ENTIRE YEAR SCED I'M WAS WIPED

SO WE HAVE A LOT MORE FREE TIME
TO DE VOTE OUR ATTENTION TO
HAYES.
>> James: I GUESS YOU WOULD
HAVE BEEN TRAVELING AS A FAMILY
AND ALL THOSE THINGS.
IN MANY WAYS IT MUST BE QUIES
NIGHT TO HUNKER DOWN JUST THE
THREE OF YOU.
>> IT IS, IT IS KIND OF BEEN THE
SILVER LINING OF THIS AREA, NOT
BEING ABLE TO TOUR AND
EVERYTHING IS GETTING CANCELLED.
YOU KNOW, WE NEVER GET THAT
FIRST YEAR BACK BECAUSE OUR
NEWBORN, SO TO REALLY BE HERE AT
HOME FOR THE FIRST TIME IN LIKE
A DECADE, I MEAN I'M SURE ALL OF
US HAVE SEEN MORE OF OUR SPOUSES
THAN WE EVER HAVE.
SO IT HAS BEEN A TRIAL.
>> James: WHILE YOU HAVE HAD
THIS AT HOME WHY HAVE YOU BEEN
ABLE TO WORK ON ANY NEW MUSIC.
>> I AM STARTING TO WRITE AGAIN,
I'M BACK IN THE HEAD SPACE WHERE
I CAN BE A LITTLE MORE CREATIVE
AND NOT SO MOM BRAINED.
I HAVE WRITTEN A HANDFUL OF
SONGS VIA ZOOM AND YOU KNOW,
DISSTANT-- DISTANTLY BUT IT'S
KIND OF NICE TO USE MY BRAIN IN
THAT WAY AGAIN AND NOT JUST, YOU
KNOW, WIPE THE KID'S ASS.
