Two To Two Step - Commentary

"Two to Two Step," again another hook that Josh Osborn kinda came

To co-write with. We are always trying to avoid a shuffle when

We're writing songs. So I believe that one might have even started

As an up-tempo shuffle and we were like, "Man, we gotta straighten

That thing out." And once we did and kinda fall into a groove, ev-

That one, that song, when you're writing fun songs like that, too

Most of the time they're a lot easier to come by because you're

Not overthinking much. Clearly, I mean "Two to Wango," um, was a

Was a lyric that was a placeholder that never, never left, really

And actually, has become one of my favorite lyrics that we've ever

Written 'cause it doesn't make a whole lotta sense. But that song

Ends up, you know, when you record up-tempo tracks, too, in the

Studio, it has a tendency to bring a lot of life to a session and

We found, I feel like, a few different tones that we hadn't used

Before or recorded before in some synthesizers and stripping out

Piano. Really invented a new sound for ourselves as far as up-tempo

Songs go and it was a- it's a lot of fun to play live, too, so. It's

Not easy to sing, consequently, the high harmony on that one. It's

Really high. It's got a lot of ZZ

Top in it. A lotta high up there, yeah

So much of the music that we write and we perform, for me, is, is

Very nostalgic and it is a way to revive the past and to bring it

Into the future. It's one of my favorite places to be is in a good

Smoky honky tonk. I mean, irreverent and sometimes the most profound

Conversations and some of the most mystical, intelligent people

You'll ever meet will be in these places. Unexpected, but it adds

To, it adds to the mysticism of this place and, um, they need to be

Protected and that music that takes you to that place, uh, I think

Is always gonna be in demand and serving a very important purpose
