing machine was a Little sony cassette, machine a very nice, machine cassette dole be on it and. EVERYTHING i never bettered those, mixes AND i never told ANYBODY i used the cassette. 00:37:08 Speaker 3: For the album would have said, Anything, wow. 00:37:13 Speaker 1: No reason to. 00:37:14 Speaker 3: Her you, know there was something about the compression and the usual that. 00:37:19 Speaker 4: Happened you, KNOW. 00:37:22 Speaker 1: I want TO i don't. 00:37:23 Speaker 4: Care what medium would you? 00:37:28 Speaker 1: Use? 00:37:28 Speaker 4: Well who cares about? 00:37:29 Speaker 3: Mediums who? 00:37:30 Speaker 1: Cares exactly? Right she listened a little OF i want to listen to the Song voodoo from that, record just a little, bit listening to a touch of. 00:37:38 Speaker 4: That keep quiet, There, bred don't you just love The? South oh you must. 00:38:17 Speaker 6: Have put a budle. 00:38:18 Speaker 11: Home you must have. Casten we're not laughing you. There they don't talk. 00:38:35 Speaker 12: Cants oh you must have been born in candle wh make at so? Strong you must have springles all around that. Bay you must have had a black cat, boone. 00:39:07 Speaker 11: Just set out a. 00:39:08 Speaker 6: Glass what do you cut? 00:39:10 Speaker 2: It this? 00:39:10 Speaker 1: STUFF i don't even know when to take this. Out listen to a loop with, That, yeah, FOREVER i. 00:39:17 Speaker 4: Know it's hard to look back and hard to look. Ahead it, Is, yes it. Is couldn't agree. More, well, Okay i'll give the trick. Away they were all very good, percussionists and SO i said to, them, well let's let's not play the song just. Yet let's build the percussion. LOOPS i had everybody playing percussion and you can hear it at the. Beginning so that's all The neville brothers playing, percussion various cow bells and whatnot. 00:39:46 Speaker 1: On that fade. 00:39:47 Speaker 4: In on that fade, in and we played it maybe maybe a fifteen minute jam of. Percussion they go. Home i'd find the best sixteen bars of that and. Loop this was like we're talking, loops, right you, know like tape loops in those, days kind of around the room or on stands and pulleys and. Whatnot AND i dropped the best part of THE percussi back to the multi, track and when they came in the next, day they cut the track to their own. Percussion. Wow so it was a way of having a fixed time metronomic, time but not a click haoud be something that's got a lot of feel to, it as you can

hear in the. Track and then we're lucky enough to have me And Willie green on the drums And Tony hall on the. Base these are the top Level New orleans. PLAYERS i can't say enough About New, orleans you. KNOW i, Mean i'm A French canadian. KID i go down there AND i get a groove like. 00:40:42 Speaker 1: That, incredible and you were. SO i, mean and this is a, TIME i guess to set the scene as. Well like you had, mentioned you went down there to just do some, recording and you were. So at this, time you're Recording Yellow moon with The, nevilles you're Recording Bob Dylan's Oh, Mercy Why, mother that's a little bit, later but same. 00:41:06 Speaker 4: Era and you're also just a few months, apart a few. 00:41:08 Speaker 1: Months the, part and you're recording your own debut. 00:41:12 Speaker 4: Album the three albums done over the course of about nine.

Orleans he wrote one Called man in A Long Black coat that was written In New. 00:42:46 Speaker 1: Orleans that's an amazing. 00:42:48 Speaker 4: One, yeah he was very inspired by the whole. Scene we had, motorcycles nice vintage motorcycles at, all and he, said can you give me one of? These and then we got him a nice sixty Six, harley a real beauty and so he was having a good. Time you, know just nobody knew he was there and need me riding in the Night Byron.

