DSF 029: Introduction to MUSIC Dynamics - Part II

DSF 029: Introduction to MUSIC Dynamics - Part II with guest: Peter

We take music apart in the best way: not to judge it, but to notice what makes it hit deeper than the hook. We talk about the stories, trends, and physical reactions that turn a song into a memory and a daily tool for mood and meaning.

• behind-the-scenes artist and album context that changes how we hear a track 
• remakes and covers that outperform the original for some listeners 
• music in movies and TV that creates instant emotional association 
• video game soundtracks as immersion for some and distraction for others 
• playlists as mood tools for focus, workouts, riding, calm, and emotional release 
• trends like AI-generated music, vinyl’s return, and virtual or hologram concerts 
• why live shows feel different than recordings and why each night has its own energy 
• quirky songs and odd album covers that stick for life 
• music videos that clarify a story or pull attention away from the song 
• singing contests and how format and judging shape what gets rewarded 
• the body’s response to music: chills, tears, adrenaline, nostalgia, and connection to life chapters

SPEAKER_03 0:14

Hello, our dynamics community. This is your host, Marianna. Here to welcome you to the Dynamics Show, where personal development meets daily life. On this podcast, we know there's no one size fits all path

Welcome And The Point Of Music

SPEAKER_03 0:30

in life, which is why each episode is crafted for you to align with your own dynamic self on your terms. Our journey here is filled with options, opportunities, and infinite possibilities. So let's uncover the reason you are here because you'll always hear what you need to and explore what's possible together. So today our discussion recording will be a part two of our new dynamic music dynamics. And I have again the pleasure of being joined by my brother, Peter. Welcome, Peter. Thanks for having me once again. Once again, awesome. Glad that you're here. There's so much to music beyond just uh the words or what the meaning might be or the meaning behind everything or why it was written in the first place. So there's so much more to that. We're gonna talk about what would you want in a music podcast? What what would interest you? But we're going over now just some of the key topics of that. The last one in part one, I didn't really say the definition because most people know what music is, but I thought maybe I should just look it up, as I usually do in more than one source, the definition of what it comes up as for music. And here is two. Vocal or instrumental sounds, or both combined in such a way as to produce beauty of form, harmony, and expression of emotion. Sounds right?

SPEAKER_00 2:12

Nailed it.

SPEAKER_03 2:13

And the other one is written or printed uh signs of the music signs themselves, like when people are reading music. And then the other ones that I looked up to are similar variation of that. We always like to set the tone first though, uh, for our time together. It's it's more than just a podcast. We are here to remind you that flowing through each one of us is a dynamic energy that is ours to use every single day. And that's why the day in dynamics is capitalized. It is a daily choice to live a dynamic life. So let's take a moment to center ourselves, take a deep breath in and out and be fully present. Listen with an open heart and an open mind, since we know what we focus on expands. And today we're gonna expand more about music. So let's get right into some of the topics that we think would make a good music podcast, as well as many more things that we're unfolding in this dynamics of music. Peter, what do you think about like the behind the scenes stories of artists and albums? Do you think that it's important again to know that at some point along the way? Like if you hear something on the radio, you're not gonna go, oh, I'm gonna go check the album. I'm gonna do

Behind The Scenes That Change Listening

SPEAKER_03 3:42

or maybe you do, but do you think that that's an important thing?

SPEAKER_00 3:47

Like, do you like the behind the scenes, or is it more when like you're in you're more invested in a group or a singer or personally, if I hear some song that I've never heard on the radio, but I really like the I really like it, and it's like, oh I'm gonna go listen to that song like again when I'm able to physically listen. Maybe as you're driving in a car and it's like you you're you're listening to it and you're like you're digging it, but it's like you you want to kind of dig into it because you really enjoy it, maybe you enjoy the the band's presentation of that song, or maybe it's a remake.

unknown 4:22

True.

SPEAKER_00 4:22

You know, they've done a really killer job on it, and you're like, wow, that original song, I just didn't like it, but this person's remake, wow.

SPEAKER_03 4:31

Can I put in an example of I know you like the sound of silence?

