unrelated but that’s a sweet fireplace or mantle or whatnot.

 

@williamryankey did you 3D Print the AI piano?

 

Will try and watch later, if anyone has any cool highlights to share I'd love to read them!

 

Got a bit of the way through this

- Ryan said he decided early on that he would like a co-writer (for the first time in YC's history) as he hadn't done a full length or really written much pop punk in a decade. Mendez suggested Nick Long for that.
- Ryan says he was intimidated and overwhelmed at first because he had been out of the game for a while (felt imposter syndrome) but the writing process got him back in it pretty quickly.
- Songwriting started in April of 2024
- Said it was a struggle to try to keep the recording process a secret because it was obvious they were all together in LA
- Songwriting process went back to their roots as far as writing a song from the ground up in a room together instead of writing instrumental demos separately then adding vocals later (which he says was the common practice post-Paper Walls)
- Travis (as a producer) likes to sit back, let everyone hash out ideas while he listens/watches, and then chimes in with a great idea out of nowhere. He was also very encouraging and gave them a lot of confidence. Was very committed, giving them ideas and feedback in the middle of the night.

Edit: Also describes the record as "Pure Yellowcard" which is exactly how I feel about the two new songs.

 

There are three parts of that ap series. In the second part, the Ryans talk about Big Blue Eyes being a proud moment of a song. Sean and Josh seem to reference it in the third video as well. As for the first video posted here, I think the main takeaways are that the band is pushing ahead full steam (as we know). They are grateful and very complimentary of Travis and Nick. Ryan was pretty hesitant in the writing process at first, but got to a very confident place as it went along. Travis played a role in that.

 

man that is so wholesome

 

Hahahaha! Yes. Matrix level shit

 

Really cool to see Josh Madden's name in the list of creds, met him once back in the day, he's a nice dude.

 

Other two parts

 

I just realized my son’s due date is the same date as the album release. Man, this one is going to be extra special.

 

One or both of these things will be so loud, you won’t be able to sleep at night.

 

#14 this week.

 

This is so awesome

 

honestly, i (I think) live debut (~16:56)

 

Second time they played it – the first time was the night before. Ryan says it during the intro to the song!

This song rips live. I can't believe all of this is happening for them, and for all of us

 

I’ve been wanting to see this live to see how Jimmy does and he fuckin killed it. Hell yeah

 

YC PRO SHOT WITH HALF DECENT AUDIO!?!?! God damn, yes!!! This set is amazing.

 

Lads sound great.

 

Hold on they put out another song after Better Days and I missed it?

 

No. Not after. At the same time.