as a. Seed the beginning of something has to have some kind of soul to to keep motivating as we move. Along, laurie how you doing some familiar faces there and so what you're hearing, there you, know started with with quite a strong feeling that we, were you, know acting as a keel for for the rest of the. Work and the worst thing THAT i can do in the studio is build on something that doesn't have that and that never really works. Out it's on the soul is the. 00:48:44 Speaker 1: Governor you can you can hear. That that's you can definitely hear that after this, break we're back with the rest of my conversation With Daniel. Landois after making some records like, that how do you decide to Leave New? ORLEANS i don't know IF i ever would have left if you're going to do with me been working to mind. 00:49:10 Speaker 4: You BUT i Left New orleans to go To mexico BECAUSE i wanted to keep going. South, yeah that's, IT i THOUGHT i. WAS i always like something About mexican, baselines AND i still don't fully comprehend them to this. Day and so those those amazing uh three, fours you, know with odd baselines and in between, rhythms they've got a little Di angelo in them. Themselves such an old culture of those grooves that they've found all the iss and in, betweens and it's quite touching for me to. 00:49:53 Speaker 7: Hear. 00:49:53 Speaker 4: Them AND i just wanted to keep going further. South AND i still want to keep going further. South what are we doing? 00:49:59 Speaker 7: Here where are you going? 00:50:00 Speaker 1: Next let's? Go did you make any records In? 00:50:04 Speaker 4: Mexico, YES I i Had Brian blade down there And Darryl, johnson great bass player From New. Ormans brian's From, Shreveport SO i was in the presence of two of the finest and we went down there and for about a YEAR i was stationed down there In, mexico AND i came up with a lot of very great psychedelic music THAT i still, have you, know have in my. Library some of it's. Unreleased, Man, well maybe we'll get to it one of these. 00:50:35 Speaker 1: Days you gotta you gotta gotta put that, out. Man AND i just got to, SAY i mean you always, Again Brian, Blade Tony, Hall DARRYL i, mean you're always just got the most incredible rhythm sections with. 00:50:48 Speaker 4: You you, know well why? Not you know it's, yeah why there's great players out there and they just need to build a little nest and lay some. 00:51:00 Speaker 1: EGGS i asked you about a song speaking of songs that are from deep within your your catalog and weren't released and then maybe or this one came, out but you're saying maybe you shouldn't have put it. Out BUT i asked you about a song called Warm up to The, heart which came out on a series of releases Called omni or is a three disc. Release would you mind playing through that a? 00:51:26 Speaker 4: Bit, well justin you, Know i'll do it for, you. MAN i haven't played it, since so let's see IF i can get through. 00:51:31 Speaker 1: It thank. 00:51:32 Speaker 4: You i'll do a. 00:51:48 Speaker 14: Preamble spot. 00:54:48 Speaker 8: Are a. 00:55:32 Speaker 5: Stock, o. 00:56:46 Speaker 1: Thank. 00:56:47 Speaker 10: You Thank. 00:56:56 Speaker 4: Maybe while we're, here we've talked a little bit about this technique of turning up loud but playing quiet, please which is, Uh dawna knows this well because she is a fand Of Jim hendrix AS i. Am and so you can pluck a, note, garth you crank me up about fifteen twenty. Percent i'll give you an example of. This so SO i pluck a note and THEN i bring the shimmer, up So i'm not doing anything here. 00:58:33 Speaker 7: Change so it's A it's a technique THAT. 00:59:43 Speaker 4: I found pretty early on in my playing BECAUSE i wasn't about to be a Great texas steel guitar, player SO i, thought, well maybe there's something in there that belongs to me, Then so that's that's one of the things that came to me is IF i played the, melody let me just clean things up me we'll Play Danny. Boy so little scraping THAT i do triggers the notes THAT i didn't play in the, melody but they're in the, chord and so you get them monamable and then that's as if somebody had written a little arrangement of harmonics surrounding the. Melody and so that's a technique That i'd like to. Use and it takes me to those WHAT i Call Bernard hermann chore is one of my Favorite american composers. Psychamical excuse, me, sorry