1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:06,000
It's the Kaden Gordon Show, today's best country mix.

2
00:00:06,000 --> 00:00:13,000
Tune in for two full hours of the greatest country hits.

3
00:00:13,000 --> 00:00:18,000
Interviews with special guests, latest news and so much more.

4
00:00:18,000 --> 00:00:32,000
It's the Kaden Gordon Show.

5
00:00:32,000 --> 00:00:39,000
Like the smokin' pops of a Harley, and the rumble that they make.

6
00:00:39,000 --> 00:00:46,000
It's the laughter of a child, her first July parade.

7
00:00:46,000 --> 00:00:49,000
You got a baseball diamond on a summer night.

8
00:00:49,000 --> 00:00:52,000
You got a hot dog and an ice cold beer.

9
00:00:52,000 --> 00:00:56,000
And you're singin' the national anthem.

10
00:00:56,000 --> 00:01:01,000
And you're holdin' back a cheer, yeah.

11
00:01:01,000 --> 00:01:08,000
It's what we do, it's who we are, it's where we stand.

12
00:01:08,000 --> 00:01:11,000
American made, yes I am.

13
00:01:11,000 --> 00:01:15,000
It's American made, oh yes we can.

14
00:01:15,000 --> 00:01:21,000
It's what we do, it's who we are, it's where we stand.

15
00:01:21,000 --> 00:01:29,000
As Americans.

16
00:01:29,000 --> 00:01:36,000
The depression didn't break us, our people held on strong.

17
00:01:36,000 --> 00:01:43,000
It taught us what was important, and sometimes we could be wrong.

18
00:01:43,000 --> 00:01:50,000
And the fathers died fought before us, and the sacrifice they made.

19
00:01:50,000 --> 00:01:58,000
There's an 18 year old standing in the sand, and he's doing the very same.

20
00:01:58,000 --> 00:02:05,000
It's what we do, it's who we are, it's where we stand.

21
00:02:05,000 --> 00:02:08,000
American made, yes I am.

22
00:02:08,000 --> 00:02:12,000
American made, oh yes we can.

23
00:02:12,000 --> 00:02:15,000
American made, it's tried and true.

24
00:02:15,000 --> 00:02:19,000
American made, it's me and you.

25
00:02:19,000 --> 00:02:26,000
It's what we do, it's who we are, it's where we stand.

26
00:02:26,000 --> 00:02:40,000
American.

27
00:02:40,000 --> 00:02:47,000
When the towers fell around us, we knew just what we had to do.

28
00:02:47,000 --> 00:02:54,000
One nation under God, one country for me and you.

29
00:02:54,000 --> 00:03:01,000
And we all cried for freedom, for what was right and what was true.

30
00:03:01,000 --> 00:03:09,000
And we all stood together, we were all red, white and blue.

31
00:03:09,000 --> 00:03:16,000
It's what we do, it's who we are, it's where we stand.

32
00:03:16,000 --> 00:03:19,000
American made, yes I am.

33
00:03:19,000 --> 00:03:23,000
American made, oh yes we can.

34
00:03:23,000 --> 00:03:26,000
American made, it's tried and true.

35
00:03:26,000 --> 00:03:30,000
American made, it's me and you.

36
00:03:30,000 --> 00:03:36,000
It's what we do, it's who we are, it's where we stand.

37
00:03:36,000 --> 00:03:43,000
As American, American made.

38
00:03:43,000 --> 00:03:54,000
American made.

39
00:03:54,000 --> 00:04:01,000
Breathe, I know that sometimes you can't see.

40
00:04:01,000 --> 00:04:10,000
But if you just breathe, you'll realize you have all you need.

41
00:04:10,000 --> 00:04:14,000
Don't try to just keep going so nobody has to see.

42
00:04:14,000 --> 00:04:26,000
That you're barely floating and sometimes you can't even breathe.

43
00:04:26,000 --> 00:04:34,000
And you feel like you're surrounded and you're drowning in an ocean.

44
00:04:34,000 --> 00:04:42,000
And you think you see a lifeline, try to reach but you can't hold it.

45
00:04:42,000 --> 00:04:50,000
Don't you dare lose your faith, it'll all be okay.

46
00:04:50,000 --> 00:04:59,000
But in the meantime, close your eyes and just breathe.

