It's deep inside of you that makes you feel something that you haven't felt in other places.

Or maybe you feel that way because it's you making it that time.

But as a massive music fan, I'm trying to like

make something that respects all of the things that have inspired me my entire life, it still makes me feel like, wow, this is my statement now.

And you'd think that we'd have a formula now on how to write a dance song, at least, or write a pop song.

Forget about trying to write the truest song for you at that moment.

It still can come from anywhere, and it's so difficult.

And I think I would be surprised if any artist told you that they weren't rewriting their process every single time they go to do an album or a new batch of songs.

It's us tinkering around and it's really cool having someone that you've made music with your entire life because

What Chainsmokers music is, is what we both agree on is like fun and tasteful and we want to play out.

But it's not just me or just Alex.

It's like a reflection of our friendship and what we've gotten super stoked on listening to as music fans over the past 20 years.

60 degrees, but everyone's got their shirts off and the park pale.

One of the best days of the year, yeah.

Yeah.

it almost hurts the experience versus helps it sometimes if there's no barriers to entry or less and less every day for music creation what are we left with the same way it's like i could play a guitar the same way and sing a song that some other guy can but it might just hit different when that other guy does it or that girl does it based on their background or the way that they're holding it or the way that their voice inflects with that core like there's so much different that comes down to like brand

I hate to say brand when you're talking about art, but what is this thing that people are tuning into you to believe in?

And someone brought up the point the other day, no artist knows what song they should play at their show.

I don't know if you've ever heard that.

I thought that was a really interesting point.
