Joshua Noel:

Foreign. Hey, guys.

Welcome back to some Joyful Noises music podcast without any rhyme, rhythm, or reason, where I don't even remember to pull up the outline so that I'll know what to say. That's right. That's how little reason goes into this show. This is gonna be crazy. We haven't planned much. We're kind of just hanging out.

I'm Joshua Knoll. I'm here with Will Ro. We're not the host because there are no hosts of this show. Anybody. Anybody can host episodes.

If you guys want to reach out and we'll see about putting whatever you record up, because why not today? You know, this is part of the Amazon Podcast Network.

Just a place where when we want to talk about music stuff, and we're doing it on the Amazon Podcast Network, we just do it here. Because why not? There's no schedule, so if you want to know when episodes come out, you kind of have to subscribe. And today it's so experimental.

Like, Pastor Will has told me he's not really even sure how he's gonna pull stuff up, and I don't even know what I'm gonna pull up. So we're gonna probably just stop in the middle of this and be looking stuff up. Who knows? Who knows what this will look like?

It's mostly just us hanging out, talking about summer songs because it's Memorial Day, and Will and I both really like summer for various reasons.

Will Rose:

We do. And, yeah, we're building this plane while we're flying it.

So if your fastened seatbelt sign comes on or you feel some turbulence is all Joshua's fault and my ignorance, because I don't know what I'm doing. But I do know I like music. I do like listening to music, and I do like summer, and I do like creating playlists. And so, yeah, let's do it.

Joshua Noel:

Yeah, it's gonna be fun. We're gonna create a summer song playlist. And it might be a mess, and it might not be our favorites.

Cause again, I put no thought into this beforehand. Like, I don't know what I'm gonna choose. I don't know what's gonna be said. And then.

And I'm for sure afterwards, I'm gonna be like, man, I can't believe I didn't mention Taylor Swift or something. You know? Like, I can't believe I left this out. It's just how it is. But sometimes that's.

Sometimes that's the best hangout, when it's just, like, you listen to music and it's just kind of random. And you're like, yo, hey, Will, have you heard of insert here? And you're like, no, we'll play this. Then boom.

And that might be more what this is than an actual playlist with a.

Will Rose:

Lot of thought into it and music recommendations. You know, have you heard this band? Have you heard this? I was listening to this earlier. Have you. And, you know, kind of like our geek stuff.

On our other podcast, Systematic Ecology, we recommend things that we geek out on. And no matter how in the know we think we are, there's always things we don't know and learn about. And that goes with music.

And one thing is parenting for my kids. If I could have just instill. Instilled in them a good taste in music, then that's half my job as a parent. And they do.

They have great and great taste in music. And my kids, like, recommend stuff to me times a dad. I think you'll like this. And it makes me very, very proud.

I also have a little app on my phone that when I hear TV shows or movies or in the wild in a coffee shop and I hear a song that just like. I'm like, ooh, I like that. What is that? I'll sound hound it. I'll throw it. I'll. I'll keep my list running.

And a lot of my music that I like, I get in the wild or off a TV show because I'm like, I really like where they place that song. And probably most of my playlist today is going to be coming from TV shows that I've been watching over the last couple months.

Joshua Noel:

Yeah, what's. You said Soundhound or something?

Will Rose:

Sound Hound is the app.

Joshua Noel:

What's that?

Will Rose:

It is an app that is kind of like Shazam, but it's. It's Soundhound. You just hit it, and then you hit the button and it kind of pulls from the.

Joshua Noel:

Yeah.

Will Rose:

So it's Shazam. But basically, Soundhound is the one I've been using, but I might switch up because that's been. It's not been coming in the clutch for me.

Coming through in the clutch for me. As of late, it's been not knowing what things are. I'm like, surely you know what that is? But it. Please, ignorance.

Joshua Noel:

See, I just. My wife knows music really, really well, so I usually am just like, hey, Tiffany, what's this?

Will Rose:

Yeah. Yeah.

Joshua Noel:

And, you know, it usually works out. Yeah. I'm not a music expert. I don't think Will would consider himself a music expert. I like music probably not as much as Will.

Will's more musically inclined to me. But we do understand that music's important. So part of, like, why we do the show is just like, we know, not culture, society, culture, community.

Yeah, there it is. Kind of revolve around music. Like, it's a big part of forming community and like, sharing with one another is stuff we listen to.

So that's part of why we do this is like, we want to be community centered.

So even though we're not music experts, we're not just talking about, like, what is meaningful to us and like, how we make connections and that kind of stuff. This one's mostly going to be a fun thing. Like I mentioned for me.

I know you kind of mentioned, like, a lot of your songs are probably going to come from. From like, shows and stuff.

Will Rose:

I don't know.

Joshua Noel:

I feel like half of mine, I'm like, this would be a great soundtrack. Like, if we were sitting on a boat, this would be the soundtrack to that moment, you know?

But I know, like, a lot of them too is just like stuff that I like to listen to in the summer. Some stuff that I'm gonna share.

A couple things that maybe I'm a little embarrassed that I like to listen to during the summer because, I don't know, for you, for me, summer is like, why let loose? I'm like, I don't care.

Like, for some reason I like the thoughtful stuff and like the good musical stuff put during like the fall or winter and then I'm summer. I'm like, I don't care. I'm a let loose. Whatever's like, popping on the radio and drinks and whatever. Like, we're just having a fun time.

And I think more deeply at beer camp and fall.

Will Rose:

Yeah. And I think, you know music. One of the things you don't have to be unless you're a musician and you're out there trying to make money off.

You don't have to be an expert. It's just like, you like what you like. You. There are certain beats or certain movements or certain moods you're in that you want to.

You want to go towards. And summer has a mood and, you know, coming off some great TV shows, heading to the summer, have some songs that I definitely want to play.

And I'm getting ready to hop on a plane in a couple weeks to Hawaii. And I know I'm going to want to play this in my earbuds as we're flying to Hawaii and some of these songs are going to be in there.

Joshua Noel:

Man, this is really random. I'M not going to play it because I don't know what the words mean and I don't want it to be like I play it like. Josh, that's a terrible song.

I know that. It's about death in Hawaii. That's all I know. But there's a song I really like to play during summertime that's like De Muerta in Hawaii.

And I'm like, this song's great. Has, like, nice.

Will Rose:

Well, if there's a way to go. If there was a way for me to go, it would definitely be like surfing. Don't.

Joshua Noel:

Don't. Not this time. When you're in Hawaii, though.

Will Rose:

Okay. Not this time.

Joshua Noel:

Yeah. Prolong it a while for us.

Will Rose:

72. I can catch a wave in Hawaii.

Joshua Noel:

172. Let's. Let's. No, but yeah, I don't speak Spanish, so I don't know what that song actually says.

And since I know death is in the title, I'm like, just a little eerie sharing that. But what I will share because I'm super excited about this.

