quarter machine 6 00:00:34,000 --> 00:00:40,000 And she thought it was the sweetest thing 7 00:00:40,000 --> 00:00:45,000 No, I couldn't buy her diamonds and I couldn't buy her gold 8 00:00:45,000 --> 00:00:49,000 But my love for her I wanted her to know 9 00:00:49,000 --> 00:00:57,000 So I bought her a ring from a quarter machine 10 00:00:57,000 --> 00:01:03,000 Well, I felt kind of funny when I brought it home 11 00:01:03,000 --> 00:01:09,000 I couldn't even buy ribbons and bows 12 00:01:09,000 --> 00:01:13,000 But I gave it to her from deep inside of me 13 00:01:13,000 --> 00:01:17,000 And the love in her eyes it was easy to see 14 00:01:17,000 --> 00:01:24,000 When I gave her the ring from a quarter machine 15 00:01:24,000 --> 00:01:32,000 Yeah, I bought her a ring from a quarter machine 16 00:01:32,000 --> 00:01:38,000 And she thought it was the sweetest thing 17 00:01:38,000 --> 00:01:42,000 No, I couldn't buy her diamonds and I couldn't buy her gold 18 00:01:42,000 --> 00:01:46,000 But my love for her I wanted her to know 19 00:01:46,000 --> 00:01:54,000 So I bought her a ring from a quarter machine 20 00:01:54,000 --> 00:02:00,000 Well, I saved for a year and I got the real thing 21 00:02:00,000 --> 00:02:06,000 Yeah, I finally got her that diamond ring 22 00:02:06,000 --> 00:02:10,000 But when I got home she really got me 23 00:02:10,000 --> 00:02:14,000 When she said, baby, you should know 24 00:02:14,000 --> 00:02:21,000 You can't beat my ring from a quarter machine 25 00:02:21,000 --> 00:02:29,000 Yeah, I bought her a ring from a quarter machine 26 00:02:29,000 --> 00:02:35,000 And she thought it was the sweetest thing 27 00:02:35,000 --> 00:02:39,000 No, I couldn't buy her diamonds and I couldn't buy her gold 28 00:02:39,000 --> 00:02:43,000 But my love for her I wanted her to know 29 00:02:43,000 --> 00:02:50,000 So I bought her a ring from a quarter machine 30 00:03:04,000 --> 00:03:08,000 She said it ain't the money, it ain't the cost 31 00:03:08,000 --> 00:03:12,000 Cause if it's true love all that matters is the paw 32 00:03:12,000 --> 00:03:19,000 She loves her ring from a quarter machine 33 00:03:19,000 --> 00:03:27,000 Yeah, I bought her a ring from a quarter machine 34 00:03:27,000 --> 00:03:33,000 And she thought it was the sweetest thing 35 00:03:33,000 --> 00:03:37,000 No, I couldn't buy her diamonds and I couldn't buy her gold 36 00:03:37,000 --> 00:03:41,000 But my love for her I wanted her to know 37 00:03:41,000 --> 00:03:48,000 So I bought her a ring from a quarter machine 38 00:03:48,000 --> 00:04:14,000 She loves her ring from a quarter machine 39 00:04:14,000 --> 00:04:18,000 She tough drinks down, walks a lot from all around 40 00:04:18,000 --> 00:04:21,000 And we haven't even left the dock 41 00:04:21,000 --> 00:04:25,000 The sun sets, moon shines, jumping in day or night 42 00:04:25,000 --> 00:04:28,000 We won't ever even need a clock 43 00:04:28,000 --> 00:04:32,000 Living up in Lake Day 44 00:04:32,000 --> 00:04:37,000 I got a little swear going on could be the drinks in my hand 45 00:04:37,000 --> 00:04:41,000 Or the boat wings, yeah, yeah 46 00:04:41,000 --> 00:04:45,000 Not a care in the world once the motor hits the water 47 00:04:45,000 --> 00:04:49,000 Get a little loose with the water, be my muse, float around 48 00:04:49,000 --> 00:04:55,000 Get kissed by the sun till the end of the Lake Day 49 00:04:55,000 --> 00:05:04,000 I'm soaking in a Lake Day, uh-huh 50 00:05:04,000 --> 00:05:08,000 Glassy top, fog lifts, gears first to take a dip 51 00:05:08,000 --> 