SPEAKER_00 4:36

Yeah. Disturbed redid the sound of silence, and it was yeah, step aside, because that was like it was amazing. Did I get into high detail on that particular song of of why they redid it? I did watch a few interviews of of the lead singer who did do it, say why, and but at the same time, I would not have gone into that. If I get into a band and I'm just like, wow, almost every song this band sings, I I really enjoy. And then it's like, then I'll my my first step is the lyrics. I'll I'll look at the lyrics and what are they actually trying to say here? Because I really enjoy how they presented it, but what am I actually enjoying? Is it you know, what's what's the song about? And then sometimes you can get into it's like, wow, why would they write what must have been going through them as a band to lead lead them to create this awesome song that is just incredible, but when you read the lyrics, it doesn't seem to have that same fit. You you may have some examples of that.

SPEAKER_03 5:39

Yeah. Diving into, like you said, the untold stories behind some of this sometimes is fascinating. And, you know, an example of this is Fleetwood Max rumors. They recorded while the band members were going through personal breakups and issues with getting along with each other. They were able to put their stuff aside and still create such an awesome album. So it's just like it's interesting the turmoil or the challenges or the contrasts that they're going through sometimes. So yeah. So just knowing that, like after the fact, it's like, really? That's what was happening? Like, you guys did an awesome job, right? So that's awesome. Thanks for your feedback, Peter. And I think we'll just go right into the next one because I I find this fascinating because you don't realize how much music shows up in pulp culture, but also how music intersects with the movies and TV shows

Music Inside Movies Shows And Games

SPEAKER_03 6:39

and video games and and so many things in our life where if you've never heard the song before, you're like, yeah, what is that? Or if you know the song, you're like, oh, this movie's playing it, or this show. Or sometimes when they say to the artist, like, oh, can you create a song for a video, or you can create a song for a movie, or something like that. So what's your thoughts on how that all intersects together?

SPEAKER_00 7:06

Well, I think I think it it's kind of interesting, actually, because there's certain songs that you know you listen to previous to a movie coming out and had no association, no anything. And then all of a sudden this movie comes out, and I'll I'll use like the Top Gun anthem.

SPEAKER_01 7:24

You know, it's like damn.

SPEAKER_00 7:26

It's like, okay, you already know what you're listening to, and it's like you get hair stands out in the back of your neck, and it's like, oh, this is so cool because I know what's about to happen. And I believe it's Miami Vikes, it was that had the always played in, as like that was really cool. And now every time I hear that song, it's like it's like I think it was actually made for that. I'm not even sure. Yeah, but it's totally associated with that show.

SPEAKER_03 7:48

And yeah, or you could be somewhere like out in the kitchen and your TV's going somewhere else and you hear the music, you know exactly what show it's gonna be or something to do.

SPEAKER_00 7:56

Yeah, it's like friends and stuff like that. Like that's actually a song, like that it was it was made for them, but it's a song and you can go listen to it. It's just not the same because when you hear the full part.

SPEAKER_03 8:10

And you can share more after this if you'd like. It just reminds me, like, I watched Young and Restless for the longest time with my mom. You know, that was our afternoon thing. Yeah. And I didn't even realize the music in it was an actual song. Like I had no idea until, I don't know, probably 10 years into watching it, then someone said, Oh, yeah, that's an actual full song. And I was like, What? I just thought it was like in how you do the an intro or outro to a lot of stuff. And it's like that we do on this podcast as well, but it's instrumental. And and then you the movies too that you see for kids nowadays, with oh, okay, well, you have adults singing with the kids all the time. Especially if you have kids and it's less like, oh, this song. Like I know our sister constantly with her grandkids are just singing whatever song that the kids are into at that moment on whatever princess songs or fish songs, I don't know. What about with video games being a video game? Or do you focus as much on the music behind the stuff or personally?

SPEAKER_00 9:10

I don't. I know several people who always will buy the soundtrack of the game. Oh uh, which I I just like to me, it's more about the game. I used to turn the music off, to be quite honest, because it's like it's a distraction to me. Some of the stuff is pretty cool though, I gotta admit. Like, there's some some good uh good soundtracks, but there are several bands that actually will do uh music. I know Lincoln Park did one for there was a a gaming tournament that was happening and they got Lincoln Park to do that's cool the the song for it, and was like very hard and very like getting them pumped up and ready. Yeah, yeah. And then like uh Lincoln Park also did one for movie Transformers called New Divide. Again, these are things that I found out when I when I jumped in and and dug into the you know Lincoln Park rabbit hole of all these things. I didn't know that. I didn't know that, and it just makes you appreciate the song maybe a little bit more, but it it may not have changed my mind from not liking it to liking it, but if I already liked it, it's like it's another reason I like it.