Earlier this year, I did an episode about Yoko Shimomura, because just one of the best music composers, period, and of course does all of the music for the Kingdom Hearts franchise, as well as some for Final Fantasy, Super Mario, rpg, other stuff. But she's known for her work with the Kingdom Hearts franchise.

And just recently, just to fill my little heart with joy, she's now part of the same group as Steven Spielberg, as Sir Christopher Tolan, as Sir Anthony Hopkins. The greatest of the greats when it comes to film or TV or video games. The bafta. Yeah, the BAFTA companionship. Is that. What is it? No BAFTA Fellowship.

That's what it is. This year. They always pick one or two people every year. Their life work is a legacy that we have to recognize.

And this year they chose Yoko Shimomura to be among those great names. Which is great because now it's like amongst all of the Star Wars, Lord of the Rings, Star wars fans that are like, oh, we have people in BAFTA now.

Us Kingdom Hearts fans have someone too. So there we go. And in honor of that, I'm doing one of those soundtracks. Doing a soundtrack. This is from Kingdom Hearts.

Two Lazy Afternoons composed by Yoko Shimomura, recent member of the BAFTA Fellowship. Super excited about it. Yeah. Yeah. Don't want to play too much so that YouTube doesn't flag us as, like, stealing from people. But I love the song.

I feel like it's good vibe sitting on the porch, having some drinks on a nice summer night. That's what I'm thinking. Like. Like a nice chill vibe. Yeah, that's a good soundtrack. Yeah. Okay, so we'll start there with chill vibes.

Since I started with that, and we don't want to get too. Too much whiplash here. What are some other, like, relaxing, late summer afternoon kind of music that you might include in our summer playlist?

Do you have anything that kind of fits the vibe?

Will Rose:

As I look at a list here, if you want to pull this up. Is Joe Jackson Breaking Us Into. You know, I don't know. Again, I like Joe Jackson. Joe Jackson, his vibe.

It's kind of like yacht rocky, if you know, again, that that that phrase and that genre could be controversial. There was a whole big documentary around it that I absolutely loved and pulled some songs off of. But Joe Jackson Breaking Us into.

I don't know how I haven't listened super detailed into the lyrics and whether it's a sad breaking up song or. Or what. But I. I just like the bass line. I like the 70 vibes and I. And I like that it's kind of yacht rocky.

So know, if you want to pull that up and see.

Joshua Noel:

See what we got playing random parts, I don't know. Yeah, that's definitely a more chill vibe. Yeah.

Will Rose:

The bass line. The bass line is really good. The bass line is really good. That's what suckers me. And most of the time when I listen to things, it's that bass line.

It's the rhythm that lures me, and I can hear it in the wild. That's why I use that. That app. Like, I'll hear a good bass line or beat, and I'm like, oh, I need to know what that is.

I might have to clean it and put it in my algorithm.

Joshua Noel:

Yeah, I might put that. Put that in one of my playlists. That was nice. I like chill music a lot of the times. Cool. You know, summer during the day, I'm like, yeah, hype.

But afternoon, when you're starting to, like, unwind, you need something in that playlist to kind of like, get you to bring it in so you can sleep and not have the jitters all night.

Will Rose:

Right. Take it down.

Joshua Noel:

I got one that's maybe a little weird. I feel like younger people know, I might be pronouncing the name wrong. It's like Cuco or something like that. It's like a Spanglish artist.

I love his vibe. This is just one of his more popular songs, but there's a few of his songs that are just great. Yeah. So this is lo que siento.

Speaker C:

Tiempo.

Will Rose:

Mutos is the ultimate dream.

Speaker C:

I'm on top of the world baby girl, can't you see I found my perfect girl I want to make you my queen.

Joshua Noel:

Yeah, I don't. Yeah, I like, I never paid a ton of touch to the words of that, but like it's always like, I don't know, it's.

You could tell that it's more modern, but it's a lot more. I don't just chill. I don't know. I feel like for some reason most modern music is all like about the hype.

So I like when I find like a good modern, nice vibe that's also just chill. And I think I literally only listen to cook up during the summer. I literally don't think I have any other time of the year. Just summer hits.

And I'm like, yeah, yeah, I need this. This is my happy place.

Will Rose:

I think that I'm not familiar with that artist so that I'll definitely. I wrote that down and I'm going to add it to my list. And that's good. Travel, that's good. Sit by the pool having a drink at in Waikiki.

That could happen. That could very well happen.

Joshua Noel:

I'm trying to think the other one, it's. There's two that he's really known for. It's Locaciento and then Lover is a Day. Lover is a Day. I know.

I have a friend who that's their all time favorite song is Lover is a Day by Coco.

Will Rose:

Lover is the day.

Joshua Noel:

Lover is a day.

Will Rose:

Lover is a Day. All right, cool.

Joshua Noel:

Look it up. I'll probably have both of those in there.

I saw that these are a more recent album, so I might put a few from him in there because for me I'm like, I like the slow vibes every now and then. Usually when I'm driving is when I'm like, I want the bops. I need the energy.

So if we're going for the energy, Will, we're going back to the hype now. We're gonna give ourselves whiplash going off a cocoa and.

Will Rose:

Okay, okay, I think I'm ready.

Joshua Noel:

Ah, I forgot the name of yours already.

Will Rose:

No, no, no.

Joshua Noel:

I'm gonna edit this. I'm always gonna write it down.

Will Rose:

I'm gonna change it up on you. I looked up another one because I thought we're different kind of vibe. I'll bring the other one in later. This one is. I'm a big fan of the band Elbow.

They're a British Band and, you know, think YouTube, Coldplay vibes. Lots of albums. They tour a lot, but rarely in the United States and. But they are coming to D.C. in September.

A friend of mine shared with me, so I really went. They just dropped a new song this past week called Sober. And who knows? But I'm gonna. I'm gonna add it, and we're gonna. Let's.

Let's see where we go here. Let's have. Let's see. Let's see what we. All right, here we go. There you go.

Joshua Noel:

Very nice. Very nice.

Will Rose:

Yeah, he's got incredible. His. The band's name is Elbow, and his voice is absolutely incredible. The. The new song dropped is called Sober. And, yeah, he.

He's one of my favorite songs. I've always done. It's kind of chill. It's very romantic. It's called Mirror Ball. I think you'll love that one. Is. Is my top favorite songs of all time.

Joshua Noel:

We're both, like, taking notes.

Will Rose:

Yeah, but this is. And I love it. Whenever they drop a new song or album, I'm. I'm right there grabbing it.

But that one, you know, the beginning has some good beats and the baseline, and then you get him singing with some backup singers. It's really good. There's. There's a lyric in there about dunes d u in nes.

You know, beach on the dunes and then being by the pool and then, you know, being sober but also, like, losing all your money. So I'm just gonna hang out on the beach. I don't know. It's. It's a good one. It's a good one.