00:05:12,000 And then tonight I'll sleep in anyway past 10 52 00:05:12,000 --> 00:05:16,000 Stay cool, hold tight if the barber takes a dive 53 00:05:16,000 --> 00:05:19,000 Doesn't matter if you boat or swim 54 00:05:19,000 --> 00:05:23,000 Living up in Lake Day 55 00:05:23,000 --> 00:05:28,000 I got a little swear going on could be the drinks in my hand 56 00:05:28,000 --> 00:05:31,000 Or the boat wings, yeah, yeah 57 00:05:31,000 --> 00:05:36,000 Not a care in the world once the motor hits the water 58 00:05:36,000 --> 00:05:40,000 Get a little loose with the water, be my muse, float around 59 00:05:40,000 --> 00:05:46,000 Get kissed by the sun till the end of the Lake Day 60 00:05:46,000 --> 00:05:59,000 I'm soaking in a Lake Day, uh-huh 61 00:05:59,000 --> 00:06:04,000 I'm already thinking about the next weekend down 62 00:06:04,000 --> 00:06:07,000 Living up in Lake Day 63 00:06:07,000 --> 00:06:12,000 I got a little swear going on could be the drinks in my hand 64 00:06:12,000 --> 00:06:16,000 Or the boat wings, yeah, yeah 65 00:06:16,000 --> 00:06:20,000 Not a care in the world once the motor hits the water 66 00:06:20,000 --> 00:06:24,000 Get a little loose with the water, be my muse, float around 67 00:06:24,000 --> 00:06:31,000 Get kissed by the sun till the end of the Lake Day 68 00:06:31,000 --> 00:06:35,000 I'm already thinking about the next weekend down 69 00:06:35,000 --> 00:06:38,000 Living up in Lake Day 70 00:06:38,000 --> 00:06:42,000 I'm already thinking about the next weekend down 71 00:06:42,000 --> 00:06:45,000 Living up in Lake Day 72 00:06:45,000 --> 00:06:50,000 I got a little swear going on could be the drinks in my hand 73 00:06:50,000 --> 00:06:53,000 Or the boat wings, yeah, yeah 74 00:06:53,000 --> 00:06:58,000 Not a care in the world once the motor hits the water 75 00:06:58,000 --> 00:07:27,000 I was leather, you were lace 76 00:07:27,000 --> 00:07:31,000 Both of us blinded by a field of grace 77 00:07:31,000 --> 00:07:36,000 Lying beneath a blanket of passion 78 00:07:36,000 --> 00:07:42,000 Were you an angel or just my heart's assassin 79 00:07:42,000 --> 00:07:47,000 I feel the vultures circling above 80 00:07:47,000 --> 00:07:52,000 What used to be undying love 81 00:07:52,000 --> 00:07:57,000 Now it's time to give up, cause I love you too much 82 00:07:57,000 --> 00:08:10,000 Not to love you enough 83 00:08:10,000 --> 00:08:15,000 Now it's different, that look on your face 84 00:08:15,000 --> 00:08:19,000 Whatever happened to our field of grace 85 00:08:19,000 --> 00:08:24,000 We need space, perhaps medication 86 00:08:24,000 --> 00:08:30,000 Reality's better in my imagination 87 00:08:30,000 --> 00:08:35,000 I feel the vultures circling above 88 00:08:35,000 --> 00:08:40,000 What used to be undying love 89 00:08:40,000 --> 00:08:45,000 Now it's time to give up, cause I love you too much 90 00:08:45,000 --> 00:08:51,000 Not to love you enough 91 00:08:51,000 --> 00:08:59,000 Hey, yeah 92 00:08:59,000 --> 00:09:25,000 Yeah 93 00:09:25,000 --> 00:09:29,000 I feel the vultures circling above 94 00:09:29,000 --> 00:09:34,000 What used to be undying love 95 00:09:34,000 --> 00:09:39,000 Now it's time to give up, cause I love you too much 96 00:09:39,000 --> 00:09:49,000 Not to love you enough 97 00:09:49,000 --> 00:10:02,000 Field of grace 98 00:10:02,000 --> 00:10:06,000 I was leather, you were lace 99 00:10:06,000 --> 00:10:18,000 Both of us blinded by a field of grace 100 00:10:18,000 --> 00:10:20,000 Field of grace 101 00:10:20,000 --> 00:10:25,000 Now it's different, that