    I’ve always wanted a split album where these two bands cover each others songs. I hear it in my head.

    I love how this episode was really about the process of writing and didn’t get into the gear side of it. It’s all interesting, but this one was really introspective. Ben is a true professional songwriter.

    • @RealMattKiefer

    So insane to see two lead singers and songwriters who have made some of the most amazing sounding songs and stuck with it for so long. I just think about when a Jimmy song really hits hard and when a Death Cab song really hits hard and it gives me chills knowing these two figured it out over and over for so long. We are truly made to be like our Creator. It’s who we are.

    Jim, please get Claudio Sanchez from Coheed and Cambria on your podcast, and ask him how he decided to play A Praise Chorus live on an acoustic show, he explained that briefly when he played it but it will be great to hear the version with you in person, by the way, I enjoy a lot your interviews, keep the good vibes coming.

    This seems unreal. Been listening to his music high school and now I get to watch these. I'm hooked on YT, that's for sure. Can't get enough. Jim Adkins is a rare talent. Brilliant musician and song writer. My fav band since 2003 - Jimmy Eat World.

    Based on this fender ad alone, I now assume Jim has either played, or plays D&D.

    Great interview, as always. Really loved that final sentiment from Ben on songwriting. Put me in mind of something Paul Banks said in a Noisey doc of his 2012 solo album: "As a biological function of being alive, I'm gonna make music whether or not people get it or respond to it."

    @freaksarise 4 роки тому +4

    as songwriters that feel like conduits for something we channel from another place, or its just stuck in our subconscious, often its like removing a splinter. You keep picking at it even though its getting infected but you need to extract it because you cant see it but know its there...but the infection is more an unhappier place as we dwell on yanking it out. But what a payoff when we finally get there.

  • @scottbaylo
    @scottbaylo 4 роки тому +1

    Roughly 8:00 mark- I usually refer to it as the songs are being channeled to/through me (as fruity as that sounds). The subject matter of the lyrics are usually from personal experience, and the music could be something I've been working on for a few years, but I know it's not coming completely from me because of how quickly it's being pushed through. Sometimes I can't write it down fast enough.

  • @brianmclendon1647
    @brianmclendon1647 4 роки тому

    Great show, every guest you have had thus far has been amazing. I also happened to notice the rack of Chandler LTD 1’s and Germanium preamps in the background......I would do very bad things for that rack so rad!!!!!
    A studio / gear tour would be awesome.

    Demo jams?
    I think a good question would be is there a demo jam that you listen to as a sort of hype song?
    Maybe a jam that gets your mood right or inspires you to follow the journey to the final conclusion of a completely different song with a completely different feel. Or is there a certain song/band/genre that you find yourself going back to, for some reason that helps motivate or inspire you.
    Love the show
    Always liked your music
    And you have the best guest so far
    Keep up the great work
