Lyrics
"Take You On A Cruise" mean, it's It's like people ask you, like so often, like, what are your favorite songs? And it's really an honest answer, like I really don't personally have them And that's the reason why we are, I look at our You know, our band is like an album's band Because it's really, each song really has its purpose Under the umbrella of ten or 11 songs They really, you know, each one has its place Whether it's track two, three or four, five, six, seven They have, you know, they have its purpose But Take You On A Cruise, I do have a bit of a special fondness and A part of the actual composition, but then there's also that like You know, there's a memory I have Of actually listening to this song while we're recording it And ahem, essentially we, everything was tracked All the music was already like recorded And then we're kind of at the 11th hour as far as mixing it And Paul is still kind of like working on vocal ideas 'til the very, very end And I remember we were actually at the studio called Tarkin Studios Where we recorded and mix the first two records up in Connecticut And I remember Peter, who was, you know The engineer and the owner of the studio We went up one morning to like kind of start mixing "Take You On A Cruise" We still hadn't heard the vocals yet And we're kind of like, you know, what's it going to be like? And those moments are like, you know, it's kind of a crazy moment To go to start mixing the song and not know what the What the vocal is going to be like And we're really at a time, you know The deadline of when we had to kind of finish the album But then we heard what Paul had recorded the night before And it was like such a pleasing euphoric moment where it was like so incredible And to this day, like, it's like, it goes from being like, I want it to be like To all of a sudden just being, relief again, would not be the right word It'd be more of like, just like, I was elated, you know, it was like so excited And it was just like, it was like, I just kind of want to, you know Want to keep, kept on hearing it over and over again I just wanted to press play and it was incredible So then to all of a sudden, then I think we probably mix it all in that one day So you go from experience of not knowing the vocals Which is the most recognizable element on a song right By the end of it, like having a finished song By the end of the day having a finished song, you know mix was It was something that I still remember I still remember it being like sunny outside 'Cause it was like a skylight in the studio and And I had a very similar experience for a song that we didn't record today But on the new record "Same Town, New Story" where Came in one day and Paul just did like Incredible work bass-wise and vocal-wise And just came out of left field as far as Where I had heard the song previously And it just was I was like again like he laid it So, those kinds of moments where you have like a surprise And it's like really like oh man, this is just I didn't see it's coming, but I'm just you know super excited by where Where where we, where we've taken it So "Take You On A Cruise" really has that moment for me