47
00:04:59,000 --> 00:05:06,000
Trust, trust that you're strong enough.

48
00:05:06,000 --> 00:05:15,000
You're so loved, don't you give up.

49
00:05:15,000 --> 00:05:20,000
Cause I'll stand beside you, just say when.

50
00:05:20,000 --> 00:05:27,000
Help you open up the window, let the light in and breathe.

51
00:05:27,000 --> 00:05:31,000
Just breathe.

52
00:05:31,000 --> 00:05:39,000
When you feel like you're surrounded and you're drowning in an ocean.

53
00:05:39,000 --> 00:05:47,000
And you think you see a lifeline, try to reach but you can't hold it.

54
00:05:47,000 --> 00:05:55,000
Don't you dare lose your faith, it'll all be okay.

55
00:05:55,000 --> 00:06:03,000
But in the meantime, close your eyes and just breathe.

56
00:06:03,000 --> 00:06:09,000
Just breathe.

57
00:06:09,000 --> 00:06:13,000
Breathe in when you feel like you're spiraling.

58
00:06:13,000 --> 00:06:17,000
Breathe out all the anxiety.

59
00:06:17,000 --> 00:06:20,000
Breathe, tell yourself you are safe.

60
00:06:20,000 --> 00:06:22,000
It'll all be okay.

61
00:06:22,000 --> 00:06:28,000
Let the air fill your lungs and just breathe in wherever you are.

62
00:06:28,000 --> 00:06:34,000
And just breathe out, put your hand on your heart and just breathe.

63
00:06:34,000 --> 00:06:36,000
Tell yourself you are safe.

64
00:06:36,000 --> 00:06:38,000
It'll all be okay.

65
00:06:38,000 --> 00:06:48,000
Let the air fill your lungs and just breathe.

66
00:06:48,000 --> 00:06:56,000
Just breathe.

67
00:06:56,000 --> 00:07:04,000
Don't you dare lose your faith, it'll all be okay.

68
00:07:04,000 --> 00:07:12,000
In the meantime, close your eyes and just breathe.

69
00:07:12,000 --> 00:07:26,000
In the meantime, close your eyes and just...

70
00:07:26,000 --> 00:07:29,000
Baby, I know you ain't coming back here.

71
00:07:29,000 --> 00:07:35,000
The dream in your head put my world in your rear view.

72
00:07:35,000 --> 00:07:39,000
It's all I can think about.

73
00:07:39,000 --> 00:07:44,000
I try to see me with the truck all packed up on the interstate,

74
00:07:44,000 --> 00:07:52,000
not looking back for who I was before you moved out.

75
00:07:52,000 --> 00:07:58,000
Should have stayed here a year ago.

76
00:07:58,000 --> 00:08:04,000
Lock the door and hit the road.

77
00:08:04,000 --> 00:08:10,000
Cause I can be your small town guy in the big town city, fall asleep with you every night.

78
00:08:10,000 --> 00:08:21,000
When the lights go out, if it did, it's this town.

79
00:08:21,000 --> 00:08:30,000
What if I fly out, get my toe in the water, see if Nashville fits me, if I really ought to be.

80
00:08:30,000 --> 00:08:37,000
Chasing you all over the place, I put a sign in the window of my granddaddy's store,

81
00:08:37,000 --> 00:08:41,000
so there ain't nothing holding me here no more.

82
00:08:41,000 --> 00:08:47,000
Would you want me to move down that way?

83
00:08:47,000 --> 00:08:54,000
Should have stayed here a year ago.

84
00:08:54,000 --> 00:09:00,000
Lock the door and hit the road.

85
00:09:00,000 --> 00:09:06,000
Cause I can be your small town guy in the big town city, fall asleep with you every night.

86
00:09:06,000 --> 00:09:17,000
When the lights go out, if it did, it's this town.

87
00:09:17,000 --> 00:09:43,000
Maybe I never knew the only thing here for me was you.

88
00:09:43,000 --> 00:09:50,000
Should have stayed here a year ago.

89
00:09:50,000 --> 00:09:56,000
Lock the door and hit the road.

90
00:09:56,000 --> 00:10:02,000
Cause I can be your small town guy in the big town city, fall asleep with you every night.

91
00:10:02,000 --> 00:10:15,000
When the lights go out, if it did, it's this town.

