Yeah, gravitas is a really good word for that.

That's why for me, it was like, this song is going nowhere.

The first time I ever heard it, I was in Erie, Pennsylvania.

Because I was back and forth between there and San Francisco.

And I heard it on a college radio station at like 9 o'clock at night.

And...

I just remember thinking, that thing took forever to finish.

Because it was longer than any song these kids were going to play the whole rest of the week.

And I thought that was going to keep us from.

Because a lot of times, you'll have edits.

And we never edited the song.

And it was almost four minutes long, when everything else is two minutes and 40 seconds.

And I was like, this is going to be tough.

Some of them didn't know it was a cover.

She covered Hey Soul Sister as well.

And then I performed Drive-By with her years ago at the Barclays Center in New York.

She's got a good-ass voice.

She got the lyric right, too.

Fall for a shooting star.

Yeah, so there were two, there's two lyrics that people miss.
