Not quite Stevie Nicks, but I'm feeling pretty good about it right now. See, this is why I like you so much. You understand me. I hope I never lose those shocked expressions, getting excited music is always such a thrill. You worded it in a perfect way, I don't think I could even add onto it without ruining what you've already said. It is a different homecoming. Travelling can be rough, but such a special thing. Not everyone gets to do it and we're so lucky we get the opportunity to dive into that kind of stuff in our line of work. After doing it for so long, it becomes part of us and when we go too long without it, we start to miss it. They say home is wherever your heart is and I guess with musicians, part of it is always on the road. We're aiming for the end of the year. We still sometimes hangout, but it's more one on one than a group dynamic. We all support each other, so it's always nice knowing no matter what happens we have each others back. I'm sure it must be the same with you and the boys. You have your own thing going on when you're not actively working, but you'd drop everything for each other if they really needed you. Peanut Butter and Chilly already have my heart. I'll be giving them all the love whenever I get to meet them, they don't even have to ask. I love animals too much to resist. Who came up with the names? I'm going to cry over how cute they are. Was the fighting really that bad? I think going away and coming back with ideas is genius for a group dynamic. It saves any unnecessary stress. Do you have a voting system in place if people don't like certain parts? Majority votes and all that jazz. Can't wait to hear what you put together. Where are you? I can definitely move some stuff around to come to one of the festivals, see where your drawing all that inspiration from. Maybe I can find some of my own and watch you in the process. I think that's totally normal with long lasting friendships. At least you know you can deal with each other at your worst, right? Thank you. I just want this album to feel right. Even if it isn't well received upon release, I want to be happy with it, you know? Okay, you've convinced me. I'll go and make the suggestion, but if I get banned, I might cry. I've never been banned from anywhere in my life.
whether you've got stevie nicks vibes or not, you're killing it, babe. i totally get your obsession with the thrill of discovering new music. each fresh tune is like a rebellion against the boring old routine, pure magic in its simplest form. yeah, travel gets under your skin like nothing else. one moment, you're rocking out in your room, and the next, you're homesick for places you've only glimpsed in passing. it's a crazy, beautiful life we musicians lead. now, i'm not entirely sold on that idea of home being where your heart is because, truth be told, i feel most at home in rome, where i grew up. i don't think that's ever gonna change. if dove was stateside, that's where my heart would be, but i'd still feel the most at home in rome. that's why i dragged her butt over here, even though it would've been easier for us to settle in NYC. of fucking course, we're an iconic brotherhood, no doubt about it. we might not always be in the same place, but there's this invisible bond that keeps us connected. we'd drop everything in a heartbeat if one of us hit a rough patch. that kind of trust is rare and damn priceless. however, i'm never gonna let damiano off the hook for ghosting all my dj gigs. he's gonna hear about it forever. when it comes to group dynamics, clashes are just part of the creative process. we've got this sort of democracy going on—majority rules, but we always respect everyone's input. it's like steering a ship; sometimes you gotta trust the crew to keep us on course. it was freaking iconic to have you at the festival last night, feeling the vibes and rain. did you have a blast? i saw you and chloe finding a dry spot, and i was totally jealous. i didn't expect you to show up. i'm guessing one of the guys invited you? either way, it was the sweetest surprise. about your album⎯that's the spirit, babe! make something that resonates with you, something that feels real and authentic. 'cause in the end, that's what sticks, that's what people remember. screw the charts, it's all about pouring your heart into it. don't worry about getting banned—how could anyone ban someone with such impeccable taste and sweet face? but if they dare try, you better believe i'll be right there, ready to throw down and defend you.