look on your face 102 00:10:25,000 --> 00:10:28,000 Whatever happened to our field of grace 103 00:10:28,000 --> 00:10:47,000 Field of grace 104 00:10:47,000 --> 00:10:57,000 Field of grace 105 00:11:17,000 --> 00:11:27,000 Field of grace 106 00:11:47,000 --> 00:11:49,000 Field of grace 107 00:12:17,000 --> 00:12:19,000 Field of grace 108 00:12:47,000 --> 00:12:50,000 I thought it was nice 109 00:12:50,000 --> 00:12:57,000 The renter had a private pool as you mentioned 110 00:12:57,000 --> 00:13:01,000 And he also had a slide 111 00:13:01,000 --> 00:13:05,000 I was more of a fan of a slide than anything 112 00:13:05,000 --> 00:13:09,000 It was a blast, Kayden 113 00:13:09,000 --> 00:13:13,000 It sure was, and let's kind of move on here to Tuesday 114 00:13:13,000 --> 00:13:17,000 Tuesday we went to go see Spider-Man and to the Spider-Verse 115 00:13:17,000 --> 00:13:20,000 So John, I know you're a big movie fan and we had to go see this 116 00:13:20,000 --> 00:13:23,000 What was your review on the new Spider-Man? 117 00:13:23,000 --> 00:13:29,000 Oh, an A++, I am looking forward definitely to seeing the sequel 118 00:13:29,000 --> 00:13:35,000 Sometime in I think 2024 or early 2025, I don't know when it comes out 119 00:13:35,000 --> 00:13:39,000 But if you haven't seen Spider-Man, definitely go see it 120 00:13:39,000 --> 00:13:45,000 Even if you're not a fan of Spider-Man, everyone needs to go see it 121 00:13:45,000 --> 00:13:48,000 Definitely something to check out 122 00:13:48,000 --> 00:13:51,000 Kayden, what were your thoughts? 123 00:13:51,000 --> 00:13:53,000 I thought it was a pretty good movie 124 00:13:53,000 --> 00:13:57,000 I would have to say 10 out of 10, it was pretty funny 125 00:13:57,000 --> 00:14:00,000 And not a big... 126 00:14:00,000 --> 00:14:05,000 Okay, I am a movie person but not as big as John here 127 00:14:05,000 --> 00:14:07,000 He's more into it than I am 128 00:14:07,000 --> 00:14:09,000 It was good 129 00:14:09,000 --> 00:14:11,000 That's good, that's good, yeah 130 00:14:11,000 --> 00:14:15,000 I know Kayden not being really a movie buff 131 00:14:15,000 --> 00:14:22,000 He doesn't really partake in the AMC A-list membership that I do 132 00:14:22,000 --> 00:14:24,000 But I also do support local 133 00:14:24,000 --> 00:14:30,000 So whenever I have a chance to support local theaters or businesses 134 00:14:30,000 --> 00:14:33,000 You definitely gotta do it, you definitely gotta do it 135 00:14:33,000 --> 00:14:36,000 So yeah, shout out to Gardner Cinemas 136 00:14:36,000 --> 00:14:44,000 Okay, and Wednesday we had an opportunity to tour the NBC Boston Studios 137 00:14:44,000 --> 00:14:46,000 That was pretty neat 138 00:14:46,000 --> 00:14:52,000 John, if there was one thing that you liked most about the tour, what would it be? 139 00:14:52,000 --> 00:14:56,000 I would definitely say seeing all the studios 140 00:14:56,000 --> 00:14:59,000 So NBC Boston has six different studios 141 00:14:59,000 --> 00:15:03,000 Because they own four different networks 142 00:15:03,000 --> 00:15:08,000 And they all run out of the same building 143 00:15:08,000 --> 00:15:20,000 You know, your sales consultant that you advertise with 144 00:15:20,000 --> 00:15:26,000 She mentioned that NBC has been trying to... 145 00:15:26,000 --> 00:15:37,000 NBC used Boston as a target market to do this building 146 00:15:37,000 --> 00:15:40,000 So I thought that was pretty neat 147 00:15:40,000 --> 00:15:42,000 Kayden, what was your favorite? 