SPEAKER_03 10:13

Yeah, and another association. Yeah. I recognize that you have mentioned Lincoln Park in part one as well, so you might just create new fans for them by saying their names. So yeah, thanks for your feedback on that. We'll go back, we'll go on to the next question here. I think in any great podcast, you have to talk about the role of music in everyday life, how we're using it daily in what we do. We did talk a little bit about it in part one of the Music Dynamics podcast

The Psychology Behind Your Playlists

SPEAKER_03 10:48

about working out or studying or relaxing or whatever you might be using it for. The second side of that is just to discuss the psychology of the playlist that we pick and why do we create them to reflect on us and what why we would choose a playlist. So what what would you say that you would make a playlist for? Is it just because your favorite songs, or is it, you know, because oh, I'm gonna use this when I go out for a walk in my headphones? Because there's so many reasons why you could make a playlist, but why do you make a playlist?

SPEAKER_00 11:23

If you do. I actually do. I actually have like within Spotify, they make it pretty easy to make playlists. And when I go out on my motorbike, I have a certain playlist because I I want fast paced, very, very pumped, very high tempo kind of music because I I want to stay alert. Uh like it just keeps me like just yeah, like you're in the moment. In the moment. You're very uh reactive because you know your mind's going fast with the pat fast pacing the tempo and stuff. There's certain like a genre of music. I'll make like a a country playlist because if I'm in that mode, right? If I'm I'm out doing something, it's like, you know what, I want to listen to just some country music and and like I'll even break that down into like the older country, like your Johnny Cash's of the world, and then and stuff, like that older stuff, if I'm in that in that mindset, right? And then there's other people like you know, they'll have like the workout playlist, it's like, yeah, I want it, you know, just similar to my motorbike playlist. They want high tempo because you're trying to keep that certain beat and uh keep that speed up. And then there's obviously like like I also have like several in into the the the ballad stuff or like just my favorites, have a live music one. There's all kinds, it's just I do a playlist for the mood, and then if I'm just in a very random open mood, I'll just go random from all of it. Right. So it's just kind of like I I have another one, it's just all the songs that I click like on, which is a lot. Yeah. So it'll I'll just go to my liked one and I'll go play random because everything in there, like who knows what I'll be listening to in five minutes on that list.

SPEAKER_03 13:02

But that brings up a good point because I used to make playlists just for an artist alone, which I still have. Because not not every artist do I like every every song, you know. But now I make the playlist like similar to like for the genre or the the mood that I I'm in. And it's just like, okay, I need to cry, or I need to like pump it up because I'm at the gym, or I need like whatever meditation or whatever it might be, and just and me doing my Reiki and stuff. Mm something might rap might not work for someone that's trying to relax, right? So you just have to have that ready and prepared. And for me, it's just like, yeah, okay, this is a mood I'm in, you know? Yeah. So you you bring up a great point on that. Thanks so much. So we can't really talk about music without talking about some of the music trends. And then we're gonna we're gonna predict on this. How about that, brother? We're gonna talk about predicting what's gonna unfold with music. Like, do you

Trends Like AI Vinyl And Holograms

SPEAKER_03 14:04

think some of the current trends are like with AI generated music coming up? I know we talked a little bit about it in part one, but I know for sure the resurgence of vinyl because my husband has a record player and he loves listening to that crackling vinyl and picks some of his favorite albums. And then you hear songs you haven't heard of for a long time, and then just things like how people are using them in social media, even as they're doing advertisements or whatever. Like, do you think that like the AI generation part is gonna change? And then not to even talk about, well, live concerts, will there still be as many, or will they go virtual, or all these holograms of artists becoming now, like bringing people back from the Elvis I've seen, the this and that, and people singing with their father or their mother that's already passed because of the holograms that they can bring up and do now. So from a music trend, what what do you think is going to go as we move forward now?

SPEAKER_00 15:08

Not really sure. I know the AI thing is scary because it in some degree do quite a good job.

SPEAKER_03 15:16

You can even duplicate yourself too to talk, right?