Joshua Noel:

I like it. I like it, man. Well, any. Any other, like, chill stuff before I go back to the. The bops, before we. We give ourselves that whiplash there, man?

Will Rose:

I don't know.

Joshua Noel:

Or do you have, like, a good transition? Is there, like, one that'll help us transition back into the. In the height mode? Okay. All right. He's got a thought. I feel the gears turning.

Will Rose:

Yeah. All right. So watching that yacht rock documentary not that long ago there.

I know Thundercat is a huge yacht rock fan and loves Michael McDonald and Kenny Loggin. So he collaborated on a song called show you the way. So I'm going to throw this up here and see. All right, here we go. I think you'll like this.

Another kind of yacht Rocky.

Speaker C:

Let me show you.

Joshua Noel:

All right. Yeah, Yeah. I think that that's a real good transition. I was thinking, too, there's a lot of good beach boy. That would be good transition, too.

Throwing some Kokomo, you know, because they're, like. They're not slow, but they're not, like, hype either. I feel like, you know. All right, all right. So we transition into our bop stage.

We're in the summer bops. Do I have one that I was like, specifically? Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. I was listening to this one earlier. I don't. It's.

It's definitely not one of my favorites, but it's one that I was like. I. I could see this making the cut. I could see it making the cut just because it's definitely a bop. Speaking.

Speaker C:

Speaking. They're telling me to, like.

Joshua Noel:

Yeah, so that's Lennon, Stella, and Charlie Puth. I don't know those artists, like, very well. Like, I know who they are, but, like. Like, it's not, like, something I actively listen to.

I was listening to it earlier, though, and I was like, that'll get me in the good summer. Like. Like, I could listen to that on the way to the beach. I'm going to the beach this weekend. I could listen to that and be like, oh, yeah.

Like, I could like driving listening to that. I would be envisioning myself at the pool with my drink going, yeah, okay. Okay. It gets me hype, you know? That's what I need.

Will Rose:

Nice. Nice. All right. Okay. This is an older song, probably from, like, last summer, but I'm gonna pull up Dua Lipa Dance the Night Away because is poppy.

I love it so much. I want to clap. I want to dance. So. So that's. That's what we're gonna do here, buddy.

And hopefully won't get flagged with showing the video and the dancing.

Speaker C:

I can take the heat, baby. Best believe that's the moment I shine.

Joshua Noel:

Cause every romance and their bands don't give a damn.

Will Rose:

There you go. Yeah, yeah. From the Barbie movie, right? It's from the Barbie movie. It's there. It was on the radio.

Joshua Noel:

All the Barbie movie songs could make it. All of them, the whole sound.

Will Rose:

I really love that song. And whenever it comes on, I turn it up really loud and dance to it. So, yeah.

I don't know if people think of Dua Lipa when they think of Will Rose, but when you hear Dance the Night Away, then, yeah, please think of me, because it's up there. It's up with me. One of my favorites.

Joshua Noel:

That is. That's a good one. That's like, what was the ones, like, up all night to get lucky. That's a good summer one. Yeah, that's a really good summer one.

Will Rose:

Yeah.

Joshua Noel:

That one's a lot of fun.

Will Rose:

Yeah. I like Pharrell, which is funny, because it's the.

Joshua Noel:

That. I think that's probably gonna be a theme throughout this.

I should, like, throw the disclaimer out that, like, a lot of the stuff I listen to with the summer, like, I don't agree with the values of some of this music. I just. They're fun, you know?

Will Rose:

Most pops.

Joshua Noel:

Yeah. Well. And, I mean, that's how I feel, like. Like, a lot of the people that.

A lot of, like, when it comes to the bops, like, just more generically than specific. I'm gonna have a lot of hairy Styles there. Harry Styles has to be there. Taylor Swift's gonna be in this mix.

When it comes to, like, the hype, like, good summer feelings, probably a couple of Ed Sheerans. Like. Like, I'm going real generic. Like, some of these, like, popular artists. They're popular for a reason. They're fun, you know?

I'm trying to think of who else. Trying to think of who else liked, like, what other kind of, like, you know, just general stuff. Weirdly enough, the very last album from.

What's the band that Harry Styles used to be part of? My brain's blinking right now. One Direction. Is that right? Their last album together.

I actually do enjoy it in the summer sometimes because there's one song that's, like, about. Our best conversations are in the a.m. talking about, like, staying up until past midnight. And I was like, ah, it's a good song.

Will Rose:

That's good summer.

Joshua Noel:

It's a good vibe.

Will Rose:

That's good summer. Yeah.

Joshua Noel:

Trying to look at, like, other. Just, like, random bop stuff that I enjoy. It's gonna be a lot of, like, Beach Boys, a lot of rap and stuff that we're probably gonna address later.

So maybe. Maybe it's a good time to move on to some of the stuff. Unless you had some other. Just generic bops you wanted to share before we.

That's the must have.

Will Rose:

I don't.

Joshua Noel:

All right. I mentioned a few. What are. For you, Some of the other artists that are must haves.

Not necessarily a specific song, but this artist needs to be included.

Will Rose:

Okay. For me, Beck, a big Beck fan. I like his.

I like how he can go super funky and weird and rappy and that kind of thing with sound effects and kind of DJing up. But then he'll switch it up and get super chill with some strings and violins and deep bass.

His dad's a string composer, so he often incorporates string music into some of the songs and albums he's he's due for. He's put out a couple poppy albums and. And just kind of DJ ish with a lot of bops and clicks and basses. But I'm ready for, like, a chill.

Lots of string music and. And violin. Violins in the background. Beck. I'm in the mood for that. Hopefully that'll drop soon. I'm not sure when, but, yeah, he's one.

Joshua Noel:

Yeah. Okay. I'm trying to think of. I have a few others that are absolutes for me. Malcolm Moore's got to be on there. Okay. I can't.

I can't do this without Malcolm or somewhere in the mix. I'd be a traitor to my generation if I didn't say Post Malone. So he's got to be in this mix. Malcolm's got to be in the mix.

Obviously, the Beach Boys are gonna be in the mix. Trying to think of some other. Oh, I know one.

Because I was gonna share it in the bops, and then I forgot because this is a weird one for people who don't know me or don't know the band. Because it could fit in a few different places in our outline. Yeah, I'm breaking the third window thing, but whatever.

Because, like, it could be a bop. It could be put in, like, the country folk section. It could be part of, like, just, like, what artists.

Because I love this artist, and I will say it's divided here. For me. I love all of Judah the Lion. Early Judah the Lion, great for summer. Later Judah lion makes me think too much.

I don't need that in my summer playlist. I can listen to it separately on its own.

Will Rose:

Right, right. Yeah. Summer. Summer is not necessarily for contemplation unless you're on sabbatical and you got some work to do.

Joshua Noel:

Yeah, yeah. No, for me, it's like, I just finished my first semester for my master's.

