You're too flow. Hey everybody. Today's guest is lead vocalist and guitarist Chris Connley from

New Jersey's favorite sons saves the day.

Together we break down the inspiration, writing, recording, release, and impact of their classic fan favorite song at your funeral.

The lead-off track from the 2001 album, Stay What You Are. I mentioned to Chris

that to me this song is three minutes of pure pop bliss. He filled me in on the story of

why they chose to work with a new producer on this record after working with another one on all their previous projects.

It wasn't by choice, but it was a chance encounter that we both feel through the band into another direction

and elevated who they were as both songwriters and as a band.

Chris shares a deeply personal and frightening story as to why his lyrics around this time took a very dark turn that followed him all the way through his 20s.

He also told the story about a night that was meant to be a story. that followed him all the way through his 20s.

He also told the story about a night that was meant to be a fun writing and jam session

with another highly respected band that turned into a big nightmare when too much weed was

smoked, mailboxes were smashed, and zero music was written at all.

Funny that this turned into the main inspiration behind the lyrics.