SPEAKER_00 15:19

It's like you you gotta be careful what you see on uh videos and stuff, because you don't know if it's actually real. Like it's just so good. I know YouTube, they didn't even know it was like this song was about them, so you can send words to some company and whatever, they'll turn it into a love song of your life story with your husband, wife, whatever, right? Yeah, it's like damn, like that's pretty cool. And it's just it's all just generated, and it's like, wow. Yes, that's something else.

SPEAKER_03 15:52

That brings up another point, is because I downloaded like a free version of I think it's called Suno S-U-N-O, because I do the kid dynamic stuff. I have the words to a whole bunch of kids' songs, but I don't have the music.

SPEAKER_01 16:06

Oh, okay.

SPEAKER_03 16:06

So what they do is like you put your words in and then they give you three versions of what it could sound like based on you go pick fun, kids, this, uplifting, and then they generate these songs for you. Well, I don't know, it's scary. I think it's pretty cool. It's gonna save me a lot of time because the otherwise I'll have to go find an artist or try to do it in garage band or or whatever music app that we use. Don't want to leave anyone out here. People listen to this all around the world, so whatever app or however you guys do it, great.

SPEAKER_00 16:37

But I don't know a live band or or someone that's you get it, like if if if it was a live band, like I mean, some live bands are so amazing that it's just like they can stop drop and roll on oh, you want it a little faster, a little slower, you want this, you want that genre, and all of a sudden it's there, like they're amazing. Kudos to anyone out there that has a band that is like that because it just I think you're just amazing. When it all comes down to it, like they still have to prepare and they they have to figure it all out. And there's studio time, which cause you know, there's different yeah, everybody has lives, even bands. Yeah, you know, it's like, hey, I'm gonna get my you know five or six guys together to do this song for you. So it's a big deal. You know, this AI thing, it's just like, here's my words, and you know, it spits something out for you. It's like, oh wow, definitely a thing.

SPEAKER_03 17:26

So for the future of music in general, like anything, who knows how creative minds are gonna just come up with more and more things. But it's like we either sort of go with the flow with it or we resist it. But it's gonna happen regardless. And the the nice thing is, is we in our household, we have a combination of everything. Like we have the old record player things to okay, like what are we watching on whatever, or what are we listening to on one of the, you know, many, many platforms that offer music? So it's just it's such a there's so much available right now for sure.

SPEAKER_00 18:04

You brought up a interesting concept, and you said it's like, you know, are concerts gonna be live or virtual?

SPEAKER_03 18:12

It's like well, there's both right now.

SPEAKER_00 18:14

There is, but it's like can you actually feel that live, like being there? Like can you actually feel that bass just pound through you as yeah, yeah, use your favorite. Or just the energy of the audience if you're in it. Yeah, can you feel that? Like that's ooh, that's just that just powers your oh yeah.

SPEAKER_03 18:36

This was a many years ago, but I was on the floor for you two. They they are so amazing at live in concert, and then they're right there because you're on the floor. So it's like you you're just in it. And then they started doing this. You all sort of move the crowd like you're swaying and everyone's swaying with you. And and like I think I was maybe because they had no seats for the first 10 rows. They took all the seats out, and it was just you paid extra for standing room right in front of them. Yeah, that was me. Until I had to be taken up because feeling squished and sort of claustrophobic, and I was a little short around all these beautiful tall people. And because they said when they started, there's like, anyone that needs help, raise your hands. So there's all these security guards.

SPEAKER_01 19:25

So I was like, waving my hand, crazy.

SPEAKER_03 19:27

So yeah, no, get me out of here exactly. And then I lost my jacket on the floor, and I was like, There's no way I'm going after that jacket, I'll probably trample or something. No, not that it was it, and it wasn't rowdy, that's the thing. There was just so much, and it was the first huge concert, like U2 that I'd gone to. And so, yeah, they lifted me up, and then they're like, Okay, go here, walk to the very back again. If you want to come up closer, then just be careful this time.

SPEAKER_00 19:55

Yes. Yes. You mentioned U2 in a concert. We had we had U2 here in the in a in our province here, and it was out in a field.

SPEAKER_01 20:04

Oh, how cool.

SPEAKER_00 20:05

It was the 360. And you'll have to forgive me because I don't remember the guy that was in the space station at the time. But during the concert, they said if you look up right now, like right up there is the space station.

SPEAKER_01 20:18

Oh, that's whatever.

