Yeah, and I don't think you'll regret it like they're gonna get to live that primo life get to know what the deal is out there. Like that's Alexa PenaVega called it glamping. Her and her husband are taking their kids on the road with Big Time Rush. We talked her a few weeks ago. She's like, Yeah, we're going glamping on tour. And it's like I've seen artists do it very successfully being skillet, Lacey Sturm the Big Time Rush crew like, parenting on the road is a whole different beast. So I can't wait to touch base on that later. But I do have a few songs on No, right. I have a few songs that I want to dive in on what I call track by track. And I really want to start with my second favorite on the album, which I like them all equally. But this is the second one that really stood out to me. And it's called Paper plates. And I love it because it's not your typical bop for any genre or artist. It's such a random thought that have like paper plates, like throw them away. You know, like don't get caught up and all the material things in life and you It had to be stunning, though I could go on a rabbit trail to be the first gospel artists to perform. And 20 years on the main show for the Grammys, nor the last a win a Grammy like, that was one of the things that popped in my head. Listen, the song is like, I wonder how like, that led into this and if it was written before, so with all that being said, Can you dissect paper plates for us?

Paper plates is a song about convenience. And it's really me recognizing that I like everything quick and easy. Like, please spare me the the real, you know, because then I have to wash that stuff, and I have to care for it. And if you're not careful, they break you know, and so, also, I don't like washing the dishes after I cook dinner. And so it's like, just give me a paper plate, give me some plastic forks. And we just throw that stuff out. And it's, it had become, I had kind of built my life in a way where I was just trying to skate by with the bare minimum, you know, like, I'll cook but I don't want to clean. And you know, I'll do this, but I don't want to do that. And I realized that that was not going to be an efficient and effective way to live life if I wanted to grow and learn from from the reality of the situation. Because the reality is, even when you know, now I'm going to become an activist. Even when you throw those paper plates and plastic forks and plastic cups into the trash, they don't just disappear. And we think that sometimes like when we just put it to the side, or we throw it out that it's done, and it's over, that's not true. There are implications there that we might not be paying attention to, but they come up later on. And so it's really a song about dealing with life dealing with what you already have not buying something disposable or running to find, you know, I had, I had a friend that would hang out with like fake friends, and not her real friends. Because it was easier, like, Oh, we're just gonna go have fun, but it's like, we're gonna actually challenge you and be like, Hey, what's going on with you for real? You know, and so it replaces about that it's making the decision or really acknowledging the fact that I would rather be raggedy and, and irresponsible, then actually deal with real life and be present and be responsible and clean the daggone dishes.