92
00:10:15,000 --> 00:10:25,000
Yeah, if it did, it's this town.

93
00:10:25,000 --> 00:10:32,000
That was Houston Bernard, Denshia's Town, and earlier you heard Jordana Bryant breathe,

94
00:10:32,000 --> 00:10:37,000
and Tim McGarry, American maid, right here on The Kating Gordon Show today's best country mix.

95
00:10:37,000 --> 00:10:45,000
We got a lot coming for you. We got an interview with Tai Wong, Johnny Ramos, Heidi Hanna-Sif,

96
00:10:45,000 --> 00:10:54,000
Adriana Freeman, Jim Biggerstaff, Sean Sokay, Emily Myers, and Kim Thompson coming your way,

97
00:10:54,000 --> 00:10:59,000
right here on The Kating Gordon Show today's best country mix, and it all starts with my man, Tai.

98
00:10:59,000 --> 00:11:03,000
Hello and welcome to The Kating Gordon Show today's best country mix.

99
00:11:03,000 --> 00:11:07,000
Joining me right here today is Tai Wong. Tai, how are you?

100
00:11:07,000 --> 00:11:12,000
I am doing well. I am humble and blessed to be here.

101
00:11:12,000 --> 00:11:18,000
So why don't we get started by getting to know you a little bit, and how you got started in music?

102
00:11:18,000 --> 00:11:27,000
Absolutely. So, honestly, I think I came out the womb loving music.

103
00:11:27,000 --> 00:11:37,000
I think my parents noticed something early in me, and from first grade on,

104
00:11:37,000 --> 00:11:44,000
I was going to a performing arts school in New Jersey.

105
00:11:44,000 --> 00:11:57,000
And so I got to learn how to be a performer and how to deal with nerves and that type of thing.

106
00:11:57,000 --> 00:12:01,000
So that was really my first experience. I got to be in plays.

107
00:12:01,000 --> 00:12:11,000
I got to actually, by third and fourth grade, I was actually lead in some of the plays that was done.

108
00:12:11,000 --> 00:12:21,000
I got to do musicals. I just was, you know, we expanded a little bit.

109
00:12:21,000 --> 00:12:27,000
So, I mean, it was pretty fun. It was pretty fun.

110
00:12:27,000 --> 00:12:42,000
I didn't really start taking music as far as wanting to be an artist really, really serious until high school.

111
00:12:42,000 --> 00:12:48,000
So when I got in high school, I actually used to write poetry.

112
00:12:48,000 --> 00:12:53,000
And I had friends that used to tell me, you should turn those into songs.

113
00:12:53,000 --> 00:13:01,000
And one day I just turned them into songs and I've been writing songs ever since.

114
00:13:01,000 --> 00:13:15,000
And, you know, got my first deal by the time I was 15 and, you know, just been doing music ever since.

115
00:13:15,000 --> 00:13:20,000
What is it about music that you absolutely love about it?

116
00:13:20,000 --> 00:13:31,000
I mean, it's the feeling that I get whenever I'm creating it, whenever I'm performing it,

117
00:13:31,000 --> 00:13:39,000
the responses I get from people when they listen to my music. That's everything to me.

118
00:13:39,000 --> 00:13:43,000
What advice would you give somebody that might want to start doing music,

119
00:13:43,000 --> 00:13:47,000
whether that be writing, singing, performing, anything like that?

120
00:13:47,000 --> 00:13:57,000
I would tell anyone, especially songwriters as well as artists,

121
00:13:57,000 --> 00:14:03,000
I would tell them to practice on your craft, like continuously get better.

122
00:14:03,000 --> 00:14:08,000
Like you're never too young or too old to continuously get better.

123
00:14:08,000 --> 00:14:17,000
Like, you know, all the years that I've done music, I'm still continually getting better every day.

124
00:14:17,000 --> 00:14:28,000
So I think just keep practicing on your craft. Like, spend the time to do it. Put in the work.

125
00:14:28,000 --> 00:14:34,000
I agree. And it's one of those things that it's an industry that just doesn't come to you naturally.

126
00:14:34,000 --> 00:14:39,000
Like, you know, the money and the fame, that part is not going to come to you right away.

127
00:14:39,000 --> 00:14:48,000
I mean, some people are lucky, like, you know, some people, but most likely you're not going to get that far, that quick.

