Hey, this is the moment. I'm Brian Coppelman. Thanks for listening.

That sound you hear is Luke Dick lighting his pipe. And that's not a metaphor. That is not a

metaphor. He is lighting up a tobacco pipe which is a cornerstone of what is his creative process.

Luke Dick is one of the world's best songwriters.

He's also a really, really excellent filmmaker,

a philosopher, a smart guy.

I've come to know him over the last couple of months.

And I think the world of this guy is a creative force.

And his life story, which he's told the first big chunk of in a documentary that you guys should watch,

all you should watch, called Red Dogg and the soundtrack to Red Dogs coming out December 4th.

I've heard some of the music it's great and in

fact and just to tell you Luke's written a number one record with Miranda Lambert

Bluebird his record Polyester from the soundtrack is exploding right now.

Miranda sings on that, too.

And man, that's a great track.

Luke, you must be so happy with how it's being received.

Yeah, man, you just kind of never know what's going to happen and so you make things and do your

best to care about them when you're making them and then it's out of your hands once it's out of your hands and then you get the response back and it goes out into satellites everywhere and then you see what people say and then you try not to think too hard about what people say because you're on to the next thing

Working on it right? Yeah, I mean yes all the time try to compartmentalize and move forward. But here's what I was thinking about about both

Bluebird and Polyester. And I know in Polyester you're the artist, but Rand is there with you. And what I was thinking, I want to start here and then we're going to go backwards and but how do you think about like locking in to a unified tone with an artist? I'm always fascinated by that in the million in which you write which is mostly country even though I was just saying to somebody that in a weird way

You have like the same stuff that Gams and this gritty political guy did with pop me. It's like you're not really making when you and Miranda are together straight country music. It's this other thing. And I'm wondering what is the what is it that happens when the two of you are there and how do you think about

what it is that you're doing together?
