Post Malone: The F-1 Trillion Interview | Apple Music

we've done like every album here cuz so much was done at the cave we go and cut like super rough stuff in Nashville and then come back here are you a bunch of takes kind of a guy oh my God I do that a lot I think on account of being a dad and then whenever you sit down you got to go yeah yeah so I think of kind of mess all by myself don't act like you Ain help me pull that bottle off the shell I'm happy it comes out in the music you know

because I'm having a time of my life that's why I said it's a drug I cannot wait to go and write more songs and get the band out and just keep creating you know I'm so excited I got to keep writing an Nashville I've always wanted to make a record like this but for the longest time it seems so inaccessible because I don't know how the hell it works like I didn't know how Banda day worked I didn't know how session dudes worked and I was just like well how do they is like these particular

artists uh band that they go with all the time like you know right but going in there and meeting Derek and uh Larry Franklin and Paul Franklin and Craig and Dave Cohen and Aaron and um it was just like so cool and I'm just mind Bown it's a playground it's amazing it's it's cool it's I didn't know how it worked and then it's crazy to watch Derek chart a playthrough of a voice memo and chart Y and then go in there and they know it immediately say you have like a cool fiddle or steel line

in your head and you can like sing it to yourself and you're like oh that would be cool on that instrument but you can be like all right try that out and I do it and they do it all the time it's the best it's cuz I hear it all the time and I'm like well I don't know how to play either of those cool instruments but I know someone who does and Larry Franklin is just a genius he's a God among man yes yeah he's he's cool well so you actually did so much of

the work before that even happened cuz I'm assuming you guys wrote all these songs yes ma'am over the course of like what amount of time probably like 6 months but we' go for like a week at a time or like a week and a half and around work and everything and um we would go and just write and there's a lot of writers on these songs um because we just sat and we stayed up till like 6:00 in the morning and all the Buddies came in we all just drank and toss around and um I

learned that that's not usually how it goes it's usually pretty 9 to5 type deal and it's uh in the room instead we have like Luke and and Mo and Hardy and we're just sitting and we got uh so many writers and not even necessarily there to write just to like jam and then and hang out and um it was just awesome I made a lot of lifelong friends I worked with Chuck um handsome he does a lot of Morgan stuff and um I worked with him 10 years ago on some of the first stuff and

then he moved out there to to work with Morgan and everything and I was like let's reconnect with Chuck and just try it out but that's the cool about music is you can love everything like my dad would wedding DJ and play DMX and all wait really he was a wedding DJ yes ma'am he was a killer too he you have to do like actual records it was wait what did you learned from him about that like that's like musical curation that's crazy no he well he played everything so he would do like he just

loved music he he loved he loves Brad and and Tim and my mom was super into you know like the old Hank and George and Conway and all that stuff and but my dad liked like a lot of the S of my mom but the '90s stuff and he loved rap and metal and everything so it was just like kind of a a mish mash of Music um okay do you have any favorite first lines on the song on this record CU I have a couple you go first really yeah sure one of them is

I found God looking for the devil that's a pretty good one that's a great first line yes manam that's the one with Laney that she's a killer there are hits like you push play on the song it's um it's wrong ones it's Tim McGrath but there as far as songs that I think will like live in my heart in a permanent way nose dive messes me up thank you and I guess maybe I'm wondering like can you see the beauty in the nose dive when you're in it or only on the other side of it

well I guess kind of both I guess I think after you've been in the nose dive then afterwards you kind of take every other nose dive a little different and you say all right it gets better you know what I mean it's all there's we're all going somewhere and you know it's it's um it always gets better every you know it fixes itself and just be strong you know I guess that's kind of the message you know yeah hang on yes ma'am yeah um and do you have any any favorite lines surfaced or should I

just keep telling you my favorite you keep going cuz I don't remember um how about um is it it's like $308 on a coconut never look pretti sipping on one with Hardy yeah come on yeah Hardy has such a cool Melo thing that he does cuz he's kind of like he loves like heavy like me I love the heavy I me have you heard the new record from him oh my God oh my God so yeah but then he does that amazing but that like that Melody like like the one like it's such a cool

like way that he approaches Melody and writing songs I mean hide my gun I guess that's what's interesting to me about this album like it's a it's irreverent and it's fun even the like darker songs like a song that's like if I murder someone for you you hide my gun it's still like Redemptive in some because it's like actually about love and it's about who has your back and it's a you know it could be a metaphorical it is totally metaphor y'all I mean I didn't really do it and you can ask anyone and I

have an alibi for that day but no it's just like you know it's like do you love me you know exactly do you love me how much yes ma'am yeah yeah um yeah I think like not to be heavy about it too it's like the bigger your star gets the more you need the people that will have like that's true have your back yes ma'am no absolutely and it doesn't even have to be about a relationship was there anybody that like you were freaked out to get into the studio with or write with Tim was

freaky wait like it's just terrifying well one he he no one should be that good-look it's impossible like he looks like an actor super annoying it is annoying it bothers me it me up um no but it's just like he just comes in normal and I'm like and so sweet oh my God I can't even I was just like I'm like this is out of control this is like the coolest um ever and same with Dean um so cool to write with Dean Dylan I was just oh yeah it surprised me to hear you say

that it felt like I don't even know if you said intimidating but like you didn't know how it worked it seemed impossible cuz I didn't know how it worked but once I got there and I learned and that first Band-Aid I was just like I can't even believe it I think I drink 30 beers and they have a big button in the studio where you could talk to oh my God and I was like Hey what if you did this what if you did and they were like okay I'll try and Larry Franklin and Paul

Franklin are in there doing it and I'm like what the hell this is so cool that is awesome yes ma here's what's crazy like so I got to see her stage coach s mhm which was so fun thank you and it was just like you see you looked like you were having the time of your life I was having the time it was like yes it was like this is awesome Yes um and then the record sounds like that too are you just like happy I am happy how how do I get happy I I

don't can't remember the last album that I made where I was like I have a 2-year-old I'm 29 years old yeah um I'm taking it easy and slowing it down and I think like it's really nice meeting people in Nashville that made me feel so welcome and new friends and kind of building new stuff and for once I'm like I'm I'm not sad anymore I'm happy very happy yeah and um it was such a fresh thing going and watching this band and riding with new people and um I'm so pumped