128
00:14:48,000 --> 00:14:57,000
Absolutely. Absolutely. Yeah, you literally have to. That's where the work comes in.

129
00:14:57,000 --> 00:15:06,000
As we're putting in the work comes in, I mean, sometimes, you know, you come out, you think, oh, I'm going to get, I'm going to be rich, you know, and famous and everything.

130
00:15:06,000 --> 00:15:14,000
And now you have to have sometimes like a A plan, a B plan, C plan, B plan.

131
00:15:14,000 --> 00:15:24,000
But mostly, you know, I tell you, I would tell anybody, like plan a year, like plan out a whole year and build

132
00:15:24,000 --> 00:15:34,000
and realize that everything from that year won't progress you any until the following year.

133
00:15:34,000 --> 00:15:44,000
Just keep putting plans together, setting goals for yourself, and you'll get there.

134
00:15:44,000 --> 00:15:54,000
Absolutely. Definitely agree with that right there. Ty, what do you like doing at SET in music? Do you have any hobbies, interests, anything like that?

135
00:15:54,000 --> 00:15:58,000
Outside of music, I'm like a big movie buff.

136
00:15:58,000 --> 00:16:03,000
Like, I love to watch movies and

137
00:16:03,000 --> 00:16:08,000
I don't want to say sitcoms, but more so like I like TV shows as well.

138
00:16:08,000 --> 00:16:16,000
So I do a lot of watching movies and TV shows. I don't get to watch them when they actually come on.

139
00:16:16,000 --> 00:16:22,000
So I'm like always been watching something.

140
00:16:22,000 --> 00:16:29,000
What is one of your absolute favorite movies?

141
00:16:29,000 --> 00:16:34,000
Man, one of my favorite movies.

142
00:16:34,000 --> 00:16:47,000
You know what? It's funny because it's a newer movie, but the new edition movie that came on BET.

143
00:16:47,000 --> 00:16:56,000
I could keep watching that movie over and over. That one and the Bobby Brown one. I love those two movies.

144
00:16:56,000 --> 00:17:06,000
Definitely some good choices right there. Yeah, I love those movies.

145
00:17:06,000 --> 00:17:17,000
If someone was to write a song about you, what do you think that they would take the time to write about?

146
00:17:17,000 --> 00:17:33,000
Oh man, if they were writing a song about me, it would be about strength and dedication and loyalty.

147
00:17:33,000 --> 00:17:44,000
I think those would be the strongest thing that they would write about.

148
00:17:44,000 --> 00:17:52,000
What can we expect next of you? Do you have any projects, singles or anything else that you want to tell us a little bit about, Ty?

149
00:17:52,000 --> 00:17:57,000
Absolutely. So I have two new songs that are getting ready to come out.

150
00:17:57,000 --> 00:18:10,000
One song is called Better and it is featuring Grammy award winning single songwriter, Juanita Wynn.

151
00:18:10,000 --> 00:18:25,000
I'm really excited about that song. The other single is entitled Sideline. I'm excited about that one as well.

152
00:18:25,000 --> 00:18:38,000
I'm happy about where I am in my career. I'm happy with where everything is moving. I'm in a good space.

153
00:18:38,000 --> 00:18:45,000
Where do you see yourself in the next couple of years or where do you want to be?

154
00:18:45,000 --> 00:19:09,000
I just came into the Southern Soul genre and I expect to see myself at the top in the coming years. I'm dedicated to putting in the work and the time and the effort and I believe I'll be at the top.

155
00:19:09,000 --> 00:19:13,000
If people want to learn more about you, where can they find you?

156
00:19:13,000 --> 00:19:25,000
Absolutely. You can find me on any social media platform under I am Taiwan. Taiwan is spelled T-Y-J-U-A-N.

157
00:19:25,000 --> 00:19:33,000
That's I am Taiwan on any social media platform. It's all the same.

158
00:19:33,000 --> 00:19:46,000
If you had one message to tell anyone, what would you tell them right now, Ty?

159
00:19:46,000 --> 00:20:04,000
I would tell everybody, I would say be honest with yourself. Be honest with yourself always and never waste anybody's time. Time is something more precious than anything that we have on this earth.

