    Chapter Six - At Dawn

    The story of "At Dawn" - the last song on Chapter Six. This episode describes the lyrical impetus, musical easter eggs, and collaborations that made the song take its final form. LESSONS LEARNED: songs are hard to finish, singing low notes is even harder, remembering the names of your favorite artists is impossible. Distraction can not only prevent you from completing a podcast episode recorded a year earlier, but can also lead to metal versions of the song you're working on.

    Close To Me

    The story of "Close To Me". Its origin, lyrics, and the long uneasy path to realization. Two drummers, starting over, and sacrificing what's good for what's right. Also… dad jokes. Photos and show notes: wearechptrs.com Stems and additional mixes: musicbed.com

    Wouldn't Miss It for the World

    So, 2020 was weird, right? Let's talk about California, singing way too high, Nashville strings, Pirates of the Carribean, recording birds...oh yeah, and how this song got made. Change, the pandemic, and music inspired this new piece of music that helped us get through the pandemic and change. "It's about deciding that the time is right to do something extravagant. You have to jump right then or you never will. If it fails, it fails...but let's go out magnificently...Let's just go." Cancel out the noise, let's talk, let's dream. What do we want to do? Who do we want to be? A lot is changing but we still actually have control over that. Photos and show notes: wearechptrs.com Stems and additional mixes: musicbed.com

    When You Came Along

    Inspired by a move to Nashville and featuring some new friends, Josh and Jerad go inside the writing and recording of When You Came Along to unpack the inspiration, stories, and hidden production tips therein. Some songs take a long time to develop, this one did not. Contrasting the other more epic songs on Chapter Six, this one was influenced by artists like Bright Eyes, Elliott Smith, Tony Berg, Jenny Lewis, Jon Brion, Pheobe Bridgers, and Aimee Mann.

    Starting to feel like myself again. "Looking back at the last couple years: raising a child that's not our own, going through court battles to make sure she stays safe… my daughter going into heart failure. There was a lot of turmoil... I don't know who I've been the last couple years. I don't recognize that person, but it feels like things are a little slower- a little safer now. I feel like I can be creative in a different sense now. Overall, the song is about healing and change." Josh & Jerad breakdown the production of the 1st single from Chapter Six and talk about how a still image can tell a story.

    Chapter Five - Q&A

    Downton Abbey, the quarantine creativity challenge, political songwriting, CH5 artwork, streaming services, guitar solos, studio snacks, and rollercoasters. The Radiohead disagreement, creative filmmakers, and spandex music videos on windy hilltops with eagles soaring above. Josh and Jerad answer your questions and ramble way too much into very unnecessary territory no-one cares about. Enjoy.   Photos and show notes: WEARECHPTRS.com/chapterfive Stems and additional mixes: Musicbed.com

    Let The New Begin

    After being in the hospital for months and losing almost everything, a song was written "Don't give up. Don't give in. Take everything we have and let the new begin." Josh and Jerad reveal the songwriting and recording process: learning to play cello, Phil Collins, The Goonies, Trent Reznor, and guest appearances of their friends Tony Terusa and Taylor Johnson.
