My top two artists [F] of all time when I start really
loving music is Kate Bush, Bob Marley.
[Gb] I call it my 1A, my 1B.
And two would be NWA.
So yeah, that's what my musical taste like.
Because [N] my dad was listening to Run DMC and Houdini.
And my grandmother was listening to Bob Marley and Patti LaBelle.
And Uncle Russ was listening to The Doors and Kate Bush
and Guns N' Roses and Sting.
You know what I mean?
And it was just like, I loved all music.
And he was just turning me on to something
that was just brand new.
I love the production, first and foremost,
I mean, because it kind of set a tone.
And then the way she was singing the songs,
her voice was just angelic.
I was like, hadn't heard nobody do it like that.
[Cm] You runnin' [Ab] on me, you runnin' [Cm] on me.
You, you runnin' on me.
[Ab] It was just so weird, you know what I mean?
The sounds and what she was talking about,
it was just kind of crazy, you know what I mean?
And then he's like, you know she produced all this stuff too.
So I was like, oh man.
I just always thought of her like as like Phantom
of the Opera, kind of somewhere living in this big castle
with a piano that was 10 times the size of a regular piano,
just kind of just playing a piano all day
with sheer curtains blowing in the window.
Like she's like, almost like Rapunzel,
but on the top of a hill somewhere,
just in a castle, just desolate,
playing a piano and wailing.
I thought it was cool.
♪ [Cm] I just wanna feel like a demon again [Ab] ♪ Yeah.
♪ You, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you ♪
That's my favorite part.
Let's do it.

For one, it was good to pedal to, you know.
It made you go fast.
I just liked it.
You know, when the drums come on,
it just, it was like one of those, like a workout song,
you know what I'm saying?
So I had to ride like,
had to be like 20 to 30 [Abm] blocks to school.
You know what I mean?
So I would just listen to it and just ride.
And it was just good.
You know what I mean?
It was kind of adventurous.
And then the hook comes in and just make you pedal faster.
You know, by the time I got to school,
I was probably sweating, like I just got out of PE [Ab] class.
♪ He's rolling, [Cm] I make a deal with him, he says be running [Ab] up, be running [Cm] up the hill, be running up the hill, he's rolling, [Ab]

[Ab] It was pretty deep, you know what I mean?
I guess it was some two people in a relationship
and the woman was saying, if she could,
she make a deal with God to swap places
so the man could understand how a woman thinks

[N] I think her songs tell stories, and we also tell stories.
Sometimes there's a double meaning in what she says,
and the layers of production,
how the songs morph, they might start one way,
and then they morph and break down into something.
It's very theatrical in a sense,
to, you can kinda envision it in your head,
like, you know what I mean?
Where you can kinda envision your [E] own world
of what an outcast song is.
Her songs did that for me.
Like, it would just be so dramatic,
the different turns it would take.
It made the music exciting,
cause it wasn't just repetitive.
You didn't know what [G] was coming around the corner,
[Gb] and when that song ended,
you didn't know if it was going into another song,
or if that was like a B or C section

It was just [B] one cohesive body of work
that took you on an adventure.