160
00:20:04,000 --> 00:20:11,000
That's something we can't get it back. Once you waste it, it's gone.

161
00:20:11,000 --> 00:20:17,000
That's the one thing I would say.

162
00:20:17,000 --> 00:20:26,000
Absolutely. Ty, is there anything that I forgot to mention that you would like to mention today?

163
00:20:26,000 --> 00:20:34,000
No. No. That's it.

164
00:20:34,000 --> 00:20:47,000

Hey, thank you so much for having me. It's been an absolute pleasure.

166
00:21:09,000 --> 00:21:38,000
She knows she fly from head to toe. She in the zone when she hit the floor. No matter the tempo, I like to watch her get it, get it. I get behind her, you feel that bump, girl, you know you did it. I like when you move that thing from side to side. My eyes on you watching you work them thighs.

167
00:21:38,000 --> 00:21:42,000
You go hard on me. No, I'm excited.

I want you right now.

171
00:22:08,000 --> 00:22:23,000
Dancing so close.

172
00:22:23,000 --> 00:22:38,000
We are frozen in time.

173
00:22:38,000 --> 00:22:41,000
You know I'm excited.

174
00:22:41,000 --> 00:22:54,000

175
00:22:54,000 --> 00:23:11,000

176
00:23:11,000 --> 00:23:25,000
I want you right now.

177
00:23:25,000 --> 00:23:42,000
I want you right now.

178
00:23:42,000 --> 00:23:56,000

179
00:23:56,000 --> 00:24:16,000
I want you right now.

180
00:24:16,000 --> 00:24:39,000
That dirty ballroom mirror shows a body I brought back. It's been a long time since enlisting and I come home from my rack. But there's a whole lot more that the mirror doesn't show. Like these questions I've got burning in my soul.

181
00:24:39,000 --> 00:24:51,000
Why am I here? I hear your voice when I'm drinking beer. Back then I could thrive here. It ain't over cause I still fear.

182
00:24:51,000 --> 00:25:03,000
Losing you more than me. But that ship's done sailed the seas. The shots are ringing in my ear. So why am I here?

183
00:25:03,000 --> 00:25:18,000
As I sit here in my old truck. Trying to pass the time. Drink another bottle of whiskey. To forget what's on my mind. I'm still rocking that old playlist.

184
00:25:18,000 --> 00:25:39,000
From mid 2003. It's been 20 years of gunshot memories. Why am I here? I hear your voice while I'm drinking beer. Back then I could thrive here. It ain't over cause I still fear.

185
00:25:39,000 --> 00:25:52,000
Losing you more than me. But that ship's done sailed the seas. The shots are ringing in my ear. So why am I here?

186
00:25:52,000 --> 00:26:15,000
Why did the best get the worst? Was that all it meant for me? But why did you get there first? Why am I here? I hear your voice while I'm drinking beer. Back there I could thrive here. It ain't over cause I still fear.

187
00:26:15,000 --> 00:26:37,000
Losing you more than me. But that ship's done sailed the seas. The shots are ringing in my ear. So why am I here? So why am I here? Why am I here? Why am I here?

188
00:26:45,000 --> 00:27:05,000
I'm more sad a day than sunny. More sinner than a saint. I'd like to think I'm living right. But lord knows that I ain't. I might never make it. Up to them pearly gates.

189
00:27:05,000 --> 00:27:18,000
If I'm lucky enough to see it one day. The only thing I pray is I hope heaven has a bar. To pull these spirits out the jar.

190
00:27:18,000 --> 00:27:38,000
Every night is a Friday night. And every beer is cold as ice. I hope heaven has a band. Where all the oppie legends jam. And neon is alone to steal guitar. Little prayer from a country boy's heart.

191
00:27:38,000 --> 00:27:52,000
I hope heaven has a bar. To always open. And there ain't no closing time. Where all the drinks are on the house. And the water turns to wine.

192
00:27:52,000 --> 00:28:15,000
I hope heaven has a bar. To pull these spirits out the jar. Where every night is a Friday night. And every beer is cold as ice. I hope heaven has a band. Where all the oppie legends jam. And neon is alone to steal guitar.

193
00:28:15,000 --> 00:28:34,000
Little prayer from a country boy's heart. I hope heaven has a bar. I hope heaven has a bar.

