paroles de chanson Three Feet of Water (Commentary) - Brantley Gilbert

Can you just talk to me a little bit about Three Feet of Water?
And just
I mean, how powerful that song is
And your faith and being able to sorta show that off a little bit

Upfront about that song
I came in on the back end of it
That's not something I make a habit out of
S-something I do often

I like to be there from the get go
Often times on the road
We'll spit out ideas and these co-writers
You know, everybody brings ideas to the table or somebody

You know, Brian
And some might be sitting around in the bus
And start kicking something around and I come in would join up on it

But this song is one of the very few that Cledus T. Judd sent me
(Wow) all night, he'd call me
Of all people?
Yeah, I mean

And ask way out of left field
What people don't know about Cledus is Cledus is a funny guy
(Hmm) everybody knows that about him
But a lot of people don't know about Cledus is he's got one of the biggest and best hearts

(Hmm) anybody you know
And you hear it all the time
That sometimes the funniest people you know are the most troubled people you know

(Absolutely) Cledus went through some
Some hard times
And made some life changes and some choices and baddest relationship we got

Takes it very, very seriously, man
I think he's travelling around and just do the spoken word record
(Oh, wow)

What's what's up about it
Expect from him, maybe (right?)
But extremely serious about the word records (hmm)

And then nothing
He's been travelling around
Speaking at some churches but he call me and
Damn, it's hardly one morning (hmm)

And I don't wake up, you know
Usually during touring season
I don't wake up till noon or later

So I stay up till four, five
That's only time between midnight and four, five
That's the only time my phone won't blow up

And I actually have time to gather my thoughts
But he called me one morning said
Man, why won't you listen to something for me and
And this is happen to me in times in the past and I was like

Alright, cool
I-I'll listen to it tonight
And I play it on, you know

I-I'd listen to stuff like he had that he'd send me
If I was getting dragged out, one night
And needed a break and needed something to lift the spirits
Or just crack me up real quick

(Yeah) yeah
Bet it him but this one
I'd put in and from the minute I heard the demo they had that

First piano note just some resonated
I don't know how to explain it but
I am telling you there were something about it

And I was waiting to hear the punch line and I was just waiting on it
Because half of it made me funny and it (right)
Didn't happen

The opposite happen
It got real serious but
In an awesome way (hmm)

And honestly, I had wrestled with three or four different song ideas that I've had going
You know, each record has a few songs that pertain particularly to my faith
(Hmm) and these wouldn't

I was kinda wrestling with three or four ideas
They just wouldn't do what I wanted them to do
They wouldn't submit

They just wouldn't come together
And I listen to this thing and when I heard what they had
It floored me

And I knew there was something to it
And I called them and tell them I said, man
Here's where I stand on it
I don't know that I wanna touch that

If you all have somebody that you wanna pitch that to
Would like it is
I don't wanna screw it up

He said, I send it to you because I want you to do your thing with it
Make it yours
Change what you feel like you need to change
And I did that and send it back to him and

You know the other co-writers liked what I didn't
I don't really know how to explain that song
I think it's one of those things that you just have to listen for yourself
With open ears and an open heart

Let it playlist and till
See what it does
See what it moves 'cause it moves something

Yeah, it does
I-It's so convicting and just
I mean, if you have of anything of god on your heart or your spirit
I mean, it will stir it

Even people that don't necessarily believe
Or there are people that I know in my life that I played that song to
And once I devout I i-its (oh, wow)

And straight up sub
You know, how I am but it's amazing there are something special there
Who know what it is (there are other way for people to hear it)

And I think they're gonna be just surprised because it's sort of a different look for you
But it's such a beautiful song and you did such an amazing job with it that I just love it
Thank you, it was special all the way through

The studio
The fella that play keys on that song, name was Gordon Mote
And he's blind (hmm)

Was nobody gave me a heads up on that before he came to the studio
(Hahahahah) and uh
He went on with his song and I'm so happy that Dann Huff brought him and to play that song

'Cause I feel like
Meeting him and spending that day with him made me a better person
(Oh, cool)

He's just an unbelievable man
And, you know
From everything that he made like small comments
At one point it was something like
I can't remember word for word

It was something like
You know, people tell me that I can't imagine going through life not being able to see
And to me I can't imagine going through life being able to see
I'm scared I missed too much (oh, wow)

'Cause he hears things and feel things
This man can tell you like us
Sitting here talking (yeah)

He can tell you what key your speaking voices in (oh, wow)
And he wanted to try the song without the clip (oh, wow)
So without anything keeping the song tempo
We went in and he was listening to my breath

He was listening to me singing play (hmm)
And I've never heard anybody play a piano like that
Ever (that's amazing)

And and there's an unbelievable human being
Him playing that song in the studio
I just feel like I don't know
It's one of those songs it's like

One hell then I'm in
I don't know what's it gonna do (hmm)
But I know it's gonna do something

I think it's gonna move people in great ways
And it's called, Three Feet of Water