We've gone through all this change at work, and I'm like, I'm going to the beach. I don't want to think about anything. Like, I'm struggling about whether I even want to bring a comic to read.

Like, how much thinking is actually, you know, like. But that being said, I am going to play a part of a Judah and A Lion song because it's Judah and the Lion.

This is some of their older work that I love during the summer, especially if I'm with tj because TJ used to wanted to be an astronaut. So for some reason, I just always associate this song with our. Our friend tj Jun. Lion going to Mars Here we go.

Will Rose:

Through the mistakes your body you are. Don't reach for the moon when you go into mar.

Speaker C:

Going tomorrow can do any.

Joshua Noel:

I hate that. I just had live reaction to my first time seeing the video because, like, I need to see that full video.

Will Rose:

Like, that's Judah and the Lion.

Joshua Noel:

Yeah.

Will Rose:

Okay.

Joshua Noel:

Yeah, that's early June Lion. That's like, that would look like a sci fi video. Like, there might be a whole story to it.

So I'm going to be going back after this and checking out the video for going to Mars. Judah Lion. And now that it's sci Fi, I'm going to end up associating it with, like, Will and dj.

Will Rose:

And we have some people out there, some billionaires who want to go to Mars or trying to. So we'll see.

Joshua Noel:

Well, I also know someone who lives in the same neighborhood as Judah and Lion, so that's wild. They go to beer camp every year and I'm like, yo, get me in contact. I'm trying so hard. I want to be there. Fred forgot this name.

He's part of our Facebook group for some joyful releases, though. So maybe he'll hear this and be.

Will Rose:

Like, yo, it's me. Don't forget my name. Sometimes listener, sometimes Joshua. Don't take it. To take it personally.

Joshua Noel:

Yeah, I am very scatterbrained. Just in general, I'm sure there's a few others that I'm like, this has to be an artist that's included.

My brain's blanking at the moment other than K9, but I'm going to bring him up a little bit later too. Will, is there any other, like, this artist absolutely needs to be in the mix?

Will Rose:

No, I got some other stuff, but I think they fall under your different themes. So for this year, there's not some people that I've gleaned from shows that I'm going to put on this summer's playlist.

Joshua Noel:

Cool, cool, cool. Let's move on then. What about event based stuff? So sometimes you're going to Disney, you're going camping, you're going surfing.

So, like, because of the event, you might want a certain song included because you're like, yo, I like. There's a song. I don't remember who it is or the exact title, but it's like camping by the water.

Every time I go camping, because I go camping on an island, that one's included. Zach Back Brown.

Zach Brown band, whatever his name is, he has a song that's just Islands that was always included when I go and camping on this island. What about for you? Is there any like event? Like I'm gonna go surfing and when I do, I have to hear this before I sit out out to see.

Will Rose:

No, not necessarily.

Joshua Noel:

Like, I do remember usa.

Will Rose:

No, no, I do remember, like back, back in the day when I was younger and I served surf contests, I'd put on the headphones and, and try get hyped to go out there and surf my best. But now, you know, listen to podcasts, I'm talking to family, or welcome to the beach where casually there's nothing really there.

But I will say, like, this summer I want to finish my book on God as a surfer. And so yeah, why don't you finish it too?

And, and I learned about this song on a show and right now I, it is my alarm clock when I wake up and I, I, this is a classic rock band from back, back in the day, I think 70s and I, I now love this song. So here you go. So I got work to do. I got work to do.

And you wouldn't think about that for summer, but you know, summer if things are a little bit laid back around on campus and they're a little bit more laid back and our kind of pace of ministry here at Holy Trinity, but there's other things I want to catch up with. I got work to do. I wake up, I got work to do. That work could be hang out with my family.

That work could be like, I'm going surfing, but I'm going to work and I'm going to get this book done. And average white band work to do is in my playlist this summer.

And it's also my what I wake up to with that, with that baseline and funky drums and horns. I'm ready to go. I'm ready to go to work.

Joshua Noel:

Nice. Nice, man. I mentioned a few of the ones when I go camping on island. You and I, I mentioned that on a different episode.

If TJ's going and it's gonna be camping, that one's also gonna get played. Work to do is a really good song. I wanna re listen to that. There are different things you work on during the summer too, right?

I'm probably gonna write a little bit more for my sub stack during the summer since I won't be doing as much college work. I feel it, I feel it. I personally think that Disney World's an awful place to go during the summer.

Think spring and falls when you go to Disney World because Florida sucks during the summer. I love Florida, but you know, you got to be real about some things.

July, central Florida, where you don't get the breeze, the heat just stays there, trapped with the humidity, and you're just basically stuck suffocating. Why with a bunch of other people? Because it's super crowded during the summer, too. Disneyland would be okay, though.

And if I was going to Disneyland, knowing about they have Marvel and Star wars and all the fun Disney stuff, and Phineas and Ferb makes more appearances. Yeah, here's one I think I would play if I was going to Disneyland for a summer trip.

And this is also just because Will's here and I can make him listen to this.

Speaker C:

Never gonna find a better place to be than this little slice of heaven tucked in between the jundling waste and the big dude sea. We can surf through the can or train attack a d blacks, build a giant hamster habitat for want.

Ratch a fire up our solar powered sand castle making machines. Yeah, we're living like kings out here. We got a two sun summer to hold on year booze and beggars. Can you hit our keys?

Joshua Noel:

I just, I think my favorite part of that song, like, not only is, like, it's just a good summer vibe, but also just like, they were like, wait a minute, two suns. It's always summer on Tatooine.

Will Rose:

Always summer.

Joshua Noel:

It's so funny because, like, the Skywalker's always whining about Tatooine and the sand. And then Phineas and Ferb show up and they're like, yeah, summer, it's our favorite place. I love it.

Will Rose:

Yeah. And are they coming out with more another season? Yeah, we're ready.

Joshua Noel:

So much so that Disney's like, you know how they have their, like, streams? They have one that's just Phineas and Ferb right now. Like, so people can constantly watch Phineas and Ferb live with one another if they want.

Yeah, yeah. I don't want to. I love Phineas and fur, but that's a little too much for me as an adult, you know? All right, all right.

So moving past the event based stuff. Let's go.

Will Rose:

Wait, can I share one more? Can I share one more, please? Oh, this is an oldies. This is an oldie. Keep going, Keep going.

Joshua Noel:

It'll be a good transition, though. We're going to transition from events to oldies. And by oldies right now, we're specifically older than the 90s.

Will Rose:

Okay.

Joshua Noel:

s:

Will Rose:

It is, it is.

Joshua Noel:

Because it's not oldies, but it's definitely, definitely not modern.

Will Rose:

Yeah. All right. So this one is like a transition of, like, a vibe, but also it's a classic. And I did glean this off a TV show.

I forgot which one it might have been. Righteous Gemstones, I'm not sure, but here you go. It is Johnny Thunder. I'm alive. Let's go for it. There you go. Go. You're alive. We're alive.