194
00:28:34,000 --> 00:28:53,000
I don't need no streets of gold or a mansion in the sky. I just want a Broadway bar. Where you can open neon sign. I hope heaven has a bar. To pull these spirits out the jar.

195
00:28:53,000 --> 00:29:10,000
Every night is a Friday night. And George Jones is singing on the mic. I hope heaven has a band. Where Merlin Johnny likes to jam. And neon is alone to steal guitar.

196
00:29:10,000 --> 00:29:27,000
Little prayer from a country boy's heart. I hope heaven has a bar. I hope heaven has a bar.

197
00:29:27,000 --> 00:29:50,000
I hope heaven has a bar.

198
00:29:50,000 --> 00:30:07,000
As I struggle through the years. And the burdens hit me hard. Seemed I had nothing but tears. Yet you were there all the time.

199
00:30:07,000 --> 00:30:24,000
Stayed on this journey by faith. Knowing things would get better. Only to find out my path had to go down even deeper.

200
00:30:24,000 --> 00:30:45,000
Through every moment I felt fear. For every time it wasn't fair. For every moment I cried a tear. At times nobody would care.

201
00:30:45,000 --> 00:31:11,000
Sometimes I cried. And every moment you could hear. These words of worry and despair. But every moment you were near. And every time you were there.

202
00:31:11,000 --> 00:31:17,000
Sometimes I cried.

203
00:31:17,000 --> 00:31:43,000
As I carried this weight around. Every burden stacked so high. Seemed my faith was gonna drown. Yet you were there all the time. Now I know what I can be. I won't walk this path alone.

204
00:31:43,000 --> 00:31:51,000
Wrap me in your arms of peace. Together through this life we'll go.

205
00:31:51,000 --> 00:32:17,000
Through every moment I felt fear. For every time it wasn't fair. For every moment I cried a tear. At times nobody would care.

206
00:32:17,000 --> 00:32:38,000
And every moment you could hear. These words of worry and despair. But every moment you were near. And every time you were there.

207
00:32:38,000 --> 00:32:48,000
Sometimes I cried.

208
00:33:08,000 --> 00:33:37,000
Music

212
00:34:15,400 --> 00:34:22,400
doing good good to be here thanks kid of course happy to have you here so let's

213
00:34:22,400 --> 00:34:25,780
get started by getting to know you a little bit and how you got started in

214
00:34:25,780 --> 00:34:34,920
music I got started in music when I was about probably 14 years old my father

215
00:34:34,920 --> 00:34:40,080
is a musician his name is kid Ramos and well I grew up as a little kid watching

216
00:34:40,080 --> 00:34:44,640
him on the side of the stage at blues festivals and clubs and all kinds of

217
00:34:44,640 --> 00:34:49,200
things and I grew up around a lot of music just always listening to music and

218
00:34:49,200 --> 00:34:55,440
as a little kid I never really I've never really like understood like you

219
00:34:55,440 --> 00:35:00,320
know like it seemed like a thing beyond me that I would never be able to do I

220
00:35:00,320 --> 00:35:04,900
was just so amazed by my dad and amazed by all of the interesting characters and

221
00:35:04,900 --> 00:35:09,160
musicians that he knew growing up that I thought I would never be a musician so I

222
00:35:09,160 --> 00:35:13,360
didn't start playing music until I was a teenager and he never pushed me into it

223
00:35:13,360 --> 00:35:19,280
which was really cool and I just ended up falling in love with guitar and I got

224
00:35:19,280 --> 00:35:24,080
really into a lot of like punk rock and like grunge stuff and Kurt Cobain Nirvana

225
00:35:24,080 --> 00:35:29,480
things like that a lot of rock and roll stuff from the 90s and then I ended up

226
00:35:29,480 --> 00:35:36,560
getting into blues and soul and R&B and a lot of older music from the 50s and 60s

227
00:35:36,560 --> 00:35:42,080
and got obsessed with the Beatles and I played cello in school for a while and I

228
00:35:42,080 --> 00:35:48,800
liked it but then I started a band and I was singing and I was always hurting and

229
00:35:48,800 --> 00:35:51,640
injuring my throat because I wasn't singing properly so I ended up joining

230
00:35:51,640 --> 00:35:58,040
choir I did choir for all throughout high school four years and then yeah and

