“Takes a brave person, a person of character to not buy in, and I'm like a baby deer trying to find its legs. You don't have to buy in. Because I love people and I think I'm kind of an idiot. And so when other people say do this and do that. There is a pressure there. It's actually very difficult to not listen necessarily to the advice of others and yet keep yourself fragile and open to the world Easy to be like, I'm always right. Know just kind of sticking your ground. But if you want to be like vulnerable, if you want to connect with people and just wear your heart on your sleeve, then you're going to listen to them. I mean, that's the double-edged sword of it. But then again, that pain, like if you don't let it destroy, you can grow from that. Has fame affected you at all? Did you unplug from the system at some point”

“So for the longest time it was some kind of suit. And then recently coinciding with going to Texas, I'm such a loner. I'm an introvert. And there's a bit of a hiding from the world when I wear other stuff. I really want did not make fame, recognition. Money, all those things a motivation at all. And the world kind of wants you to make those motivations, not the world, but I would say maybe the Western world, maybe America, maybe a capitalist system does.”

“I mean, more and more, I suppose that's kind of life. It's like society is pushing conformity on you. You know, I thought I had my own flavor of conformity. I thought I'm supposed to be following. And then early on, I would say in the late 20s, you realized, wait a minute, you don't have to do what teachers tell you to do, what parents tell you to do, what society tells you to do, you can like I would never wear a suit if I listen to like my colleagues and community who think a suit is like the symbol of what is it? Symbol of conformity, actually, which is hilarious. Everything else of that nature doing these silly podcasts like.”

“I sometimes wonder I mean, a lot of young people, a lot of people wonder, like, what's the purpose and the specks of my antenna? Put on this earth to do. I can live a thousand lives. There's so many trajectories. And imagine the greatest possible trajectory that reveals the most beautiful thing I can possibly create in this world, live the most beautiful way. What is that I feel like that's a good exercise to think about. Because it's also liberating to think that you can do anything.”

“Yeah, I tend to I tend to see humans as not quite special in that way. Yeah, it's different kinds of antennas walking around, listening to ideas. And ideas are, I like the notion of Mr. Dawkins, of memes. It's kind of the ideas of the organisms and they're just using our brains to multiply, to select, to compete, to evolve. And humans, we really want to hold on to the specialness of our body, of our mind. But it's really the ideas. So Ferrer was born two centuries ago. Wouldn't be a music producer. And if no signals coming in, Or you'd be hearing potentially a different signal.”

“I would make a case so the variety of artists that you worked with and brought the best out of, it does seem like The year out of this world. So do you think you would know? If you're the same kind of species, maybe you're just a meat vehicle and you're channeling ideas from somewhere else.”

“Is it inspiring or is it? Like, because sometimes when you have, and I've gotten a chance. I mean, I love people in general. Every person is fascinating to me. But yeah, when you've been a fan for a long time and you meet a person Sort of, I'll just remove present company. It's like, oh, they're just human. So there's both. It's both inspiring that just a simple human can achieve such beautiful things. But it's also like almost wishing there were gods moving around us. It's somehow peaceful. This is more comforting to know that there's bigger fish. I'm just a small fish and then there's bigger fish and they will take care of the ocean for us.”

“Anything Jewish heresy, and honestly, something, something in the way she moves. What would you classify that? There's like several Beatles songs, categories of Beatles songs. So that's like the melancholy love songs or ballads or something like that. Yesterday, let it be. Do you have favorites? So, from your, like, how have you changed as a man, as a human being, as a musician, a music producer, ever having done that lengthy interaction with McCartney?”

“I would pick the Beatles over Beach Boys. So that's If I became dictator of the world and was talking to the aliens, but I don't know the full historical context to the impact of the music. I don't know if that's something to consider this kind of thought experiment. Imagine what it was like back then. To go into the studio, to do such interesting work in the studio. As opposed to like listening to just this as a pop song, almost from because I've never been able to understand Beach Boys God only knows.”

“And it's also the taker is important. I'm generally optimistic and hopeful, so I always like look for the hope and the, actually the harshest heartbreak songs are always somehow hopeful to me. That's a love song. To me, like a song about losing love. Is a song about the great capacity for love in the human heart. That's what I hear So to me, losing love is exciting. It's like that means you really cared. That means you felt something, you feel something, you can sit in that pain and that pain is a reminder what it means to be human. When you're that, what is it?”

“Don't you think it feels like war if one is personal? What's the difference between War is personal too. It's only leaders think about war in a geopolitical sense. When people that fight wars, You lose your brothers. I mean, death is just right there. Might feel just like that, but yeah, there is a dance between the personal and like talking to the entirety of the society. It's like John Lennon, imagine like Also, a song where is that a hopeful?