We're all alive. Let's do it. Let's live this summer.

Joshua Noel:

That's a good wake up song too. Like, it started off, I'm like, okay, yeah, nice chill vibe. I'm alive.

Will Rose:

Yeah.

Joshua Noel:

Awake. I'm awake. I know that much. I'm alive and I'm awake. Oh, man, that's a good one, man.

Will Rose:

Yeah. Yeah.

Joshua Noel:

Okay.

Will Rose:

Again, like, these TV shows, they'll throw something at me. I'm like, I think. I know that. I think I may have heard that. But I'm. I'mma grab it and. And. And add it. Add it to the list.

Joshua Noel:

Yeah, man. Yeah, okay. Before 90s, man. Again, I'm thinking more general at the moment, but I'm like, this is when I think the Beach Boys start getting included.

Or I think a few of the Beatles songs could be here. It'd be pretty cool. Obviously, Jimmy Buffett, some Elton John I think I want in the mix. You got anything specific that you're like?

These are just good oldie vibes that we want in here.

Will Rose:

Yeah. This one I definitely heard this from. Hold on, let me. Let me queue it up here. I heard it from Righteous Gemstones.

And at the end of the first episode. That was so moving of this latest season is so good. Let me get through this right here. And cue it up. Okay, here we go.

Oh, man, this is such a beautiful song. Lee Hazelwood and Susie. Susie Jane Hockham. For a day like today Here we go.

Speaker C:

There's a dream I've been saving for a day Night today Yellow trees Indian waters Flowing softly on the way There's a dove in the treetop Singing peace on the wind again and again.

Will Rose:

Oh, man, I can't. I. I had a hard time stopping that song. It's so good. Lee Hazelwood has another song called you'd Sweet Love, and it's absolutely gorgeous.

And I heard this song on. At the end of Righteous Gemstones on a very moving kind of episode. You don't think Righteous Gemstone has, like, very, like.

Yeah, I didn't realize, but it does. But, man, that first episode in Civil War era of a guy who's a. Oh, my gosh. And this was at the very end. And it moved me.

I'm like, I gotta have that one.

Joshua Noel:

So.

Will Rose:

Yeah.

Joshua Noel:

I didn't realize they had such a killer soundtrack till we. You started sharing songs like. Wait a minute. They do. They do. So that a great.

Will Rose:

They play some good songs.

Joshua Noel:

Yeah. You know which one that I like to play? This is like event based and oldies, I guess. But like when I always listen to when I go camping.

That's a good oldie for summer time too, I think. Southern nights, Glen Campo.

Will Rose:

Nice. Yeah. Yeah.

Joshua Noel:

Which it's funny because, like I listened to that like for a long time. And then once they played that in, I think it was Guardians 2. When they played that one, I was like, they get it. Such a good song.

I do want to point out to everybody Jimmy Buffett, even though he. I think he just passed away like last year and he's still doing some. Did some modern stuff for a while. Like, even as a Zach Brown man, his old.

Maybe some of his most classic, like the stuff that you most think of are mostly like late 70s, including cheeseburger in paradise, which is going to play a commercial. So we can wait. But man, I love. I love this song. Okay, here we go.

Speaker C:

Drinking lots of carrot juice and soaking a race. But it's not.

Joshua Noel:

I'd have these wonderful dreams.

Speaker C:

Some kind of sensuous treat. Not zucchini fettuccine, bu. But a big warm bun and a.

Will Rose:

Huge tong of meat.

Joshua Noel:

Cheeseburger in Paradise. I know everyone already knows that song. Just a sin to not play it.

Will Rose:

Well, can I give you my hot take?

Joshua Noel:

It's gonna be. It's gonna be.

Will Rose:

It is. It is. I'm not a Jimmy Buffett fan at all. And a lot of his songs really get on my nerves. That's hard for me to listen to.

And so I understand the lore behind him, his legendary status and in terms of beach culture, yacht culture, lounging, drinking, culture, whatever. But I.

Joshua Noel:

He's one of my peeps.

Will Rose:

I know. I'm just.

Joshua Noel:

I hate to.

Will Rose:

I hate to break your heart, Joshua, but I. And my. My kids also like, give me a hard time about it. And so does Cindy. They're like, oh, he's classic. He's the best. He's fun.

I'm like, I don' Like Jimmy Buffett at all. I don't.

Joshua Noel:

One of my favorite Christmas songs is a Jimmy Buffett song. And this is like deep cut, random. But he has a song that's yo ho ho and a bottle of. Yeah. Yo ho ho ho and a bottle of rum.

Will Rose:

Yeah. That makes sense.

Joshua Noel:

I loved that. I was like, yeah, this is great.

Will Rose:

Yeah.

Joshua Noel:

I don't know.

Will Rose:

There's somebody. There's people out there who I don't. I just do not like and won't listen to. They're not in. In my wheelhouse.

But then every now and then, they'll surprise me with a good one. Another hot take. I'm not a Bruce sp fan. I don't. I don't like Bruce. I don't like the Boss.

Joshua Noel:

He would be in his playlist, too, I feel like.

Will Rose:

I know.

Joshua Noel:

Yeah.

Will Rose:

But he sometimes surprises me with a good one. I know there's some people out there who are Die Hard fans are like, I don't even know if I can be friends with you anymore, Will.

But I'm like, you know, we all have our. Our. Our bad opinions. Like, Joshua.

Joshua Noel:

I am. You know, say, I am Joshua. But I. I don't know. I love me some. Some Jimmy Buffett. I love Springsteen. It was fair, man. There was something.

I was just thinking that. I was like, man, I can't believe. It's fine, it's fine. We'll move on from you not liking. I was gonna say.

Will Rose:

Time to change the subject here.

Joshua Noel:

I can hurt people's feelings, too. They're like, yeah, who is it you do like last night, Everybody likes. That's the who sings wap. Who is that?

Will Rose:

Oh, yeah. I can't pull it off top of my head right now. Cause I know you're talking about.

Joshua Noel:

Yeah, I can't think of her. Her. And there's only like two or three other artists that are blocked on my Spotify account. It's her. It's that redhead everybody likes these days.

I can't even think of her name. Chaperone. Yeah, she's blocked on there. Charlie xcx. And then there's like, one other that I'm like, no, they just.

It's because I can listen to a lot of similar music, and I do like their radio, and I don't want their songs to pop up when I'm listening to random radio. So if I block them, I don't have to worry about that because their voice just annoys me that much.

Will Rose:

Didn't know you could block people on Spotify because you can.

Joshua Noel:

It's great. Yeah, there's several artists that I'm like, well, several. There's literally four and. And it's like, those are three. I don't remember.

The fourth one is actually. It might be. Actually, my ghost might be the fourth one that I bought. I Don't remember, but yeah.

s:

Will Rose:

Cool.

Joshua Noel:

What do you got for us there?