SPEAKER_00 20:20

And live from the space station is the guy that was in it, and he's talking down through to us.

SPEAKER_03 20:25

Oh, that's awesome. Yeah, it was awesome. Yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_00 20:28

Really? Yeah, this is so cool. But you that was just so like, wow. Like, you know what I mean? You don't I don't think you get that really as much virtually. Of like you were literally there and it had the big screens, and he's on the big screen saying a message, and you're out in the wilderness, and there's a great big well, if anyone ever saw the three uh the 360 U2 stage, it was 360 degrees around, looked like a big spider, and a great big screens and stuff, and it was a beautiful night, and you're looking up, you can actually see like a flash of light. I don't know, it could have been anything, but it to me it was like, there he is, he's going by, and he just said hi down here. It's like, wow, that was like out of this world experience.

SPEAKER_01 21:10

Yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_00 21:12

But like, how do you replace that with something virtual and stuff? But anyway, I I get both ways.

SPEAKER_03 21:17

I think when if you really like a band and you know that they're on concert, then you know you can go to YouTube or something to see them play. Like I think I've watched Youngblood. I mean, so many people just post stuff. You get the feel for it, but you're right. They always say, like, this doesn't do it justice. Have you ever heard that? This video does not do it justice because you have to feel it and be in it, and then everyone's celebrating this person or or people on stage. So yeah.

SPEAKER_00 21:48

So I remember going to some some concerts where the lead up to the concert is you're walking into the stadium and they're playing, not even the band that you're there to see, but they're just playing some like film music until like the opening band gets there. It's like the energy is just like it's just filling you. It's like we are gonna have a good time tonight. And then I remember I went to see Ozzie Osborne here a long time ago. Walking down the the stairs, and it's like we were on the floor too, kind of thing. It's like, oh, like we're pretty close. We didn't way closer than we thought we were. When you're there, it's like, well, the stage is huge, it's right there. We're like, yeah, we're gonna have great seats. Yeah. But just like the energy leading up to that. And then when he came out, it was like, oh wow, like just yeah, you know, it was just like it was really cool. So yeah, I get all that stuff.

SPEAKER_03 22:38

Yeah. I mean, do what you can, right? Like not everyone can go to any concert or whatever. But given the choice, depending on what kind of good sound system you have at your house, too, and and and screen, like you can feel like you're at the concert, but but yeah, there there is a difference about being a person. To finish up this this topic is I like the more intimate ones, like we went to see Rod Stewart. I like that instead of like this huge, huge, huge festival because then there's bathroom lineups and there's this and that. For sure. Yeah, anyway, okay, cool. That that we covered that real one real good. Another great topic around a music podcast too would be the fun and quirky ones. Either the albums with the really cool or funny or quirky covers, and you go, like, what? Like, and what does

Live Concert Energy You Cannot Stream

SPEAKER_03 23:32

this mean? And and but it gets your attention enough because the artwork is great or whatever. And then then you get all these different people from different parts of the world that have their own like quirky little songs that they like, or you know, the when I I just want to say that whenever I say music or artists or bands, I'm talking about every kind, not specific to any kind, unless we specify it. What do you think about that the little the little quirky and the little things that we have as far as like the funniest songs or the weirdest songs or there's so many little songs that you kind of grow up in your life with, and it's like, I don't even know what that was, but I love it. Yeah. You've been hearing it your whole life, and you just you just as soon as someone starts singing it, you're like, Yep, I know that song, you know.

unknown 24:25

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 24:26

I'll bring up a song that my uh brother-in-law did, and uh when we used to play guitar together, and it was a song called Potholes. It was about potholes in the in the in the city, how how bad they were in the spring. Never got famous on it or anything like that, but it was such a fun little song to sing, and saying how bad the potholes were, and if you drove into one, your car might not come out, kind of thing.

SPEAKER_01 24:49

Yes.

SPEAKER_00 24:50

It was just a funny little quirky uh song, and it's just like, yeah, this is how it starts, right?

SPEAKER_03 24:56

So exactly. Talking about real life a lot of times. A lot of the songs are about real life stuff.

SPEAKER_00 25:01

So all about the empathy of relating to your poor car getting beat up.

