Some of the most memorable parts of the song.

Well, that's a really specific thing for me.

So I am originally from Erie, Pennsylvania.

And Tybo was invented by a guy named Billy Blanks, also from Erie, Pennsylvania.

And so it was a shout out to my hometown.

I hope so.

Like, you know, I've always thought of, there's always been two things.

Like people ask, did you ever think that you would last this long?

And I was like, yeah, because, and the reason was, is like, we knew in the first, you know, five to 10 years, we're not going to be the biggest band in the world, but maybe we can outlast them all.

That was always my goal, like outlast everybody because the marathon's more fun than the sprint.

And the second is in creating this music and seeing if it would last, it's like it really depends on the people that this music touches.

And I'll play golf with 30-year-old kids that ask me about the music that I've made because they learn train music from a car seat.

And that's cool.

I love that.

Their moms liked our music and without them even knowing, it affected them forever.

Yeah.

Oh, the other thing I was going to say is I've always felt that we are a romantic comedy.

Like you should be able to laugh and cry while listening to what we do.

Wow.

Or come to a train concert and have a specific emotional moment and then laugh at 50 Ways to Say Goodbye because it's so ridiculous.
