know hey when you came to do [Music] if you [Music] he left me wasted it [Music] I've been running [Music] rain and your trends go go babe [Music] you see [Music] listening [Music] yes so in that last line says sitting in my den drinking that's what I was I don't do that much anymore but at that time I was in my hometown Greenville South Carolina and inspiration tends to strike you around those those wee hours of the morning as a writer I mean I know we talked a little bit about you know gloomy days like this just kind of bring out the inspiration I was just kind of feeling really low down and this song came out on the paper just kind of jumped out at me because I had like late-night lack of a better term booze and fueled writing sessions by myself and I'd always go back and listen to recordings and say well these are all garbage we're not gonna use these ideas but this one I went back and listened to and you know kind of stuck out so ended up being the first one we recorded for the new record this is another song off the new record Carolina confessions it's a song entitled remember [Music] I don't make it through some banner home tonight some good rolling the hair sweater wouldn't be there if I could just come home for winter get more damaging anything else this shot could have been home sometime then by yourself you really don't remember me we're Daniel snare [Music] [Applause] down you've been trying to [Music] and I needed you better hair weave in you said it was someplace see I'm not a state of mind I'm ill said I should've never been here but you get me wrong that you will permit me to justify you really don't remember I'm here Daniel stairs didn't see you [Music] remember [Music] I've been trying to again [Music] hard as it may be some time deshone w hope you read said i justö on the phone with you dimple damaging it of the heirs wish I could have been home had you spend your time that by yourself but you're in it all even me and I fear down your stairs [Music] [Music] remember [Music] I've been trying to forget [Music] so growing up around music was a was an absolute blessing to to be surrounded by musicians that were so inspirational where their craft was really eye-opening for me as a kid and especially being introverted and not really outgoing I never played any sports or anything like that so I always was looking for something to express myself through and music became that conduit in which I could get all my things from from here and from here out to the world and I just played guitar for the longest time and once I started realizing what a what a tool music could be and how therapeutic it could be it really it really took off for me then with the writing and singing [Music] I've dreamed of the day gotta hold you in my arms again dad you also hit us on road never say give your all the piece to me put them back together [Music] life has a way for you the hero doesn't always get his burro what have you changing in to the novel they've been right leave no resolution [Music] my shirt my whole life finder hey leave you better hope where I'm going I was seeing you [Music] oh my hand is uneven all my pain to being her see you inside [Music] it takes a man on his own hometown I said hey why he's going [Music] you can come early [Music] [Music] certain minor [Music] I'm going have a seat [Music] hold my hand or somethin Calma plank be enough reason [Music] now back [Music] get back here Ilana search my whole life find you hate me better hope you know but I'm going haven't seen you have you seen you I haven't seen you [Music] the song goodbye Carolina I was in a hotel room in the South of France somewhere and I was just kind of taking a break from writing and just laying on my hotel bed writer's block and kind of thing and this salon came into my head get back here Ilana and I didn't know why it came into my head so I immediately hopped up and I felt it really really deep this on and I didn't understand why yet but I got to my table and I started writing and I saw like an apparition of a good friend of mine that had committed suicide just a couple years prior or a year prior at this time and he was living in Carolinas at time in South Carolina so from that point you know it was kind of a wild thing I was I was sober so there was that I know what I saw and it just really inspired me and I feel like from that moment on the song was written through me from my friend who was a an excellent songwriter and it's written from his perspective so whenever I play the song I feel almost like I'm playing one of his tunes you know I don't take a lot of responsibility for writing it [Music] Saro raised up by the river singing sweet songs watch my plane away [Music] I'm always [Music] she said nobody's ever written songs about me they don't see the beauty in [Music] glad to listen to the river flow cross my mind [Music] anyway [Music] I don't see as I've always [Music] right I can't have these finish you I'm fine here how the first scene is sort of you had the old man who's going to all the place that you'll see she won't stop thinking me [Music] cross my mind [Music] you [Music] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] there's a guitar is that snack model from Rock Bridge guitars out of Charlottesville Virginia which is one of our favorite cities to play in the world and Brian Calhoun over there is the head luthier and he's really just a fantastic human being and he started off building guitars he works with Dave Matthews a lot and I found out about him he reached out a couple years ago I was playing a show in Richmond and he brought like four of his guitars and this one really just stood out to me just the way that it has a bill like sound to it and it really sustains and that's what I need is a acoustic guitar player which I'm not really an acoustic guitar player so I just need something that really carries the sound of the court and we've been working together ever since