SPEAKER_03 25:05

Yes. Yeah, but just having that. Yeah, I remember you guys singing that many times. So, yeah. Nice. Let's go on. Another good thing to talk about around the music stuff is do you find the videos that go with a song generally enhancing it or detracting from the music? What do you think about that, Peter?

SPEAKER_00 25:29

Videos. Videos.

SPEAKER_03 25:32

Like we're talking primarily music videos or music concerts, or but mostly the videos of a certain song. Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 25:38

Yeah. Some videos, uh man, they're just so they just bring the song so tightly together, and you say, wow, that's what that's about. And it kind of tells that story when the artist decides that they want to make it exactly to fit that song in their view. And then there's always the ones that you watch the video and you go, what was that?

SPEAKER_01 26:01

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 26:01

Because inside my mind, the physical words of that song and the what I've watched in my eyes have nothing to do with each other. Yeah, videos can enhance a song, or they can they can definitely be a very big distraction.

SPEAKER_03 26:19

And remember, we we've talked about it maybe part one, you know, just wanting to know the meaning. Like sometimes if I like the band or the artist enough that I will go back and go, what was that video? Like, why did they do it that way? But then when I understand it and I go back and listen to it, it is relating to the song, but it's not, but not not everyone's gonna do that. Some people will just be like, What was that? Or it was like, yeah, no, that's cool. I understand the song even better now because I understand why they did it. You know, yeah.

SPEAKER_00 26:52

Yeah, I can think of several videos in my mind right now that I like the video is such a distraction from the beauty of the song that been is being played because you're so tied up in the movie and and not paying attention to the music. Yes, right. So yeah. Some can be a huge distraction. Other ones, it's just like it totally paints that picture of it's like, wow, that's pretty. That that that's it. That's it. That you just matched the movie in my mind. Like it's yeah, there it is on the screen. It's like good job. Or good job on my part for getting it.

SPEAKER_01 27:25

Yeah, exactly.

SPEAKER_03 27:27

And we, you know, we had talked about doing some uh reaction videos to some of the songs and artists, and when we've been watching others do it, sometimes you notice that they're you know, if you're a visual person that if they're live, then that's cool because you just focus usually on one thing. But if they're watching the video of the song, it's a whole different thing because we watch someone they get completely emotional just from what was being shown to them versus just sitting back and watching them live and you're only focused on them versus what's going on. So there's a whole difference there. Yeah. Yeah.

unknown 28:04

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 28:05

It's like, are you listening or are you watching? It's uh you know, are you here for the video or you're here for the sound?

SPEAKER_03 28:10

Yeah. I think I like just watching them live and doing the reaction side on that side because I mean, it may be mentioning the video when you're talking about it through it as well, but just watching them live, I think there's just something different because they're always different. You know, every performance is different. Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 28:28

Yeah. It is definitely one of those things. Pearl Jam. They usually do very long concerts. And uh, but there's a few songs that I just absolutely the love and the live version, like it's different, like you say, every time. Like I've watched hundreds of them, it seems. You can see if you know Eddie was into that song that night versus the next night he did it. It was like, wow, like he's just not quite there tonight, and and then you watched it again, and it's like, holy, like the emotion coming out of that guy. And I can remember one concert that I watched. It was kind of a work up to the song or whatever. There was a guy that got in line like three or four days beforehand just to make sure that he he goes to almost every concert uh that he can make uh for pro pro jam, whatever. And he was going through some stuff. There's a song called Release Me. It was he was like, Eddie called him out before he sang the song. He did like a little workout presentation. He says, you know, where's forgive me, I don't remember his name, but so where's Buddy in the crowd? And it's like, so I heard you were in line for X amount of days beforehand, and it's like, you know, I heard you're going through some stuff and this one's for you, and yeah, it was good.

SPEAKER_01 29:49

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 29:50

It you know, it gave uh there's a whole lot more depth to that song on that particular concert than maybe the the concert before that. Yeah. So each individual concert has its own energy, and you'll you'll definitely watch a video of your favorite band that is is alive, someone recorded the live concert or they did themselves and and they're doing each city that they they've visited, and like some of them are so intimate. Like they're so they're so into it, and then you watch the next one maybe a week later, the next night, wherever they do, and it's they're just not either the crowd's not with them or they're not gelling as much. Yeah, yeah. And it's it really kind of makes that difference to me.

