- And the wizard behind your next hit.
- On their last album,
:04:05
Jay Phillips caught
the critics' attention...
:04:08
when he added orchestral instruments
into their popular surf sound.
:04:11
Surf and turf stuff.
[Laughs] That's not my thing.
:04:14
[Reporter] It seems this was only
the beginning of Phillip's imagination.
:04:18
- Tell us what we can expect
from this new record.
- [Chuckles]
:04:21
Well, I really don't know
what to expect myself.
:04:24
I'm kinda... just gonna sort of
let the album dictate itself to me.
:04:28
But I can guarantee it'll be
different from anything you've
heard from The Riptides before.
:04:33
Very, very talented.
Very sweet.
:04:36
A little out there.
He's from California.
:04:38
Is there any particular theme
or subject stringing it all together...
:04:42
like some of the other
concept albums being recorded now?
:04:47
Childhood. Innocence.
:04:50
How a kid looks at things. How a kid'll
make up a song so the lyrics...
:04:56
don't always make sense to, uh,
[Chuckles] adults.
:05:00
Kids are cool.
:05:02
- Can you give us an example of a lyric?
- He's not so bad.
:05:06
I heard Lennon wrote a song
about a walrus...
:05:09
and McGuinn wrote a song
about a spaceman.
:05:12
There's a thing in music now
where you can write a song about...
:05:15
You can write a song about anything at
all, not just a protest or love songs.
:05:19
On this new album, I'm into
writin' songs like kids do when
they're singing to themselves...
:05:24
- Or playin' in their yard.
- [Laughs] Sounds pretty far out.
:05:27
Yeah, far out.
:05:29
The world's waiting, Jay.
:05:31
[Joel] Listen, I want you to
seriously think about this.
:05:35
- Hmm.
- Hear what I said?
:05:40
- [Rattling]
- Sorry.
:05:42
So, I'll just...
It's been a while.
:05:45
- Sure.
- So, I'll just... Okay.
Let's just go for it, okay?