231
00:35:58,040 --> 00:36:04,320
then I've been out of high school for like four years now that's a little bit

232
00:36:04,320 --> 00:36:11,040
about how I got into music is there something about music that made you want

233
00:36:11,040 --> 00:36:19,960
to start doing music oh a lot of things that's not that's a tough one I've

234
00:36:19,960 --> 00:36:27,200
always been a very expressive person I've always been like with my friends

235
00:36:27,200 --> 00:36:30,960
especially like my friends will know what I how I feel about something

236
00:36:30,960 --> 00:36:35,720
immediately like if there's something to have a strong opinion about in a

237
00:36:35,720 --> 00:36:39,700
conversation they'll like be able to tell what I what I'm feeling about it

238
00:36:39,700 --> 00:36:44,640
or whatever I'm not good at lying I'm like you know you can see what I'm when

239
00:36:44,640 --> 00:36:49,160
I'm thinking on my face and I'm just an expressive guy I think I always I always

240
00:36:49,160 --> 00:36:54,120
wanted to just express myself and music is such a such an expressive means of

241
00:36:54,120 --> 00:37:00,680
art it's just um it's it's just beautiful and I love I love music it

242
00:37:00,680 --> 00:37:05,360
makes me realize who I am you know when I'm on stage and I'm playing that's

243
00:37:05,360 --> 00:37:11,120
when I feel the safest and I feel the most like myself and I'm playing music

244
00:37:13,960 --> 00:37:18,840

293
00:41:48,400 --> 00:41:52,600
write a song about you what do you think that they would take the time to write

294
00:41:52,600 --> 00:42:01,560
about if they wrote a song about me about you yes wow that's it that's an

295
00:42:01,560 --> 00:42:11,760
interesting question let me think about that hmm I don't know I maybe if they

296
00:42:11,760 --> 00:42:16,600
hung out with me or something spent the day with me they know what to write I

297
00:42:16,600 --> 00:42:22,760
don't know that's a tough one it's pretty pretty hard I don't know is there

298
00:42:22,760 --> 00:42:31,000
like a characteristic that you have or like a good trait um I like to think

299
00:42:31,000 --> 00:42:40,160
that I'm pretty like creative kind of I'm kind of like out there kind of like I

300
00:42:40,160 --> 00:42:46,400
might be like annoying after a while with all of the ideas and random tangents

301
00:42:46,400 --> 00:42:51,520
that I might go off in a conversation with somebody that could be a song for

302
00:42:51,520 --> 00:42:59,360
better or worse well I mean that again that could be a song I mean I believe

303
00:42:59,360 --> 00:43:04,600
anything can turn into a song if it's in the right hands so yeah you're right

304
00:43:04,600 --> 00:43:12,580
yep I agree with you on that totally if you had one message to tell anyone what

305
00:43:12,580 --> 00:43:26,720
would you tell them I would tell them that life is fun life is good if you're

306
00:43:26,720 --> 00:43:32,560
in a bad place if you're having hard times they won't last forever if you

307
00:43:32,560 --> 00:43:37,680
believe that if you truly believe that that they won't last forever and there'll

308
00:43:37,680 --> 00:43:42,840
be good times ahead of you if you look for it you really look for it that's

I want a girl to light my walls

339
00:46:40,480 --> 00:46:44,480
Ooh just to hear her talk

340
00:46:44,480 --> 00:46:48,480
I want to make a girl smile

341

Give it to myself for why

342
00:46:51,480 --> 00:46:53,480
I want a girl

343
00:46:53,480 --> 00:46:55,480

to love me so

354
00:47:48,480 --> 00:47:52,480
It's 9 am and we don't got no score

355
00:47:52,480 --> 00:47:56,480
We're sleeping in and hanging by the pool

356
00:47:56,480 --> 00:47:59,480
Want to look low, he's doing down the block

357
00:47:59,480 --> 00:48:04,480
Cause you know she's trying to make today's tick-tock

358
00:48:04,480 --> 00:48:08,480
And we ain't trying to go the route

359
00:48:08,480 --> 00:48:12,480
We're here to stay, you can't forget the clouds