SPEAKER_03 30:33

So well, it's a good thing we're not on video because when Peter, when you were talking about that, my eyes started watering up, you know. That would be me in the reactions. I'd be the one watering up in my eyes or something. Because it'd be like right right to the heart, right? Like meaningful stuff. I love, and you know, listening to all my different podcasts, it's more about being meaningful than just putting content out there. So that's why at this time on our podcast journey is it's twice a month. It was once a month and I made it twice a month now. So hopefully we'll be doing more with this. Now, I want to go on to the next topic, and that's what do you feel now about, you know, all the

Quirky Songs Videos And Live Reactions

SPEAKER_03 31:22

singing contests? You look at America's talent or American Idol or the voice. Like, how do you feel that that is shaping music right now? Because you see, especially on any of them, you can have anywhere from the the youngest age that they allow to the oldest age that want to come forward that have been in the industry for a long time and sort of hasn't in their eyes made it. And then that this gives them exposure. But how do you feel it's shaping it? I I know I think it gives hope to people. One, I just want to preface, they're all great and they all serve. What do you think about the singing contests in general?

SPEAKER_00 32:08

You you said the magical thing is like you know, they're all great. They're they are all great in their own way. Right. So if you're if you're on a particular one, like uh say for the voice or whatever, they they they're they they can't physically see them, it's all about do they have a good singing voice, can they hold a pitch, tempo, what all that stuff. And then if they like them, they'll turn around. And then they get you know that presentation, the look, the whatever. And then there's other ones like American Idol, it's like they they physically see them, they come out, and I I find some of that might be judgmental on how the person potentially looks, whether they're star quality kind of thing or not. And I I think they're great. You know, they do bring out the best out of the competition. Like certain certain artists can sing like Whitney Houston Houston amazingly, right? So they just had that voice that was, oh, that's so great, but then they try to sing somebody else's cover. It's just like, oh no, no, no, no. Yeah, go go back to where you were because they just happen to have that. But I think there's a lot of like talent that comes up. Like, look at look at Kelly Clarkson. Like, I mean, when that Carrie Underwoods, Carrie Underwood and all that. When that when when can like I'll never forget watching the very first American Idol. I know, I think. I was with Kelly like right from the day. Yeah, like I saw her as like, oh, she can sing, right? And as like, I think I even said to my brother-in-law at the time, I said, I think she's gonna win it because she she does an amazing job singing, like she just like gives it her all. The show didn't make her sing, she could do that before. Yeah, how would Kelly, not American Idol, slowly get exposed? Like, I give so much credit to all the artists that go through, you know, just just the the path that leads up to their success. I give them so much credit because it's a hard road. You know, you're listening to their stories, like how many years that they had to pound the pavement, do the back alleys, do the buskers, do the bar for you know 10 people and stuff, and now all of a sudden they're selling out stadiums.

SPEAKER_03 34:20

And I love that they changed the format, you know, and they've included some people's life journey, not just as in the music part, but stories that bring you more connected to these people. So I really like when they changed that format because I think at first with American Idol, it was just it was always just funny to watch the editions because they had as they had as many like not as talented people as they had talented, and you know, because it would just be entertainment, laughter at the same time, but you know, they've evolved to like make it more heartfelt to me.

SPEAKER_00 34:52

So it was it was the oh wow, and then some comedy. And then it was the oh wow, and then some comedy. Yeah, so yeah, and and you've a deep dive into the backstory of someone, which is cool.

SPEAKER_03 35:04

So yeah, and you can imagine how many people that they edited out, you know, that the judges actually have to sit through. Like, I don't know if they do it. No, because like you wonder like, do they do they come in, they're given a number because you see them lined up, then all of a sudden they're they're going in, but you don't know, is there like another step that we don't see? Like, do they have to sing again? Or, you know, because anyone could just walk up and the judges one time and they're just like, we need to get a good singer. Like we've had all these in a row that weren't, so I I don't know if they have a step in there or not, but you can let us know in the comments if you know that or not. But yeah, really, really good feedback on that. Thanks. And our last question for this podcast is Peter, personally, how does your body react to the music either that you like or you don't like? How does it actually feel for you?

Singing Contests And What They Reward

SPEAKER_03 36:01

Because it is, say, even in the definition about how it is relating to harmony and expression of emotion and all that. So how does it react to you, your body, when you like I've seen you rocking out before, and I've seen you like tearing out too, you know? Like that's our bond if we if you didn't hear part one yet. And if you didn't, please go listen to it.