148 00:15:42,000 --> 00:15:48,000 I would have to say I was mightily impressed even though I'm not a big person that goes to the gym 149 00:15:48,000 --> 00:15:53,000 But I was pleasantly surprised to see that there was a gym inside the TV studio building 150 00:15:53,000 --> 00:16:02,000 Oh yes, yeah, I definitely give them super credit for that too 151 00:16:02,000 --> 00:16:05,000 That was kind of nice to see 152 00:16:05,000 --> 00:16:10,000 And they offered us a position 153 00:16:10,000 --> 00:16:16,000 If we're ever in the market for a new job or whatever 154 00:16:16,000 --> 00:16:21,000 That they're hiring, they're always hiring 155 00:16:21,000 --> 00:16:27,000 So we'll keep that a secret on how to apply 156 00:16:27,000 --> 00:16:29,000 And now on to Thursday 157 00:16:29,000 --> 00:16:32,000 So that's the other thing I want to mention too 158 00:16:32,000 --> 00:16:36,000 When John actually got his rental, he got an electric vehicle 159 00:16:36,000 --> 00:16:38,000 Tell us a little bit about that and your experience 160 00:16:38,000 --> 00:16:43,000 Yeah, so I rented an electric car through Avis 161 00:16:43,000 --> 00:16:46,000 It's my first electric car that I've ever driven 162 00:16:46,000 --> 00:16:50,000 So that was a bit of a learning curve, I gotta admit 163 00:16:50,000 --> 00:16:52,000 I had to download a bunch of new apps 164 00:16:52,000 --> 00:17:00,000 Well, not a bunch, but at least two new apps to kind of find charging stations that we could charge at 165 00:17:00,000 --> 00:17:05,000 Because this home is not built to charge from 166 00:17:05,000 --> 00:17:07,000 Let's be honest 167 00:17:07,000 --> 00:17:13,000 The home that I am staying in with Kayden is not built for a charge 168 00:17:13,000 --> 00:17:18,000 We would have to call out and install people 169 00:17:18,000 --> 00:17:20,000 Someone to install that electric 170 00:17:20,000 --> 00:17:24,000 And honestly with me just being here for a week, it wasn't really worth it 171 00:17:24,000 --> 00:17:29,000 So yeah, it just was a learning curve really 172 00:17:29,000 --> 00:17:34,000 And what Kayden is kind of I guess foreshadowing is that Thursday 173 00:17:34,000 --> 00:17:42,000 The station that we went to, which is very, very close to where we were going to go bowling 174 00:17:42,000 --> 00:17:44,000 It broke down 175 00:17:44,000 --> 00:17:50,000 Thankfully it wouldn't let me charge at all 176 00:17:50,000 --> 00:17:57,000 But yeah, it was definitely a learning curve for sure 177 00:17:57,000 --> 00:18:02,000 And I want to clarify, the car did not break down, the charger broke down 178 00:18:02,000 --> 00:18:04,000 The charge station that we went to 179 00:18:04,000 --> 00:18:06,000 Yes, yes 180 00:18:06,000 --> 00:18:17,000 But I got to give super credit as well to Rob, he's the owner of the bike shop that hosts the charge station 181 00:18:17,000 --> 00:18:23,000 He was very, very nice the entire week that we charged 182 00:18:23,000 --> 00:18:28,000 I think we charged at his station maybe a total of three times 183 00:18:28,000 --> 00:18:31,000 So yeah 184 00:18:31,000 --> 00:18:34,000 So Rob, you're a great guy 185 00:18:34,000 --> 00:18:38,000 I don't know the chances of him tuning in or but you know 186 00:18:38,000 --> 00:18:41,000 But hey, you know 187 00:18:41,000 --> 00:18:51,000 But yeah, I definitely hope that he is able to get his station fixed next time I rent a electric vehicle 188 00:18:51,000 --> 00:18:53,000 Absolutely 189 00:18:53,000 --> 00:18:59,000 And Friday, this is the most exciting one that we're excited to talk about 190 00:18:59,000 --> 00:19:00,000 Friday 191 00:19:00,000 --> 00:19:06,000 We had an opportunity to go see Thomas Ratt, Nate Smith and Cole Swindell 192 00:19:06,000 --> 00:19:11,000 Actually, the order was Nate Smith, Cole Swindell and Thomas Ratt 193 00:19:11,000 --> 00:19:16,000 I want to give a huge big thank you to Don Gostelin over at Big

