And I didn't wanna show it to Dan. I was like, I wrote this six minute piece of score off the pilot. And this is how I would think and how I still think to this day. And I'd start writing. And I came to LA and I extended my trip for a few days and I spent three days in a recording studio here in LA, like a real recording studio with a friend of mine.

And we recorded this piece of music and that's what I turned into Glenn and John and Dan, like after I spent like so much time on it. And Glenn and John and Dan were like, that's it right there, that's the sound.

It became... I turned this piece of music into them. And it was like, it became... You'll hear for the first time in like the first couple episodes when Chrissy is in that Weight Watchers class. That's the theme that plays there. That's the very first thing I ever wrote for the show. In my mind, I was like, this is a dramatic piece. This could end an episode.

I was like, this has this sort of weight to, it's got a melody. I was like, and Glenn and John were like, no, we're going to use it. And Dan was like, we're going to use it over a comedic sequence. You know how some of those Weight Watchers scenes early on were like, they were funny. There was so much banter there between you, Chrissy, the meetings, all that.

And in my mind, this is a funny comedic scene. I would get picture back and they would drop that theme over there. And I remember being like, why are we, this is a dramatic piece of score. Why are we putting over something funny? Wow. And that's when Glenn and John and Dan hit on something in the pilot. And they were like, we're never going to touch the comedy in the show.

You're not scoring comedy ever, which would be also be kind of hokey in some ways to do that. Cause it's, it's already grounded in real. It's funny, but we're going to score the subtext of why these people are here. And that's what they would do. And then it became like, okay, now we're starting to understand

That was the language of the show in terms of why we use music, when we use music, what it sounds like. And the other piece of it too was Dan told me when he gave me the script, he's like, we're thinking of using Sufjan Stevens. His song to play in the opening of the whole series. I heard and I love Sufjan. I heard it and I was like, okay, this is organic, acoustic based.

This is what they're already responding to. Then that piece that I wrote, felt like it could have been maybe like a B-side of like a sitcom. But it had that feeling a little bit. And so anyway, but that was a huge moment because that got me the job for the show. And it also taught me that moment that like, I can bring in my own artistry from my band world just by reading a script.
