The big, big ensemble behind us is Colorado Symphony Orchestra
Yes, yes

Yeah, alright
And we are doing this record, it's called "The Soft Bulletin'"
And as best as we can we're doing it from the beginning all the way through, to the very end
And I think it's going really well, yeah
OK, so
This, this song
People have, probably, maybe a wrong impression sometimes
About the way musicians view, um, just sounds in general
And, told Andre sometimes, we have everybody in the audience
Make some version of what you think would be the sound of an insect, ok?
And he said, well, the orchestra is gonna do the same thing
They're gonna do this bad, this cacophony of things that...
We're all gonna make believe is sounding like a giant swarm of friendly insects of all types
♪
So, we're gonna have them begin
But I do want you to be prepared to be a very, very loud swarm of whatever, whatever insect you want to be
But you must be very loud and I'll help you along, ok