520 00:39:09,000 --> 00:39:17,000 I think especially in today's day and age where people tend to be a little less sympathetic 521 00:39:17,000 --> 00:39:19,000 The arts in general, Kaden 522 00:39:19,000 --> 00:39:21,000 I mean, get involved in the arts 523 00:39:21,000 --> 00:39:24,000 You know, whether it's music in the schools or, you know 524 00:39:24,000 --> 00:39:31,000 I think being an artist gives you a compassion for people and for life 525 00:39:31,000 --> 00:39:37,000 And I think that that message, if we could all be a little bit more compassionate 526 00:39:37,000 --> 00:39:39,000 Would make the world a much better place 527 00:39:42,000 --> 00:39:43,000 I agree 528 00:39:43,000 --> 00:39:48,000 And Steve, is there anything that I forgot to mention that you would like to mention today on the show? 529 00:39:49,000 --> 00:39:52,000 No, Kaden, you know what? You've really got it covered 530 00:39:52,000 --> 00:39:56,000 I mean, for anyone that's listening, again, it's thehollywoodallstars.net 531 00:39:56,000 --> 00:39:59,000 The record is called Field of Grace on Deco Entertainment 532 00:39:59,000 --> 00:40:01,000 And I would love for people to check it out 533 00:40:01,000 --> 00:40:05,000 You know, the nice thing about the record, it's, you know, what is it? 534 00:40:05,000 --> 00:40:08,000 It's a big rocking horn band 535 00:40:08,000 --> 00:40:11,000 But there's a particular song on there called The River 536 00:40:11,000 --> 00:40:15,000 Which, as the writer, is probably my favorite song on the record 537 00:40:15,000 --> 00:40:17,000 It's a nice variety of music 538 00:40:17,000 --> 00:40:19,000 I mean, there's some great dance stuff 539 00:40:19,000 --> 00:40:22,000 There's some bombastic, funky rockin' stuff 540 00:40:22,000 --> 00:40:24,000 As well as, you know, beautiful ballads 541 00:40:24,000 --> 00:40:27,000 We also did a remake of the James Brown hit 542 00:40:27,000 --> 00:40:31,000 It's the only cover on the record called Living in America 543 00:40:31,000 --> 00:40:33,000 And that was an interesting story 544 00:40:33,000 --> 00:40:37,000 The way that came about, the fella that wrote that song, Charlie Midnight 545 00:40:37,000 --> 00:40:40,000 Became a big fan of the band through social media 546 00:40:40,000 --> 00:40:45,000 And, you know, he and I were speaking about us going in to record this record 547 00:40:45,000 --> 00:40:48,000 And he suggested it, and I think it came out great 548 00:40:48,000 --> 00:40:51,000 Like I said, it's the only cover on the record 549 00:40:51,000 --> 00:40:56,000 But interestingly enough, our horn section played on James Brown's original version of the song 550 00:40:56,000 --> 00:41:00,000 So between that and the songwriter being a fan of the band 551 00:41:00,000 --> 00:41:02,000 It was sort of a no-brainer to do that one cover 552 00:41:02,000 --> 00:41:05,000 But the other songs are all originals 553 00:41:05,000 --> 00:41:07,000 And I'm anxious for people to check them out 554 00:41:07,000 --> 00:41:12,000 Steve Gaspar from the Hollywood All-Stars 555 00:41:12,000 --> 00:41:16,000 Thank you so much for taking the time to come on the Kayden Gordon Show today 556 00:41:16,000 --> 00:41:17,000 It's Best Country Mix 557

