Ha! Does this mean that l’m officially yacht rock?

When I first heard this track there were some reverberations of music I have experienced. But I thought, don’t try and name them. It rarely makes a creator feel better because the good ones labor to find something totally fresh but yet within the bounds of the music they love.

I think you did just that… made some thing from the world of beautifully played and arranged music that tells a story and paints pictures that work well together.

And I know how very hard that is and how little it’s attempted because it’s time consuming and requires you to throw away so much mediocre effort like the first sax solo.

And time is still money in the music business.

Those Yacht guys could do the work and the work paid for a few seasons on the yacht but didn’t make them tech wealthy unless they bought Apple stock.

And yet a creator like Bono probably bought a yacht and he throws mud at the wall like that Spider-Man Musical that he didn’t throw away but the business did.

You know I've never understood the term "yacht rock." And it always kinda makes me cringe. Is it supposed to be music you listen to on your yacht? Or are they saying the artist is so posh and effete that they seem more like the leisure class than bad-boy, street-fightin' rockers? All I know is that if Steely Dan is supposed to be yacht rock, I'll take it!
