00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:00.720 align:middle line:90%


00:00:00.720 --> 00:00:02.680 align:middle line:84%
Cool, so I'll sing
a few songs now

00:00:02.680 --> 00:00:08.280 align:middle line:84%
from the compilation I
mentioned, Silently Loud.

00:00:08.280 --> 00:00:11.800 align:middle line:84%
And I got a chance to record
these with a great producer

00:00:11.800 --> 00:00:12.900 align:middle line:90%
up in Minneapolis.

00:00:12.900 --> 00:00:16.067 align:middle line:84%
Full band, we had a bunch
of instrumentalists,

00:00:16.067 --> 00:00:18.400 align:middle line:84%
we were in an awesome studio,
so the thing sounds great.

00:00:18.400 --> 00:00:20.720 align:middle line:90%
I have a few copies on CD.

00:00:20.720 --> 00:00:23.600 align:middle line:84%
Nobody really has a way
to play a CD anymore even

00:00:23.600 --> 00:00:29.480 align:middle line:84%
but they're kind of quaint,
a satisfying shiny circle.

00:00:29.480 --> 00:00:32.880 align:middle line:84%
But this is also available
on Spotify and iTunes

00:00:32.880 --> 00:00:34.360 align:middle line:90%
and everything.

00:00:34.360 --> 00:00:36.160 align:middle line:90%
Silently Loud, it's called.

00:00:36.160 --> 00:00:40.440 align:middle line:84%
And this is called,
"Being On My Trampoline."

00:00:40.440 --> 00:00:44.640 align:middle line:84%
I wrote this with a
writer named Christopher,

00:00:44.640 --> 00:00:48.600 align:middle line:84%
and he's autistic
and also blind.

00:00:48.600 --> 00:00:53.640 align:middle line:84%
And interesting to realize
how much songwriting

00:00:53.640 --> 00:00:57.560 align:middle line:90%
tends to privilege sight.

00:00:57.560 --> 00:01:00.000 align:middle line:84%
We talk about, oh, there's
great imagery in that song

00:01:00.000 --> 00:01:02.340 align:middle line:84%
and we're always referring
to visual imagery,

00:01:02.340 --> 00:01:06.280 align:middle line:84%
but it was cool to put
this song together,

00:01:06.280 --> 00:01:11.520 align:middle line:84%
really focusing on
sound instead of sight.

00:01:11.520 --> 00:01:13.670 align:middle line:84%
And it also just
absolutely slaps.

00:01:13.670 --> 00:01:15.530 align:middle line:84%
It's called "Being
On My Trampoline."

00:01:15.530 --> 00:01:17.790 align:middle line:84%
So it's a little kinetic,
kinesthetic to you.

00:01:17.790 --> 00:01:20.420 align:middle line:90%


00:01:20.420 --> 00:01:23.890 align:middle line:84%
(SINGING) Just
staying on the ground

00:01:23.890 --> 00:01:25.650 align:middle line:90%
It's all right

00:01:25.650 --> 00:01:30.330 align:middle line:84%
But I've been doing it
every day and every night

00:01:30.330 --> 00:01:32.170 align:middle line:90%
In the air

00:01:32.170 --> 00:01:34.170 align:middle line:90%
Is where I'm going

00:01:34.170 --> 00:01:39.240 align:middle line:84%
When I hear the trampoline
go boing, boing, boing

00:01:39.240 --> 00:01:43.010 align:middle line:90%
Trampoline

00:01:43.010 --> 00:01:47.210 align:middle line:90%
Don't you understand what I mean

00:01:47.210 --> 00:01:51.330 align:middle line:90%
I'm just a human being

00:01:51.330 --> 00:02:02.250 align:middle line:90%
Jumping on my trampoline

00:02:02.250 --> 00:02:04.090 align:middle line:90%
Up in the air

00:02:04.090 --> 00:02:06.290 align:middle line:90%
Is where I belong

00:02:06.290 --> 00:02:10.650 align:middle line:84%
I hear the trampoline
play a jumping song

00:02:10.650 --> 00:02:14.410 align:middle line:90%
That's the song I hear it sing

00:02:14.410 --> 00:02:18.470 align:middle line:84%
When I move my feet to the
spring, spring, spring,

00:02:18.470 --> 00:02:23.130 align:middle line:90%
I spring on my trampoline

00:02:23.130 --> 00:02:27.250 align:middle line:90%
Don't you understand what I mean

00:02:27.250 --> 00:02:31.490 align:middle line:90%
I'm just a human being

00:02:31.490 --> 00:02:41.850 align:middle line:90%
Jumping on my trampoline

00:02:41.850 --> 00:02:44.370 align:middle line:90%
And now I'm flying

00:02:44.370 --> 00:02:46.130 align:middle line:90%
Through the sky

00:02:46.130 --> 00:02:48.050 align:middle line:90%
I touch the little birds

00:02:48.050 --> 00:02:50.570 align:middle line:90%
As they pass me by

00:02:50.570 --> 00:02:54.410 align:middle line:90%
This is where I reach my peak

00:02:54.410 --> 00:02:58.470 align:middle line:84%
When I hear the trampoline
giving a squeak, squeak, squeak

00:02:58.470 --> 00:03:03.290 align:middle line:90%
Giving a squeak on a trampoline

00:03:03.290 --> 00:03:07.250 align:middle line:90%
Don't you understand what I mean

00:03:07.250 --> 00:03:11.290 align:middle line:90%
I'm just a human being

00:03:11.290 --> 00:03:15.450 align:middle line:90%
Jumping on my trampoline

00:03:15.450 --> 00:03:19.330 align:middle line:90%
Don't you understand what I mean

00:03:19.330 --> 00:03:23.370 align:middle line:90%
I'm just a human being

00:03:23.370 --> 00:03:27.730 align:middle line:84%
Jumping, jumping
on my trampoline

00:03:27.730 --> 00:03:31.080 align:middle line:90%
[APPLAUSE]

00:03:31.080 --> 00:03:38.000 align:middle line:90%
