If they can't hum it after we play it, it's not for us.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
A melody is not merely something you can hum.
To me, our music is like Jamaican stuff - if they can't hear it, they're not supposed to hear it. It's not for them if they can't understand it.
Sometimes when people can't speak English, they hum the melody instead of singing along. Having 20,000 people humming your song is incredible.
We love a good, hyped sound, but when it starts to sound insincere, that's when I lose interest. I hope that our music, even if it sounds polished, doesn't sound insincere.
There's no way we could play a country song as well as a country band or a Latin song as well as a Latin band. We could never expect to do that. We just keep doing what we do, what we know how to do. We sound like ourselves.
We would play, then they would play a set, then we would jam on the last song.
We wanted to get everyone back focused on the fact we are playing live again. It really does sound great.
When you play, it's like you know that there are people out there who are hearing it for the first time, and I think that's really important.
Once we're inside a tune, we can do anything with it.
Let's keep the music with us. We'll always have it.