that was fault of my. Shoe THEN i got the scraping sound And, wayne Whereas Wayne Wayne lorenz built me this little sustained machine here that. Goes SO i can think of them as little hidden chords available in between melodies that make the almost as if harmonics are our a little, orchestra orchestra behind the. Melody and it's. 01:02:58 Speaker 1: Because you're playing softly and because you've turned to the volume up so loud that you're. 01:03:03 Speaker 4: Able to AND i can do the shimmer thing THAT i. Described it's a technique That jamaican bass players abused, historically where you turn up super, loud lot all the bass base all the way, up trouble all the way, down but you play. Soft you don't hammer it because then you kill the. Sounds so it's it's a similar. Philosophy but did. 01:03:29 Speaker 1: You know that when you did you did you discover that after you discovered this technique or did you know that? 01:03:35 Speaker 4: Well and then it was pretty easy to figure out all of the bass players we're doing In, jamaica you. Know JUST i, Mean i'm not SAYING i played like, them BUT i could figure it. 01:03:47 Speaker 1: Out you, know not everyone. HAS i can say. 01:03:53 Speaker 4: THAT i think a lot of soul would be part of the recipe back to SO i don't know IF i can say, up let me play a little melody for you THAT i wrote as a hymn and it made its way into the Film Friday Night. Lights if anyone ever saw that, Film just when they don't make that last, yard the screen goes silent and it goes slow, mode and then this tune come. Up M. M i'll kill my echoes here and Let

garth do his. Thing, garth you're. On he's got some beautiful shut on sound here is designed By John, meyer one of the greats. 01:06:12 Speaker 6: And. 01:06:14 Speaker 15: Change WHEN i play it, LIVE i usually go, crazy but that's with a much bigger. 01:07:44 Speaker 4: Sound let's see IF i can get away with. It, Hire i'll go to a rain drop sound to try and take. It how us speak Of Laurie anderson? 01:09:20 Speaker 5: Sound oh, well, yeah. 01:10:36 Speaker 1: Oh that's. 01:10:36 Speaker 4: Beautiful now these, uh these folks that put a lot of time into this. Room behind these panels are multiple speakers and designed By John, meyer one of the one of the, greats And garth up there is that in The. Helm thank You. Garth you could hear the WHEN i Asked gartha give us the beautiful surround sounded. It it developed more of an. Expanse so we look for things. 01:11:08 Speaker 1: Like that in The. 01:11:08 Speaker 4: Student you, KNOW i Mean john is obviously done here in a physical, space but we try and create The we are illusionists really as record, makers so we create a sense of depth because if everything's on the same, plane if you if you have everything on the same plane where you don't have things sounding far, away then that's not as interesting a. Painting so if you think of music as, painting it's nice to see something in the. Shadows maybe on a second, listen you hear a little component that you hadn't noticed before and keeps you curious about her. Work AND i think great photographs have that in, them great, Films donna's plan has. 01:11:52 Speaker 3: That you know SHE. 01:11:55 Speaker 4: I won't go on too much more In. Donna she's my favorite, guitarist right now we're working, together AND i got a couple of tricks up in my sleep for. You so depth we're experiencing it in this, room as small as it, is there's a sense of depth and depth in sound and depth in. 01:12:16 Speaker 1: SENTIMENT i think it's a great note to go out. On is we're not going to get any better than that. 01:12:22 Speaker 4: Plane I'm i'm GLAD i let you hear that little hymn because there's something about These it's obviously designed in an ancient. Manner it's as if it could have been, written you, know one hundred years. Ago that has a little bit Of ireland in. It AND i spent a lot of time, there AND i THINK i wrote that, song that little melody In. 01:12:44 Speaker 1: Ireland you did. 01:12:47 Speaker 4: Just walk home from work every night looking down at The Liffy liffey's the river runs through a doublin on a quiet, night it's almost spilling over the brim and it's like like, black like you're looking at a black. Mirror that river was so inspiring to. ME i spent looking at that. River that's. 01:13:11 Speaker 1: Amazing, well thank you so, Much Daniel.
