_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ Well then you already mentioned about your mom
_ _ [Bb] _ _ [G] And then the Beatles you mentioned _ smile is the last
_ [Dm] _
_ _ _ [Eb] _ _ _ _
Yeah, it's one of the saddest songs ever written actually it's called smile
Yeah, but you know that's the sentence smile even though your heart is breaking you know I mean my mom loved melodies
She loved this.
You know she loved stuff like that, and I'm still saddened by her passing you know and
It _ _ _ was dedicated her it was something that I started playing at the end of the last tour
It just means Steve Weingart my keyboard player
We just come on as a second on course the two of us and just play a very emotive
Version of this beautiful melody, and I thought it'd be kind of fun to put on the album and dedicate it to my mom
What was the first time you heard this song?
Oh gosh look kid?
_ _ Yeah, it's one of those melodies that everybody hears to go even if they don't know it is they go.
I know that song
It's been in a lot of movies.
It's it's a legendary melody.
It's really haunting _ and you know
All you have to do I played it with it was actually cut live on the record just the two of us playing _ and
_ [G] _ _ _ _ _
There's a lot of emotion in that particular piece.
Why did you end with this song?
_ I thought was a nice way to just kind of take the beginning of the record starts out a little angry
Me me viewing the world and more like what the fuck happened
And _ and then as it you know as I lighten up with it halfway through the record
_ This isn't it brings it back down to earth again
You know I mean it ends on a very kind of poignant note like well.
You know well.
That's kind of that's Kennedy
_ _ _ _ Well, then jump back to to the beginning of the album just Monday
_ _ _ Already mentioned a line and this is there there's a line and then jump [Eb] back turn around
You realize you're running from your history.
This is about you about something about someone else
You _ _ know it's a composite of a few negative people that have been in my life.
You know a lot of people
_ [D] _ When someone goes after you like whether it be on the internet or personally _ usually the negativity that they're
Putting upon you is a reflection of themselves _
You know I mean
_ It's just it's what envy is if somebody's envious of you like they hate you for accomplishing something they wish they did themselves
It's not unlike that sentiment.
I mean there's some people that have _ _
Wrongly accused me of things I never did or just hate me for
Me and they don't even really know me and some people knew me really really well
And I hurt me very deeply to be accused of something that I [E] never really did
Because it didn't work out for them because they couldn't use me anymore to for financial gains or whatnot
I _ just had to erase that so it's really just don't worry, bud.
You're gonna get your judgment
This is it's not up to me to judge you you'll be judged by someone else if not yourself
Have you did you have this a lot in your life, or is it did I have what did you have these people?
Not a _ _ _ lot _
_ You know but when someone betrays you like that it sticks with you it hurts.
You know it's not [A] my ex-wife or anything like that
_ It's someone you know the people that I've worked with people that I know
People that I trusted that turned on me and blamed me for things going wrong when in fact it was their own fault
I think we all know people like that _ _ _ _ _
Creep motel _ _ oh, that's just a you know
Sorry, I got an itch in my nose, and I don't know why the analogy could be about the same person
And I know the devil has reserved your place in hell _ _ _
_ Sure, man.
There's a lot of haters on the internet
You know people that hate you.
It's not hate.
There's too much hate in the world.
You know I mean and
_ as I've
Cleaned [B] my mind and body and soul out
I've tried to get rid of that negative aspect of life the lot of creeps in the world
You know I mean and yeah
And that's a kind of part two to judgment day that was me starting the record out as a like
Exercising the demons and things that have pissed me off and people that have pissed me off
I think there's a lot of frustration negativity and hate in the world that I'm
_ Praying now that we've gotten past this election in LA and in the United States
_ And we're seeing what happened on the east coast that we can maybe see that
We're there's a bigger picture of this than like I believe in this you believe in this that's not so black and white
There's a gray area
But there's a lot of people that are negative and I just had to call it out and say fuck you
This is like this is my way of saying you know what I?
_ Can't change you you're just gonna be a miserable prick the rest of your life anyway
There's people that make up stories about themselves puff themselves up and put other people down
Or everything you read on the internet supposed to be factual, and it's not you know
_ _ _ _ _ _ No, I'm very self-deprecating him, and I've been wrong
I've lashed out and I've said stupid things that I wish I hadn't you know I've been guilty of the very thing the same thing
I'm calling out.
I mean, it's human nature to do this
Gossip is human nature everyone does it whether they say they do or not
The the silly part is people will look you right in the face go yeah, man
I'm not great, and then right as soon as you walk out the door.
They're like fuck you
You know and for that I go well don't be a phony creep motel is for phonies
I wrote that with a co-writer with fee way bill and CJ and fee always has a
Demanded way of putting things like that he he came up with the creep motel idea
I just sort of _ I made it more into the way.
I would speak if I use a swear word
I'm sorry if I offend anybody, but that's how I talk sometimes and sometimes those words really mean something
I wanted it to hit hard and that gets your attention
