And maybe make some songs and put them out for fun for our friends to play or whatever.

And so at the same time as I was getting really serious about dance, we had this idea.

We recorded some little stupid songs.

And then...

My one of my dance teachers, Fred Diaz, said, and I've told this story before, but literally like the older I get, the more insane it is.

He he was like, Billy, stay behind after class one day.

And he was like, can you and Phineas make a song so that I can choreograph a dance to it and we can.

do it for the recital next year and I was so excited and I thought you know what Phineas just wrote a song that I think is called Ocean Eyes maybe it could be that one I go home I'm like Phineas Fred wants us to make a song let's make it as like danceable as possible we went home we recorded Ocean Eyes which he had written for his band

And he said it didn't feel right.

And he wanted me to sing it anyway.

So we were already kind of going to do that.

Anyway, we went to put it on SoundCloud.

It had a free download link up.

Anyone could download it for free.

And we only put it on SoundCloud to send an easier link to the dance teacher.

And so we did.

And then like that week I was getting ready for competition.

And then a week later, Phineas called me and he was like,

Billy Ocean Eyes has a thousand streams.

A thousand!