Will Rose:

All right, we have some Midnight Oil, the Australian band who's been a part of some, like, surf videos, Advocacy about the environment. They're very hardcore about environmentalism. Cindy pulled up this. This band and kind of the Spotify algorithms on radio around then.

We were doing yard work, and I heard this song. I was like, I don't know if I know this one. And I was like, all right, I. I think this is going in. In the play.

Speaker C:

The Bedfell Creek Hotel is up for sale. The last square mile of Terra Fermi gambled in the vale. So farewell to the north of God and kind.

Will Rose:

No Amanda who make believe can help.

Speaker C:

His heart of mind. Your dream world is just about to end.

Will Rose:

There you go. I think you would like them a lot. Are you familiar with them?

Joshua Noel:

Yeah, I like that vibe. No, I'm not. But that.

Will Rose:

Yeah, they're. They're 90s band Australia Advocacy. As much as you love the environment and you love your trees and you love camping, I think they would. They.

They're prophetic in their voice about defending the environment and taking care of it. So I think they would be right up your alley.

Joshua Noel:

Nice. Nice. There's a lot from here especially.

I grew up in the 90s, but I wasn't allowed to listen to anything other than, like, specifically Christian music or Disney music. So, like, the last decade, I've been, like, relearning the songs that I should have been listening to as a child.

And I'm like, man, I would have loved all of this. Like, I just learned about Sugar Ray not that long ago, and Will really made me question my life. When he was like, oh, that one song he does.

And I was like, I still feel bad about Google. I was like, what's the one song he's known for? Like, I. I had no idea which one it could have been.

Will Rose:

I think my quote was. I think my quote was like, are they just gonna play that one song over and over and over again? Because that's the only thing.

And you're like, wait a minute. I really like him. What did you. I was like, oh, sorry. I'm just.

Joshua Noel:

It's so funny because apparently my wife loved him like. Like, as a kid. Like, she was like, this is the best ever. And I'm like, because we're in Universal and he just happy playing he's like, I can't wait.

And I'm like, who? And then I listened. I was like, I love it. Like, his energy on stage two was so good originally as a bit.

So TJ and I have a very long playlist of just songs about trains or featuring the band Train. And at first it was just a bit, and then we were like, actually, this playlist is possibly our favorite playlist ever.

Turns out they're just all bangers for some reason. And then I discovered I actually just really like the band Train. So I have a lot of trains gonna be in here.

Sugar Ray is gonna make it for me in the 90s, of course, smash Mouth. And not just the Shrek song, but also the other one that everyone remembers, the walkie Dawn Sunshine. I mean, it's a great song.

It's a lot of fun, but which they cover. I think one covered.

Will Rose:

They covered.

Joshua Noel:

Wait, maybe I'm thinking of something else. Then there was one that they did that I thought was just theirs. Give me a second. We're just going to look this up.

Will Rose:

Yeah, yeah.

Joshua Noel:

While you're looking at Walking on the sun, it's not walking on sunshine, it's Walking on the Sun.

Will Rose:

Okay, there you go. There you go.

Joshua Noel:

Okay, cool. You're going to play something. Go ahead.

Will Rose:

No, this is off of a. I heard this out in the wild, too, and it's got some vibes. It's not. It's not the 90s, though. We're kind of shifting. Should I keep going?

Joshua Noel:

Oh, I got. I got one.

Will Rose:

So we are in the.

Joshua Noel:

s,:

Will Rose:

Okay, good.

Joshua Noel:

Because mine's also:

Will Rose:

Yeah, play that. Mine's random. Keep going. Yeah, I think it's later. We're playing cleanup at the end. We're doing miscellaneous. That's what I'll do.

Joshua Noel:

Oh, okay. Well, I love Kanahan. Not just because, like, his wisdom and because, like, when he raps about, like, hard times, it's like actual hard times.

Not like some of the. What other rappers did. But also he's like, the same kind of philosophy as I think. And he's a lot of fun and I think, cool. Beach vibe.

I'm going to give him beach vibe still. This is one of my favorites. In the beginning from K9.

Speaker C:

So in the beginning, there was a.

Joshua Noel:

Hum from a poet whose Paul Fell Drum Drum, drum.

Speaker C:

He will perform treason all till one day hear the voice call.

Joshua Noel:

That's hard for me to stop to. I don't know why I started that song. Now that I think about.

I feel that way about so many of his is like, the Dusty foot philosopher is another one that he has. There's a. One of his was played in the Olympics, but they edited for it. There's, like, waving flag.

But, like, so much of his stuff, I love one of my favorites.

I can't remember the name of the song, but it's like he's going verse by verse about this wisdom that was passed down from different people throughout history. And he talks about how his mom told him the same thing. And it's kind of about how loving people is actually just better for you, too.

Hate doesn't actually achieve anything, and it's so powerful coming from someone who actually immigrated from another country that was violent and dangerous. And he was like, yeah, actually, violence is stupid. And you're like, man, yeah, I love him.

Will Rose:

Yeah. I'm not familiar with him, but I did add him to the list. I'm like, glad you turned me on to him. So, yeah, that definitely will go on the.

On the playlist for the summer.

Joshua Noel:

I think you'll enjoy the meaning in some of his stuff, too, because it's so good. It's not Christian, but very Lutheran, I think, in the sense of, like, how we're all entangled. Mr. Maybe, you know, unconditional grace.

Will Rose:

We're all connected.

Joshua Noel:

Yeah. Yeah. We don't.

Will Rose:

We don't earn our salvation by any works of our own. That's. That's very Lutheran.

Joshua Noel:

Yeah, man.

Will Rose:

So good.

Joshua Noel:

It's good stuff.

Will Rose:

Good.

Joshua Noel:

Okay. What's. What's. Are you gonna wait till. Till Miscellaneous for the. For the other one?

Will Rose:

Yeah, I think. I think so. I think so.

Joshua Noel:

All right, I got a couple.

Will Rose:

I got two more for Miscellaneous, and I'm not a country music and folk fan. I like folk. I like. Like bluegrass, that kind of stuff. But not a big country fan. And I could throw in some rap there if we get to that.

But I got two more from Miscellaneous, and you just.

Joshua Noel:

s,:

s,:

Will Rose:

Go for it. Ask that again. Sorry.

Joshua Noel:

Country and folk. You said you can't think of anything.

Will Rose:

No, I mean, I do like some folksy. Like, when we go to the mountains, I do turn to Blue Glass Station and there's the public radio up near Asheville. WNCW plays some good stuff.

But I'm not a big traditional country fan.

Joshua Noel:

But, yeah, I like some traditional country. But weirdly enough, during summer, I don't want the traditional. I like some of the modern country. And I just. I don't know, I feel a.

Like me, you, tj, Ryan Doles. If he, for some reason showed up, Josh Patterson. And we're in my backyard and Toby Keith pops up with a red solo cup.