SPEAKER_00 36:26

Yeah.

SPEAKER_03 36:28

Like your physical body, do you feel like you spump some cool or whatever?

SPEAKER_00 36:33

I get the chills, I get the feels, I get the old hair standing up in my on my arms and in my back and my neck, and just if I hear that right song at the right time, it's like it's almost just like reaches in and scratches something that can't be scratched, and it's like, oh, it feels so good. And because it just kind of almost flows like you you actually hit that right harmony that you were looking for right now. And it's just like it's just like, oh wow, that song. And and like again, I like I mentioned in the first thing, it's like some songs the the first note, you already know what the whole song is, and just by that one note, and it's like you know, kudos to the player that came up with that riff, you know, that is is legendary now. But yeah, then just like you get your rocking songs where you know you really you're just into it, and it's just like that has the the exact same feel. We were listening to one uh yesterday uh off the cuff, and it was you know, you get the air guitar out, you get the eardrums out, you just you just you can't just sit and well I can't just sit and listen to it. Many people can, but I have to in my mind if I'm not doing it physically in my mind. I'm playing the air guitar, I'm playing the eardrums, and and all that stuff, just because it's like, wow, you're yeah, I whatever that beat is, that song is, it just hit to that degree to me. And then there's also the ones that come out in the field, you know, release me is a perfect example of one that just I can usually make it fairly far through the song before, you know, it just touches on too much emotion, and and you know, it's just like I'm gonna feel that. There's a lot of other songs that most people listen to that say, oh, what even is that? But if you know, if you hadn't been through my journey in in life or whatever, and experienced the things that I've experienced and had that relation to whether it be music or something in my mind that when I'm listening to that song, it puts me in a in a time and a place where there's high emotions. Right. Or high, you know, either sadness or or or excitement, right? Because, you know, it's it like I say, you you can cry because you're sad and you can cry because you're happy. Exactly. It's not always the sad songs that'll strike those emotions. I'm gonna give you a perfect example. There's a version of Bruce Springsteen's My Hometown, right? That they play live. Right. And that will get me emotional towards the end of it because the song itself is it's it's about, you know, he was a little boy and he started off with his with his parents in the city, and he was like, you know, this is your his parents are saying, you know, welcome, this is your hometown, or whatever, as he's as he's steering the car through town or whatever. And then, you know, that throughout the song as it goes, he's he's growing up, and then he he now is is trying to decide, like, my hometown isn't what it used to be. Right. Right. And I'm not sure if I like it anymore. And then it says, Well, you know, we have a boy of our own now. And I propped him up behind a wheel and said, This is your hometown. Oh, yeah, right? That's cool. Yeah. So it's like he didn't leave and whatever, but as that kind of goes into it, he he carries it through, it just I don't know. It ties into an emotion of happiness. Because it was like, you know what, this was me as a boy whereas I couldn't have been happier. And then I went through a lull of my life where it was like, Dad, did I do I really want to be here? And then it's like, yeah, we're good. Now I'm gonna I'm gonna do that same thing that my dad did to me. Just ties into, and that's like it's my hometown by Bruce Springsteen. Like it's you know, it's it's a slower song, but it's an upbeat song. As I got older, I looked at it differently because I'm in a different place in my life. Yes, right. So it's like, you know, as a parent, you know, I look, you know, at my daughter and I'm going, I I it just things are different. I I am that person doing that to the child now versus you know what the father's on the other side. Yeah. So yeah. So just like the evolution of that song, I've I'd knew I've I've known it my whole life. It's been around forever. All that emotion of going from that to now I'm the parent, it hits on that because then you reflect back.

SPEAKER_03 40:47

Yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_00 40:48

And that's like, you know, one one song has always done that to me.

SPEAKER_03 40:51

So yeah, that's awesome. And if you guys could see like do the emotion and his hands going and his his face, still expressions, it's quite cool. So again, we'll have to do some video stuff around when we're talking about the the music and how passionate we are about it, because there's no for me no one music genre that that I like over the other. There's what things I prefer over the other, but again, it's all about we talked about mood, situation, event, you know, whatever. So this has been a great podcast again. And we wanted to say thank you, Peter, for being part of this. And we look forward to having wherever this evolves to. Yeah.