360
00:48:12,480 --> 00:48:14,480
And you know we don't gotta play by the rules

361
00:48:14,480 --> 00:48:17,480
Cause we're kids, we love to sing and shout

362
00:48:17,480 --> 00:48:25,480
It's summer, summertime in California

363
00:48:25,480 --> 00:48:32,480
The sky is always blue, sunshine in Ornea

364
00:48:32,480 --> 00:48:40,480
It's summer, summertime in California

365
00:48:40,480 --> 00:48:50,480
We're heading to the beach, come on and join us

366
00:48:50,480 --> 00:48:53,480
Every day feels like a week now

367
00:48:53,480 --> 00:48:57,480
Nothing to do but go and just chill out

368
00:48:57,480 --> 00:49:00,480
We got no plans, let's hit up Jeremy

369
00:49:00,480 --> 00:49:05,480
He's got that switch, let's hit the Mario Kart 2 on 3

370
00:49:05,480 --> 00:49:09,480
And we ain't trying to go the route

371
00:49:09,480 --> 00:49:13,480
We're here to stay, you can't forget the clouds

372
00:49:13,480 --> 00:49:16,480
And you know we don't gotta play by the rules

373
00:49:16,480 --> 00:49:19,480
Cause we're kids, we love to sing and shout

374
00:49:19,480 --> 00:49:26,480
It's summer, summertime in California

375
00:49:26,480 --> 00:49:34,480
The sky is always blue, sunshine in Ornea

376
00:49:34,480 --> 00:49:42,480
It's summer, summertime in California

377
00:49:42,480 --> 00:49:50,480
We're heading to the beach, come on and join us

378
00:50:12,480 --> 00:50:27,480
It's summer, summertime in California

379
00:50:27,480 --> 00:50:35,480
The sky is always blue, sunshine in Ornea

380
00:50:35,480 --> 00:50:43,480
It's summer, summertime in California

381
00:50:43,480 --> 00:50:51,480
We're heading to the beach, come on and join us

382
00:50:51,480 --> 00:50:58,480
It's summer, summertime in California

383
00:50:58,480 --> 00:51:06,480
The sky is always blue, sunshine in Ornea

384
00:51:20,480 --> 00:51:26,480
We were just 18 when we first met

385
00:51:26,480 --> 00:51:32,480
We became an item after that

386
00:51:32,480 --> 00:51:39,480
But you were on the rebound, you walked away from me

387
00:51:39,480 --> 00:51:45,480
Some things just aren't supposed to be

388
00:51:45,480 --> 00:51:51,480
Some things just aren't supposed to be

389
00:51:51,480 --> 00:51:58,480
You had another love and I was still free

390
00:51:58,480 --> 00:52:05,480
I always dreamed that someday there'd be a time for you and me

391
00:52:05,480 --> 00:52:21,480
That some things just aren't supposed to be

392
00:52:21,480 --> 00:52:27,480
You lived your life and I lived mine

393
00:52:27,480 --> 00:52:34,480
And the years of time kept going swiftly by

394
00:52:34,480 --> 00:52:40,480
But then there came a time we were all alone again

395
00:52:40,480 --> 00:52:47,480
I thought that we might get a second try

396
00:52:47,480 --> 00:52:53,480
But some things just aren't supposed to be

397
00:52:53,480 --> 00:53:00,480
It wasn't written in the stars for us to see

398
00:53:00,480 --> 00:53:07,480
I always dreamed that someday there'd be a time for you and me

399
00:53:07,480 --> 00:53:36,480
That some things just aren't supposed to be

400
00:53:36,480 --> 00:53:42,480
The years have come and gone since I met you

401
00:53:42,480 --> 00:53:48,480
You have found a new love and I will one day too

402
00:53:48,480 --> 00:53:55,480
We're still on different roads, it's plain for me to see

403
00:53:55,480 --> 00:54:02,480
That some things just aren't supposed to be

404
00:54:02,480 --> 00:54:08,480
Some things just aren't supposed to be

405
00:54:08,480 --> 00:54:14,480
You have another love and I am still free

406
00:54:14,480 --> 00:54:21,480
I always dreamed that someday there'd be a time for you and me

407
00:54:21,480 --> 00:54:34,480
That some things just aren't supposed to be

408
00:54:34,480 --> 00:54:49,480
Some things just aren't supposed to be

409
00:54:49,480 --> 00:54:52,480
We'll be back soon on the Caden Gordon Show.

410
00:54:52,480 --> 00:55:21,480