Like, I feel like you gotta sing along at least a little. Right, Right. It's hard not to. Some of those I don't. For me, there's some country songs that I'm like. I just.

These are good summer times, you know, Toby Keith is a lot of them. The problem is there's a lot of country artists that are just problematic.

So I kind of, like, tiptoe around who I want to choose or not because I don't know, have the time to look into who all was bad people. Now I know I'm not supposed to like Morgan Wallace. I think Post Malone had a country album, though. It was good. So we're getting back to Post Malone.

Zach Brown Band definitely making that mix primarily because, you know, they also do stuff with Jimmy Buffett, the Goat that Will loves. But they have a few other ones that I like there. They have, like. It's like country beach, and I love it. And I'm gonna play a little bit of this one.

This castaway from Zach Brown Band.

Speaker C:

Make it a strong one. We're gonna have some fun tonight.

Joshua Noel:

I.

Speaker C:

Wanna be a cast away and leave the world behind High Take a tropic holiday say goodbye down by the coast yeah.

Joshua Noel:

And then they have, like, toes. They have island.

Will Rose:

That's good. That's good. That's good. Summer vibes. I like that. That was good. That was good.

Joshua Noel:

Yeah. Yeah. I feel like Zach Brian has a few that I'm like, this. This can be both. They bridge Gap really well.

Judah the lion, obviously, I mentioned them earlier. I'm putting them in here. Combs has a few that I'm like. That's fun. There are some country songs I think are just fun. So they're good for the summer.

Folk is a little bit different for me. Most of my folk stuff, I'm like. I like it in the fall because it's like, it's contemplative. It's thoughtful and already mentioned.

I don't want to think during the summer. I just want to have fun. But I will say I know Mumford and Sons Delta album. I think it's pretty good during the summer.

Julian Alliance Pep Talks is really good for summer music.

And then what's funny is I'm struggling to remember the name of the album, but one of its, like, from the river to the Sea or something, I don't know. But Passenger has one album that actually is good during the summer.

Passenger is my all time favorite artist and I'm gonna play one of his songs that I like during the summer. It's a good folk summer song for me.

Speaker C:

Get out on the ocean if you sail out on the sea you get up in the mountains if you go climbing on trees or through every emotion when you know that they don't care Darling, that's when I'm with you oh, I'll go with you anyway.

Joshua Noel:

Yeah, that's. He doesn't have a lot that I'm.

Will Rose:

Like, what's the name of that song?

Joshua Noel:

Anywhere. Anywhere by Passenger. And there's a couple on that album that I'm like that actually. That's a good one. Like, it's.

Will Rose:

That was a good one. I like that.

Joshua Noel:

It's a lot more happy. I feel like a lot of Passenger songs aren't happy, but that one was good. Yeah. Yeah.

And I can't think of any other country fold that I'm like, has to be in, even though I do like. I like it. I like some of the good, fun country songs. Not like the oh, My Dog and My girl died and, you know, I'm sad about my truck.

I like the fun country songs during the summer, you know. Know, Red Solo cup is the fun summer, I guess. What about rap? Do you have any that you're like, we're gonna throw some. Some rap in there.

Will Rose:

Yeah. I. For me. All right. I'm gonna throw this. I. I do like 90s rap. I'm kid of the 80s and 90s. So 80s and 90s raps is really cool. Modern day rap.

I don't like all the autotune stuff, but there. There's definitely exceptions to the rule. I like. See, I think. Let's see De La Soul.

And we're going to do here we have official audio of Let me get this roller skating jam named Saturday. And I really like De La Soul a lot. They kind of minimize late 80s, early 90s rap. And I think. I think you'll like this.

Joshua Noel:

All right, all right.

Will Rose:

Here we go. Here we go, here we go. And with that one, you get Q Tip from Tribe Called Quest teaming up with De La Soul. So two of my favorites. Tribe Called Quest.

Dale Soul collaborating on that one.

Joshua Noel:

Man. Yeah. There are a few when it comes to rap that I would want to include. I mentioned K9 already. I love Eminem, but I don't think.

I think Eminem you listen to on its own. It's not part of a playlist. Eminem, he's on his own little island over there for me. Kendrick Lamar, Peekaboo.

I think I'd have that in this because that one's just fun for me. Peekaboo. I don't know. Something about how he does it that's just fun. The one that's embarrassing. Embarrassing. I love Young Gravy.

A majority of my current summer playlist is Young Gravy, and it's embarrassing because I don't agree with anything of his values. He just sleeps around with everybody.

Most of his songs are about taking your girl or sleeping with your mom or sleeping with your sister or something. But, man, he's so much fun. Me and my wife actually went to one of his concerts in Charlotte, and I'm like, this guy's just as much fun in person.

And you could tell it's very highly produced. There's probably a lot of auto tune, but I'm like, man, it's just fun. And he does a lot of, like, sampling other older songs in his.

So I couldn't find anything of his to actually sample that. I'm like, this is okay. Except for some reason, they included him in the Dogman movie.

Will Rose:

What?

Joshua Noel:

And I only heard this today, and this is not, like his normal stuff at all, but it shows you kind of, like, how he's fun and some of the cleverness. So I'm gonna play a little bit from Super Good Good. Featuring James Brown.

Will Rose:

Oh.

Joshua Noel:

So you can kind of hear what Young Gravy is actually all about.

Will Rose:

Super fresh.

Joshua Noel:

That's your mama.

Will Rose:

She's impressed.

Joshua Noel:

Yeah, you know. Good. Yeah, Always so good. So good. Baby, in my bad, like I'm frito. Like crispy gold cranberry rare like a T bone steak.

Speaker C:

I'm good, I'm good, I'm good.

Joshua Noel:

I just. I love rare. Like a Tebow, like a Tebo steak. And he's like, ask your. I'm good.

Like, even somehow, even in the kid movie, he, like, suddenly slid the your mama thing in there. And I'm like, man, he's so much Fun. I don't know, man.

Will Rose:

Yeah, that was good. Yeah.

Joshua Noel:

Don't listen to anything else from him, or else you'll have to judge me and I'll have to go to like. And we don't even do that, I don't think.

Will Rose:

But we're weird call. You know, you can see it's like some kid watching Dogman movie and going, I like that song. Who did that? I'm gonna look for more songs by this guy.

Joshua Noel:

She's like, don't stop. Yikes. Yes. Yeah, there's one of his that's like gravity. Talking about how he's like gravity because he pulls all those. Insert word. I don't say that.

Infers to women.

Will Rose:

Ah, gotcha.

Joshua Noel:

I'm like, okay, well, that's your gravy, though. He's fun, but not a good person. Well, maybe he's a good person, but he's very sexual. Promiscuous. Sexually promiscuous. I'll say that. Yeah.

Yeah, there we go. He could still be a good person, but okay, we. We did. I think we'll cover most of the basics. We could probably have some rock stuff in there.