temporary 673 00:48:26,000 --> 00:48:29,000 I keep trying but I can't quit you 674 00:48:29,000 --> 00:48:31,000 Cause every time I feel diminished 675 00:48:31,000 --> 00:48:33,000 And every time I feel diminished 676 00:48:33,000 --> 00:48:36,000 I sit and listen to the melody that's all around me 677 00:48:36,000 --> 00:48:38,000 And every word just keeps on spilling out 678 00:48:38,000 --> 00:48:40,000 Like when I'm down and out, it's on the inside of me 679 00:48:40,000 --> 00:48:42,000 Keeps on telling me to never doubt myself again 680 00:48:42,000 --> 00:48:44,000 And right when I feel like there's nothing left to give 681 00:48:44,000 --> 00:48:47,000 I hear it speaking to me, always telling me to believe 682 00:48:47,000 --> 00:48:49,000 I might have been lost to depression 683 00:48:49,000 --> 00:48:51,000 And start to question my own existence 684 00:48:51,000 --> 00:48:53,000 Until I shut up to finally listen 685 00:48:53,000 --> 00:48:56,000 I wish I didn't feel the need to always be accepted 686 00:48:56,000 --> 00:48:58,000 By the ones who never gave a f*** about me 687 00:48:58,000 --> 00:49:00,000 So what if I'm just daydreaming 688 00:49:00,000 --> 00:49:02,000 Cause maybe I could be the one to leave reality 689 00:49:02,000 --> 00:49:04,000 Without the need to beg and plead for better life 690 00:49:04,000 --> 00:49:06,000 But I don't understand why I never seem to get it 691 00:49:06,000 --> 00:49:09,000 All this open road, no idea where I'm headed 692 00:49:09,000 --> 00:49:11,000 You always seem so out of reach 693 00:49:11,000 --> 00:49:14,000 Maybe this time you'll finally see why I kept going 694 00:49:14,000 --> 00:49:16,000 Fill that glass till I'm messy 695 00:49:16,000 --> 00:49:18,000 Cause it's like you see right through me 696 00:49:18,000 --> 00:49:22,000 I keep trying but I can't quit you 697 00:49:23,000 --> 00:49:26,000 When I crash and I'm empty 698 00:49:26,000 --> 00:49:28,000 No, the highs just temporary 699 00:49:28,000 --> 00:49:32,000 I keep trying but I can't quit you 700 00:49:34,000 --> 00:49:36,000 One day I look back at the past 701 00:49:36,000 --> 00:49:38,000 And realize all that's left are the memories 702 00:49:38,000 --> 00:49:40,000 Of pain I buried inside 703 00:49:40,000 --> 00:49:42,000 Visions of a time when I was on a mission 704 00:49:42,000 --> 00:49:44,000 Locked in prison, in addiction, in one but one I lost 705 00:49:44,000 --> 00:49:46,000 Almost everyone I ever loved 706 00:49:46,000 --> 00:49:48,000 And if anybody's really above 707 00:49:48,000 --> 00:49:50,000 Then why the f*** is this a world you have us living 708 00:49:50,000 --> 00:49:52,000 My scars aren't any different than yours 709 00:49:52,000 --> 00:49:54,000 But something's gotta give soon 710 00:49:54,000 --> 00:49:57,000 Of course, only all we needed was each other 711 00:49:57,000 --> 00:50:00,000 I'd give it all back, never wishing I had anything other 712 00:50:00,000 --> 00:50:03,000 But right now, I'm waiting on the waves to die down 713 00:50:03,000 --> 00:50:05,000 And if I can't figure it out, I might drown 714 00:50:05,000 --> 00:50:08,000 We're only ever given so much to work around 715 00:50:08,000 --> 00:50:10,000 Something that should have been simple in the first place 716 00:50:10,000 --> 00:50:14,000 Just puts you in a tailspin as you feel the breeze fly by 717 00:50:14,000 --> 00:50:17,000 But I hope you know I'll always lift you up when I'm around 718 00:50:17,000 --> 00:50:18,000 Feel like last till I'm missing 719 00:50:18,000 --> 00:50:21,000