“That's interesting. I mean, I have so for people who don't know his own father ended up. Killing Marvin Gay. I mean, that one is really painful. I mean, for a lot of people, your relationship with your father, your mother, I mean, there's different dynamics, but it's almost like part of life is resolving some kind of complex puzzle you have with the people you love, the people close to you, or the people who are not there, all those kinds of things. That's so much pain in that we don't need to escalate Father, Father. I never thought if it's, I always thought it's his father directly.”

“It actually be cool to play what's going on in a second. But when you just listen to his acapella, just listen to his voice, it is really good. It makes me wonder if it's possible to pull off most of his songs with no instruments. Like in many parts, there's so much soul in just mercy, mercy made, what's going on? There's so many songs that you could just be like, I wonder if you could just like Just go raw or maybe in parts, or maybe do what you do with Jay-Z. Just open up with nothing. Anyway, there's something so powerful to a great soulful voice. Do you mind if I play it real quick? This is probably one of my favorite songs. I mean, it's up there. Voice”

“Ask you like a therapy session question. So you mentioned somewhere that one way to kind of think about music to get into music is to look at the top like 100 albums of all time and just go down the list and like just take it all in like one piece of artwork. So I was doing that for a while. It's a cool experiment because unfortunately I have to admit I've gotten lazy and stopped taking in albums. As albums And I looked at one interesting top 100 list, top 500, actually, which is put together by Rolling Stone. And they put the therapy session part. And this has to do with simplicity too. They put Marvin Gaze, what's going on at number one. Spoiler alert. I like to. Maybe get your opinion on that choice. The reason Marvin Gay is really interesting.”

“To sample it. Anything I have this pain I got to talk now. I'll think of something ridiculous that would make you change your mind. You mentioned I saw a video of you with Jay-Z working on 99 problems where you suggested a cappella opening the song with a capella, just no instruments, just voice. To me, I mean, that's one of the characteristics of the things of the will. sort of the tending towards simplicity in some kind of way. So that choice of a cappella is really interesting because I could see a lot of people think that that's a bad idea. But it turned out to be a really powerful idea. Can you maybe talk about the simplicity, how to find simplicity, why you find simplicity is beautiful? It does appear to be beautiful. What is that?”

“You say a thing, and now there's two humans that play that thing in their mind differently, in their imagination. And then there's a cool creative step in when you actually do it to see how it differs in the imagination. And then the difference or the commonality will be like an exciting little discovery together.”

“I mean, obviously everyone knows that you've produced some of the greatest records ever, but The way I see that is you just brought out the best in a lot of interesting artists So, in order to bring out the best in them, you have to understand them. You have to hear the music of their soul not being too romantic here, but just like. Is there something you can say? How difficult that is if there's a process, if there's tricks. Luck.”

“Terms of lineage, the ones that seek destruction and the ones that seek happiness all come from the same lineage. We all came from fish. So somewhere in you, deep down, there's the other stuff too. It's just that you haven't been yet, by the way, because you said every new project, including maybe starting today. An opportunity to channel, to plug into something that was always there and you haven't gotten a chance to plug into. You mentioned listening. How do you listen to a person? How do you hear a person when you first come in, like we just met? What's the analysis happening? But, I mean, with me is one thing. I'm an artist of sorts. I program and I... Just, I'm human, I guess. I guess we're all creating art. How do you see, how do I bring out? So for people who don't know,”

“There's a coach type of figure. Who was pushing a drummer to create, to grow as a musician, but also to create something special? I don't know if it's even special music skill wise. It's a special moment. I don't know what he's trying to create. Now, from one perspective, it's just an abusive, a person who selfishly gets off on being abusive to those he's with. But from another perspective, the way I saw that movie is it's just the two right humans finding each other at the right moment in life and risking destroying each other in the process, but maybe something beautiful will come of it. Do you think that's a toxic relationship? Or is there some of that movie resonate with you as that sometimes is required to create art? That kind of stuff.”

“And it's so cool because the thing can hold thousands of times its weight. And then you get to watch it explode at a certain point from the pressure. And when you do a really good job, it doesn't explode in a kind of some weak point that you didn't anticipate just kind of starts cracking. Everything cracks. Everything explodes. It's just pieces fly everywhere. And it's literally hundreds of hours of work just explode in front of you. And that's a metaphor for life maybe. And it's all for nothing. Except for the journey that you took to get there. And no one understands. Speaking of which, back to Nietzsche, these questions are ridiculous.

It's an engineering, I guess some people like glue together airplanes and stuff like that, but the bridges are such deeply honest work because at the end of it, you're going to have to test that bridge.

“Running is one of them There's a process. So most freeing of the mind for me has to go through a process of a bit of pain for a bit. So doing something difficult. It's just like an airplane taking off or something. So I have to, like, for example, running, the first few miles would just be just, first of all, the physical aspect, which is like, you're so fat, you're out of shape. This is getting old, this, that. Okay, that slowly dissipates. And then the demons come in who are like, you should be getting this and that and this done. You haven't gotten it done.

And you start to think, well, what are the things you lose when the car stops being the central part of American life The car ownership.
