Really interesting to hear about how you write melodies and try to ‘throw in the monkey wrench’. The dopamine rush you described is exactly what I felt the first time I heard the chorus to Phantom Limb (and every time since) and so many other songs of yours
Sound was great, especially the vocals, and the captions helped when the feed was dodgy. Had to listen on delay because I'm in Italy. But normally in Taos: love The Shins, S-K, and especially Broken Bells!
Hey James and gang. Loved watching that. Must admit I'm trying to work out Substack, I'm either very old, or it just ain't that clear a thingy. 🤔 (I reckon the latter). Genuinely appreciate you sharing you, and your friends. ❤️ Not only do I love your lyrics, but getting an insight into those lyrics that yoy love too. Anyway, must stop or I'll try to write everything! Hopefully plenty of time to drop more lines, find out and share more. BTW, not sure you need to be drowning in vermouth quite yet...(no matter how much you want to....).

Play This Too Shall Pass by Danny Schmidt. It’s a beautiful song!