There's some stuff that I would probably include even from Greta Van Fleet, you know, Shout out to Broken Bells, some of the slower rock. I like I mentioned earlier the Beatles, but that's my main stuff. I already put out my main stuff. I can't think of other.

I'm sure that I haven't even included my favorites. I'm sure later I'll be like, man, I didn't even tell you my favorite summer songs, right?

Will Rose:

There's only so much which I didn't. I actually didn't.

Joshua Noel:

Because I used to. This will be the last thing I say. I used to every time I go to Wilmington.

I would go during the summer after I left school and visit my friends who still live there. I would always play Modest Yahoo and Jimmy Needham. Jimmy Needham's a Christian artist who sounds a lot like old big bands. Modest Yahoo.

That those Jewish. Lot of hay sounds really good.

I would like his one day to become popular again because he's a Jewish person, and one day is about not having violence in the world anymore. And right now I feel like that's a potent message coming from someone who is ethnically Hebrew, you know? But, man, there's a lot from him.

There's one that's like, sunshine, you are my sunshine. I think that's one that absolutely has to be on the playlist is Sunshine by Modest Yahoo. Some. Some Jewish Reggae in here? Why not? All right, Will.

What, what do you got left for us?

Will Rose:

All right, so going down the miscellaneous, these are some songs I heard gleaned off of TV shows. This one's Royal Otis called. Called Foam.

And if we're going to play in the ocean and play on some waves, then, then we gotta, we gotta, we gotta play with some, some ocean foam. It's hard to, it's hard to stop that one, too. And I got one here. I, I, I wonder, I don't know if you know this band.

They're kind of got a weird, weird sound and they. Yeah, let's see here. They had a song in Righteous Gemstones, and I, I thought it was super.

Joshua Noel:

I'm just gonna have to listen. Super good Jimson soundtrack again.

Will Rose:

Yeah, yeah. I'm gonna, I'm gonna try to cue it up. It's a song, you know, going back to. It's a song called Grace. And I don't know what they mean.

What's going on in theology behind this? There is no God, there is no king. There's only. There's certain things. So let's, let's hear what they, what they got here.

Give me grace make me pure when.

Speaker C:

They'Re knocking at my.

Will Rose:

Safe away from.

Speaker C:

Harm hold me in my breath desire.

Will Rose:

That'S the vibe. It's got good lyrics. They have some really. Other, other songs that just have just a.

I don't even know how to, like, classify them in their genre of, like, rock or spoken word or rap or, or punk. It's, It's a cool band. Idols. Grace.

Joshua Noel:

That is cool. I, man, because I mentioned a few that were, like, religious that I like. Do you have time for me to play two more before we wrap this up?

Will Rose:

Yeah, go for it.

Joshua Noel:

Okay. All right. I'm playing one Modest Yahoo. Because I already mentioned him. And this is the first Modest Yahoo song I ever listened to.

My roommate in college is who introduced me to Modest Yahoo. And I think you probably already know him. Maybe. But if you don't know him, this will make clear why I love him.

You'll be like, yeah, that sounds like something Josh would like for my soul.

Speaker C:

When it gets thirsty without you there's.

Joshua Noel:

No me or the other I preset.

Will Rose:

Sometimes the world is not I believe out of darkness comes light Twilight Unto the heights Crown Heights Ya burn it.

Joshua Noel:

Up all through the twilight so thank you to my God and I finally got it right Into a fight with.

Will Rose:

All of my heart and all of.

Joshua Noel:

My soul and all of my might.

Will Rose:

I love the this Love will rip.

Joshua Noel:

A hole in the ceiling man, it's just. It's so good. The other one, I'm not sure if it fits Summer necessarily. I think it might, but it's just something I heard recently that's.

I created a new playlist based on this song for myself. That the name of the playlist is for the me I hope to become. So that tells you a little bit. This is a Christian song. It's John Guerra, Citizens.

I don't know if you've heard this one yet or not, but especially the end of this song, if you ever have time for it, you're like, oh, wait. Anyway, so this is John Guerra, Citizens. Great stuff.

Speaker C:

There is a wolf who is ranting all of the shit.

They're clapping, Promising power and protection Claiming the Christ who is killed Killed by a common consensus Everyone screaming Barabbas trading their God for a hero Forfeiting heaven for all men. Coming to you cause I'm angry.

Coming to you cause I'm guilty Coming to you cause you promised to leave the flock for the one I need to know there is justice that we're all in abundance and that you're building a city where we arrive as immigrants and you call us citizens and you welcome us as children home.

Joshua Noel:

I gotta say, I think it sounds better on Spotify, but nice, nice. Yeah. That was a very raw recording. I feel like that was not anywhere near that. It is what's on Spotify. Yeah, I love it.

I think the thing that killed me, too, was when he gets to the part where you're like, for me, I'm listening along like, yeah, I'm confused. Yeah, I'm angry. Why are Christians doing this in our nation? Because he talks about America specifically.

But that line in there where he's like, coming to you because I'm angry, and then follows it up with coming to you because I'm guilty. And I'm like, oh, wait, that's right, I've been complacent. And. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

That's why I was like, I might do a whole episode just on that song because, like, there's like, verse by verse, like, how Christian does, like, with the D.C. talk songs on this. On this show. I'm like, I can do that with this one because it's a good one. Deeply challenging.

Will Rose:

I'll do that. I'll saddle up with you with that.

Joshua Noel:

Okay, well, hey, maybe. Maybe that's what's next. Maybe that's what's next on some Joyful Noises. But for now, we hope you guys had Fun just hanging out with us.

We have other things to do with our lives other than just talk about music. So we do have to go. I'm sure we missed a lot.

And I'm sure you guys are going to be dropping in the comments or on our Facebook group, like, wait a minute, this song wasn't included. And I'm sure I'm going to be like, man, I can't believe I didn't miss mention. I don't know what it is right now or else I'd mention it. So.

But for now, you know, we're probably talking about that song. Soon we're gonna be doing a.

I think me, Brandon, and Joe Day might be getting together to talk about if we had a Big four fantasy Christian concert tour, who would our big four Christian artists beat? Because there's not a lot that I'm like, they're theologically okay and also still sound decent, you know, Nice. Yeah. So that's where.

That's where we are for now, guys. Rate Review Share the Show subscribe all that good stuff. Stuff. This, again, has been a show with no rhyme, rhythm, or reason.

And if you guys enjoyed hanging out with me and Will and like, yeah.

Will Rose:

Joshua recommended some songs. I did not think of that I'm not going to add to my playlist. That's why if.

If anything was good of this particular podcast, it was Joshua giving me recommendations.

Joshua Noel:

Yeah, yeah, I got. I got a small list, too. So hopefully some of y' all have a list. And this is how you build community, right? We start listening to each other's songs.

We're like, hey, man, I listen to the song that you recommended. This was great. Or, hey, this is what got me thinking about this. This is what the song's about. How. What does this mean to you?
