Part 2 - Matt Scannell of Vertical Horizon
More about the anniversary of Everything You Want, performing, and writing lyrics
Highlights from this conversation:
"There was a way that (Seinfeld) described the art of stand-up comedy that... I felt there were through lines to what we do."
"The tone that we want to set when we start a show is that we're in this together."
"The feeling I get when I walk on stage with Richard (Marx) is what I would imagine the other players on the Chicago Bulls felt like when they walked on the court with Michael Jordan."
We delve into the his lyric "Listen and wait for the echoes of angels that won't return".
"Go listen to 'Subdivisions' from the Signals record (Rush)… and maybe (first) read the lyrics. It's astoundingly great."
